Once again able to reap the small benefits of traveling on business trips for the last 6 years (free airfare, hotel and rental car points,) I decided to see if over a short weekend I could hit the four State Highpoints that I needed on the East Coast. Dad joined me as co-pilot and navigator and we met in Minneapolis to fly to Pittsburgh for the start of our journey.

Mt. Davis is the highest point in Pennsylvania at 3,213 ft. It lies in the Forbes State Forest which is a couple hours SE of the Pittsburgh area. We headed out at about 6:30am and were at the summit parking area about an hour later. After a quick run up the observation tower (with little views due to the fog) and a few photos, we were on the road to the MD State Highpoint just about an hour SW.
