Jane T. Bertrand is a professor at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. A Maine native, she moved to New Orleans over 40 years ago where she and her husband Bill raised their children, Katy and Jacob. Her recurrent travel to Africa in connection with international family planning work generated many of the frequent flyer miles that made this highpointing pursuit possible. |

What is Highpointing?
Highpointing refers to the pastime of reaching the highest point of every one of the 50 U.S. states, by driving, walking, or climbing.
While some will reach all 50 - including the mighty Denali in Alaska - many others enjoy the challenge of seeing how many they can achieve. Also, there is no time limit, so it becomes an activity that can stretch over years. In my case, it took 10 years to reach 46 highpoints.
