As I recall, I was wearing a tie when I visited Ebright Azimuth. Don't be deceived though. It's a dangerous highpoint, for sure. You really have to watch for traffic in
both directions on that road.

I've done all of the western highpoints except for Denali and Granite. Anyone want to bust them out?

Highpoint Trivia
How many US state highpoints are located within a national park? Can you name them?

That is tricky. Several state parks I can think of but the only National Parks coming to mind is Denali and Cling man's Dome

Very good! You got 5 right. Mauna Kea is the HP for Hawaii, not Mauna Loa. Maunka Kea is a state park, not a NP.

Congratulations George. I wish my wife and I could have worked out a way to join you in Hawaii. Any plans to attend the Highpointers Konvention in Oregon this summer? We will be spending a week out there climbing and mingling with other Highpointers.
