Need that perfect gift or stocking stuffer for an avid outdoors person or traveler?

By joining you will have access to the annual “Konventions” which are held in one of the United States’ geographical areas each year. These are the best “Face to Face” experience that you can have to get the most out of highpointing and travel.  There you’ll meet hundreds of new and very experience climbers and travelers that will help in your quest. 

Past conventions have been held in Kona HI, Taos NM, Stowe VT, Asheville NC and the 2008 convention was hosted in Flagstaff AZ at “The Snowbowl.”  The 2009 New Jersey convention will be held in the Highpoint State Park area to the North where the host city will be Matamoras PA.

The tower looks very similar to the one on Clingmans Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee but without the long walk involved. In fact, one of the main reasons the North Carolina State Park system decided to replace it was to make it more handicapped accessible.

Rangers will be able to take disabled visitors up to the new tower in golf carts and walkers will find that the ramp is shorter and smoother than the one to the previous tower.
