I was at Wisconsin's highest point this summer:

I have been to the top of Mt Washington in New Hampshire:

I have been on the top of Pikes Peak but that is not the highest point in Colorado.

2. I've been to the summit of Haleakala in Hawaii....
If memory serves, that's the highest point in Hawaii. Don't know about elsewhere. :)

5. Ooooh! I'm sorry. That is incorrect.
Mauna Kea on Hawai'i island (the Big Island) is the highest at 13,796 ft. compared to Haleakala's paltry 10,023 ft. (still the highest on Maui).

You're still in control of the board, NewWave. Make another selection, please...

7. Is Wachusett the highest point in MA?
If so, then yes. Also, I'm higher than Jesus right now.

13. The highest point in Mass. is out west in the Berkshires.
At Mt. Greylock.

Here is a link I just found that could be useful for this exercise:

http://geology.com/state-high-points.shtml

So, I have been to the highest point in Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

9. NY, MA, & CT
http://americasroof.com/usa.shtml

Mt Greylock in Massachusetts, Mt Marcy in New York, & the highest point in Connecticut is on the state border with Massachusetts.

I need to plan a trip to Mt. Washington in NH. I read a great book about the history of hiker deaths in the area called "Not Without Peril". That's a mean mountain.

12. Harney Peak, South Dakota


It's the highest point in the world between the Rocky Mountains and the Alps. It's a great view.

14. Highest point(s) in states
Hi LSK,

I have been to Spruce Knob in West Virginia many times.
That's about the extent of my highest point experiences,
not including chemicals.
