State High Points Accessible by Car

[Thing 342]

What state high points are accessible by car and a short (<0.5 mile) walk? I'm asking because I'm trying to visit as many state high points as possible but don't care much for hiking.

Here's what I have so far:

NJ (High Point)
OH (Campbell Hill)
PA (Mt. Davis)
RI (Jerimoth Hill)
SC (Sassafras Mountain)

Looks like Charles Mound (IL) and Hawkeye Point (IA) both have roads leading up right to them.

Mt. Whitney (CA): no
Mt. Davis (PA): yes

[Rothman]

Mt. Greylock (MA): Yes.
Mt. Washington (NH): Yes.
Mt. Marcy (NY): No
Mt. Mansfield (VT): No

[Ian]

Katahdin (ME): no

[iBallasticwolf2]

Hoosier Hill (IN). Yes
Black Mountain (KY). Yes
Campbell Hill (OH). Yes
Clingmans Dome (TN). No
Mount Arvon (MI). No

[Zeffy]

I'd be shocked if High Point, NJ wasn't accessible by car, since it's technically a town.

[Rothman]

Hoosier Hill (IN). Yes
Black Mountain (KY). Yes
Campbell Hill (OH). Yes
Clingmans Dome (TN). No
Mount Arvon (MI). No

You get very, very close with Clingmans Dome, though.

[oscar]

Mauna Kea (HI): yes, but the road is 4x4-only and has other restrictions, and the short summit hike is treacherous

Woodall Mtn. (MS): yes

Those are my only two high points. But I have been to the U.S. and California low point (Badwater Basin in Death Valley), which is also auto-accessible.

Eagle Mountain (MN): no
Timms Hill (WI): yes

[clong]

AL - Mt Cheaha - Yes, although I haven't been, you can drive nearly to the summit.

FL (Britton Hill)
GA (Brasstown Bald)
IA (Hawkeye Point)
IL (Charles Mound)
IN (Hoosier Hill)
KY (Black Mountain)

VA (Mt. Rogers)

Sort of:
TN (Clingmans Dome) (trail is technically too long to qualify)
HI (Mauna Kea) (not passable by passenger vehicles)

[SD Mapman]

SD - Harney Peak - no (3.5 mile hike, but not too bad)

[TheHighwayMan3561]

Going off Maps, so someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

All of these are no.

CO (Mt. Elbert)
NV (Boundary Peak)
WA (Mt. Rainier)

[oscar]

Sort of:
.
HI (Mauna Kea) (not passable by passenger vehicles)

Is accessible by SUVs and other passenger vehicles with 4x4 transmissions. My two ascents were in rental Jeep SUVs.

There are other restrictions, mainly to prevent interference with astronomy in the summit area, but they can be worked around in the right vehicle.

OR (Mt. Hood) - No

[Duke87]

CT (Bear Mountain): no
NY (Mount Marcy): no, not even close


Mount Mansfield for VT you can get pretty close via car. The hike to the high point from the parking lot is pretty easy (I've done it). So it's not in the category of accessible only to especially fit individuals, although I suppose ruling it a no is technically correct for the purposes of this thread.

As stated before, NY's Mount Marcy is a definite no. Closest road is Essex CR 25 at over 5 miles. Closest road that isn't a very long dead-end is NY 73 at around 10 miles. It's a monster hike that, at 15 miles round trip, is typically done over 2 days. You can drive and take an elevator to the top of the state's 5th highest point, Whiteface Mountain, which is located approximately 25 miles NNW.

I'd be shocked if High Point, NJ wasn't accessible by car, since it's technically a town.

The High Point "peak" and monument are indeed accessible by car, but this is all in the municipality of Montague Township.

[Road Hog]

Mount Magazine (AR) is a yes. The state park on top of the mountain is well-developed with easy highway access.

[1995hoo]

RI: Jerimoth Hill deserves a "yes" because you only have to walk about five minutes to get there. It used to be a "no" because the land was privately-owned and the owners reportedly shot at people who ignored the "No Trespassing" signs, but apparently the state now owns the summit and has arranged for a trail. 

[wxfree]

Texas is a No.  Guadalupe Peak is  a steep hike from the road.  I enjoy the hike, but it's 4 miles long and 3,000 feet high, putting it outside your parameters.

Whitte Butte (ND) Maybe.

[TravelingBethelite]

CT (Bear Mountain): no

That is the highest slope. The highest point is the south slope of Mount Frissell, but no, that's not accessible either.
