This is all coming from someone who hates roads up mountains and thinks they ruin the mountain. Take it for what you want. |
No sense of accomplishment for
you. But for somebody else simply saying that they have been to every state, not to mention to the highest point, may be an accomplishment to them. Remember, not all state highpoints are mountains, and not all are remote enough to need to hike to. Therefore, I don't think that state highpointing is inherently a hiker's endeavor, necessarily.
