Driskill Mountain is the Louisiana State Highpoint. Once again I was able to take advantage of a business trip in the area and detour to “tag” this peak. The hike is an 0.8 mile one way stroll through the woods on private property. The highpoint is a whopping 535 foot elevation and it ranks 48th in all states – only Florida and Delaware are lower! I didn’t have a lot of time to spend looking around, got stung on the neck by some flying creature when signing the guest register and it was 85 degrees with 95% humidity, so I took a few photos and was back on the road. Hopefully I will be able to spend a bit more time enjoying the scenery of our next scheduled highpoints – 2nd attempt at Humphrey’s Peak in AZ and Wheeler Peak in NM.
