Jerimoth Hill, RI, US Highpoint #7, 01 February 2004.

by

Jerimoth Hill, Rhode Island lies at 812 feet MSL and is ranked #46 in elevation among US Highpoints. This was the 4th stop during my cross-country trip with Teewinot and “Nancy.” At the time of my visit, the landowners wouldn’t allow access, and the “acceptable” alternative was this high point on the highway, which is only a a couple hundred yards from the actual point and with negligible elevation difference.

Years later I would return when access was restored, making this one of two highpoints along with Wye East (Mt. Hood) that I have repeated to date.

From here I would head to Mount Greylock Massachusetts

3 April 2017 – 2nd Summit, first to actual highpoint

During a work trip to Boston, I re-visited Jerimoth as access had been restored. This would mark my 5th high point achieved on a work trip, after FL, HI, MI, and TX. As I also attempted Agiocochook (Mt. Washington) on the same trip, I happened to have my helmet and ice axe with me, making for what I consider a hilarious photo and also epitomizes my goofy character!

This rock visually appears to be the highest actual point, although the benchmark isn’t here.
