Some people go on adventures. Some turn
adventures into missions that may take
weeks or even years to complete. Such
was the adventure-turned-mission of Charlie
and Diane Winger, who wrote Highpoint
Adventures: The Complete Guide to the
50 State Highpoints. They’ve been
to all of them and, in delightful detail,
tell how you can do it too.
----Detroit Free Press
[The Editors] are thoroughly impressed
with Diane & Charlie Winger’s
new edition of Highpoint Adventures. It’s
bigger than their first pocketsize edition,
but they needed that space to cram in
endless items of interest. This book reads
more like a slick magazine with countless
photos and sidebars, all formatted in
a modern, exciting layout.

Zenith Newsletter
This guidebook, published by the Colorado
Mountain Club Press, provides maps, directions,
pictures and descriptions that help make
the life of a highpointer easier, if not
less adventurous. It is fun to read and
study, even if you have no plans to become
a highpointer.
----roanoke.com of The Roanoke Times
The well-organized, reader-friendly book
rates the highpoints in terms of difficulty
and elevation gain, includes specific
instructions on how to get to trailheads
and parking areas and recommends the easiest
routes to the state summits, which range
from Alaska’s 20,320 foot McKinley
(Denali) to Florida’s Lakewood Park,
elevation 345 feet.
--The Pueblo Chieftan
Whether you want to visit all 50 highpoints
or just cherry-pick the best hiking destinations,
this book is an intriguing guide for those
attracted by the lure of high places.
