The PA and MD highpoints may be close to one another on the map, but they are far when you take the actual roads. Similarly for WV. I'd leave these three for another trip unless you plan in the time. There's much else to do in this area as well, all sorts of Appalachian peaks to consider. Remember, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but no one told the road builders that! (Seriously, in WV, if you need to go 10 miles, plan on driving 30. In my 4 or 5 trips to WV and the region, this is always the case, but the scenery is lovely).
