Western United States High Points
These are the high points of the Western US States (and Texas).
I first considered climbing these peaks in the early 1980s, but was distracted by other climbing projects and bicycling trips for many years. With a successful climb of Denali in 1996 and my recent progress I anticipate completing the project over the few years.
