A great country and a great road trip. Great parks and great mountains.

This is the true story about the third 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 third trip of three weeks, the journey was over eight thousand miles long and it and took him through twenty states. This is Ameritrekking.

Along the way he drove and hiked to several 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 over fifty color pictures.

Most of the trip was spent in these states:
Alabama
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Idaho
Louisiana
Minnesota
Montana
Nevada

The author went to five highpoints:
Borah Peak, Idaho (12,662 feet)
Cheaha Mountain, Alabama (2,405 feet)
Driskill Mountain, Louisiana (535 feet)
Eagle Mountain, Minnesota (2,301 feet)
Magazine Mountain, Arkansas (2,753 feet)

In addition to highpoints, the author visited several parks:
Big Hole National Battlefield, Montana
Bruneau Dunes State Park, Idaho
Crater of Diamonds State Park, Arkansas
Death Valley National Park, California
Missouri Headwaters State Park, Montana
Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada
