Table of ContentsReviews"“An essential guidebook for climbing the U.S. highpoints.”—Backpacker Magazine ""Holmes provides a simple yet comprehensive description of the nation’s 50 highpoints. I particularly like the addition of alternate routes, special conditions, historical notes and natural history which help enhance the peak-bagging experience. It shouldn’t be just about reaching the top. Hikers and climbers should learn and enjoy the beauty that nature provides around each of these spectacular sites—even if the highpoint is in the middle of a highway. Holmes makes that possible with his Guide to the Fifty State Summits.""—Mike Weibel, coauthor of High in Utah: A Hiking Guide to the Tallest Summits in the State’s 29 Counties" """An essential guidebook for climbing the U.S. highpoints."" --Backpacker Magazine ""Holmes provides a simple yet comprehensive description of the nation's 50 highpoints.
