Let's explore the highest point of US states in GeoGuessr! My video discussing the 50 state high points is by far my most popular, so I thought it would be interesting to bring that topic into GeoGuessr. Make sure to like the video, and use the links below to play along!

I’m from NC and that Mt. Mitchell photosphere was definitely not correct. There’s a huge observation platform and a road and parking lot going up to the mountain top. It’s possible it was the same mountain, but certainly not the highest point. I didn’t even recognize it!

Ok, now we need a series where you actually climb every high point!

To be fair the Mount Mitchell one wasn't actually the top. The top is an observation tower.

I just want to leave a comment saying how much I appreciate these vids. There really aren’t many USA based geography channels and I think it’s very cool how much knowledge you have on our country :)

Great video! I’ve done the long overnight backpacking trip up Kings Peak twice, and I need to get more state high points! Most of them are probably easier than a 27-mile hike haha

@whotyjones Жыл бұрын

Kings is a lot of fun! Very easy hike for the first 9 miles out to the peak, then you have that hike over Gunsight Pass before dropping back down (or hugging the rim - which I did, but it was really difficult to scramble over all the talus)...then all the false summits going to the peak, haha

@@whotyjones yeah both times I’ve backpacked at Dollar Lake seven miles in, then you get to the saddle and it’s a slog. Very tough but a lot of fun

@whotyjones Жыл бұрын

@@Steveofthejungle8 I've thought about another trip there where I camp out two nights at that spot to break up the looong haul back. Is that what you did in the past? I think it would be nice to just relax for a while after such a long day hiking up to the peak

A lot worse at identifying those than I expected to be! Very funny to see the diversity of what gets to be a high point and how some are literally just random spots in the woods

I'm pretty sure Borah Peak was so crowded because everyone was there to see the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017.

I've been to Mt. Mitchell multiple times and that photosphere was a terrible depiction of that beautiful mountain😂. Love the high point content though👍

@musubk Жыл бұрын

@12:11 that guy is holding a pair of cardboard eclipse glasses, so the reason so many people are up there is probably for the 2017 eclipse. That's a good clue in itself - which high point is within the path of totality for the 2017 eclipse? I don't know where the ecplise path is exactly by memory but I do remember it ran through Oregon and Idaho

I'm from Wisconsin and have never been to Timms Hill but knew it wasn't the metal observation tower from going up the wooden observation towers in Door County's Peninsula State Park and Lapham Peak in Waukesha County. I've been to Mt Mitchell, NC, Sassafras Mt, SC and Clingmans Dome, TN.

Thanks for posting this well made and interesting video. I am British but used to live in the US. What is good to learn is that height above sea-level is not correlated to size and demand of climb. I holidayed in Colorado and climbed Mt Elbert, about 14,500 feet above sea level. However the Colorado Rockies are not that much bigger than my beloved Highlands in Scotland. Indeed Mount Elbert to me was a hill walk. However travelling in Oregon and Washington state, though the summits were lower then Mt Elbert above sea level, the mountains were much bigger in scale. Mount Rainier looked tough.

17:47. "This almost seems like a volcano over there." It was indeed one of the most infamous volcanoes of them all: Mt St Helens. If you were on the summit of Boundary Peak in Nevada, the taller Montgomery Peak in California would be less than a mile away.

Fun to revisit a lot of the highpoints I've been to! Are you a fellow highpointer? I've met a few on my trips and it's always fun. I haven't made plans to get any more in several years, but I've got 11 so far!

@whotyjones Жыл бұрын

For any fellow highpointers, my list currently includes, in order of achievement: UT, MA, RI, CO, ID, KS, MO, OH, IN, DC, HI I didn't go to the ACTUAL top of Mauna Kea. There are many signs saying not to due to the cultural significance to native Hawaiians and I wanted to be respectful :) I just took a picture with the sign explaining this. Good enough for me! I was on the Idaho highpoint during the total solar eclipse that passed over! That's the picture used in this video. I remember talking to a couple of the people in the picture
