Welcome to the highpointing category here on highpointer.us. Here you will find first-person accounts written by Eric Wing as he experiences hiking the highest point in each state in the US! Be sure to check back here (or, better yet, subscribe to HighPointer) not only to get ideas for your next adventure but to be inspired about getting outdoors! Eric resides in Arlington, MA which is just 5 miles north of Boston. This means the majority of his articles are focused on the New England region of the United States. There will be exceptions to this, of course, since there are only so many peaks in this region. So read on and be inspired!
