Highpointers Foundation volunteers make road improvements along the Queen Mine Road to Boundary Peak, Nevada (July 2021).

We make important improvements to roads and trails for highpoints around the country, often relying on volunteers, and collaboration with other nonprofits or government agencies.

We install benches, informative signs, registers, and other resources at highpoint trailheads, viewpoints, and highpoints themselves to enhance visitation and user experiences.

We work diligently with land owners and other organizations to manage easements and access to highpoints. Building these strong relationships helps protect highpoint access for all users.
