Rules - Please Read Before Posting!

Be respectful to other users. No gatekeeping over gear/equipment, photography skills, number of highpoints completed, hiking vs driving to a summit, etc.
Do not post content that shows you illegally accessing a highpoint or breaking Leave No Trace principles. For more information, visit lnt.org.
Pictures and videos should be your own original content unless you found something significant that's worth sharing.
Post your summit pics, but please don't spam the front page with multiple posts that drown out other content. If you just bagged several highpoints in one swoop, provide a link to an album instead and don't forget to tell us all about your trip in the comments!
Users who maintain a highpointing blog or vlog will be allowed one self-promotion post. All posts and comments afterward must be active participation in the community.
Highpoints of the 5 US territories and Washington DC are considered on-topic. Off-topic posts regarding highpoints of other countries and US counties, lowpoints, extreme points in the cardinal directions, and state tripoints will be allowed in moderation.
