Highpointing - the sport of ascending to the point with the highest elevation within a given area. The given area covered by this book is California County - there are 58 counties but only 56 peaks to climb. Inyo and Tulare counties - Mount Whitney is their shared high peak. Colusa and Lake counties - Snow Mountain East is their shared high peak. Some peaks are very high, some just a gentle hike. Some will require getting permission of the landowner to gain access. One thing they all have in common is they are the point in that county with the highest elevation. On each log page you will find: County, name of peak, mountain range and it's elevation. Space for you to record information such as the weather, names of companions, time taken to complete the climb/hike. There is space to record any features of the climb/hike to be aware of for a return visit. The rear of each page is dot grid to allow you to either sketch out the route, make extra notes or stick in a picture of you at the summit. The book also includes a page for you to create your essentials gear list to check off before every climb. Included are some blank log pages incase any of the climbs have to be repeated as the 1st attempt was called off due to bad weather. Sadly we can't control the weather.
