A great country and a great road trip. Great parks and great mountains.
This is the true story about the first in a series of road trips across America by Joseph Whelan, the author. Over the decades his travel time exceeded a year and the distance driven surpassed one hundred thousand miles. On this first trip of nineteen days, the journey was over eight thousand miles long and it and took him through twenty-three states. This is Ameritrekking.
Along the way he hiked to his first highpoints. A highpoint is the highest natural geographic point in any particular state. Every highpoint is different: some are relatively easy to get to, some are not so easy, some are hard, and some are high mountains. This is highpointing.
There are dozens of color pictures.
Most of the trip was spent in these states:
Arizona
