We had a large amount of new members join our club yesterday (and more today)! Many are just starting their highpoint adventure, so let’s share some advice!
First highpoints, important prep, etc! Share away!
Looking for beginner highpoints in the winter?
There are many all over the country! Some suggestions might be Britton Hill, FL, Sassafras Mountain, SC, Campbell Hill, OH, and Backbone Mountain, MD.
What’s your favorite winter HP?
.@highpointers are people with a quirky goal: summiting the highest point in each of the 50 states, from Mt. McKinley in Alaska (elevation: 20,310 feet above sea level), to Florida's Britton Hill (elevation: 345 feet).
@conorknighton talks with some intrepid travelers whose mission is to view the United States from the unique perspective of each state's tallest peak. https://t.co/rTxruTgJJL

Anyone traveling to the White Mountains should prepare for winter-like weather conditions at elevations above 5,000 feet. Wintry and unsettled weather will continue across the higher summits throughout the forecast period.
The summit saw its first measurable snowfall of
the season today, with 0.3" of snow measured so far.
Below-freezing temperatures, high winds, and fog have also resulted in rime ice for most of the day.
Temperatures aren't expected to rise above freezing
until the end of the week.
Highpointers know the place well, so they won't be surprised that World Atlas lists Kenton, OK as one of the best small towns in Oklahoma.

This podcast takes on an interesting question, "What is Appalachia?" You get a chance to hear from folks who live in the area, and it is an area containing several highpoints.
