One of the greatest adventures in U.S. travel is collecting the 50 state highpoints!

The list below was updated in 2022 using LiDAR data (the latest and greatest in topography technology). LiDAR elevations are not yet available for the highpoints of AK, SD, or KY. LiDAR presented evidence that other areas near Mt. Davis could be higher than the traditional summit boulder, but a 2024 dGPS analysis found those points to be 3' lower. A similar analysis was performed on Mt. Rainier, since the Columbia Crest has melted 22' lower in the past few decades. The new Rainier highpoint is the southwest rim.

Difficulty score is determined by Martin Classification of Difficulty for U.S. State Highpoints and is based on the easiest standard route.
