Wilkes County Highpoint Trip Report
Date: August 2, 2008
Author: Andy Neisler
After climbing to the summit from another direction we have concluded that the
best way is to travel to mile 273.1 (not 273.4 as on Oeser's report). On the
Parkway where there is a wide area in which to park and hike due south for 0.25
mile to the summit. We found the benchmark well marked with surveyors tapes and
surrounded on three sides with a 1.5 foot high stone enclosure. Absolutely no
view but finding the benchmark is reward in itself.
