First highpoints, important prep, etc! Share away!
Looking for beginner highpoints in the winter?
There are many all over the country! Some suggestions might be Britton Hill, FL, Sassafras Mountain, SC, Campbell Hill, OH, and Backbone Mountain, MD.

Anyone traveling to the White Mountains should prepare for winter-like weather conditions at elevations above 5,000 feet. Wintry and unsettled weather will continue across the higher summits throughout the forecast period.
We’re looking for feedback about our social media presence. Can you take a few minutes and help us out?

The summit saw its first measurable snowfall of
the season today, with 0.3" of snow measured so far.
Below-freezing temperatures, high winds, and fog have also resulted in rime ice for most of the day.
Temperatures aren't expected to rise above freezing
until the end of the week.

Highpointers know the place well, so they won't be surprised that World Atlas lists Kenton, OK as one of the best small towns in Oklahoma.

This podcast takes on an interesting question, "What is Appalachia?" You get a chance to hear from folks who live in the area, and it is an area containing several highpoints.

Around 10 pm EDT last night, a brief pocket of clearing provided partial views of the Northern Lights; the horizon glowed green, and a few dim pillars danced by the Big Dipper (upper left of frame) while moonlight lit the clouds and foreground.
