"I had a lot of fun planning this visit on my first trip to Delaware. There’s stories about whether this is the true high point, how the state describes it and so on. A very short stroll, but fun to have another state high point!" — Badgerinmaine • May 17, 2022
"Easy one to miss. We drove past it twice trying to find it. But the sign was plain as day by the side of the road. This was part of a two HP road trip. 1,500 miles in total for two minutes at this HP !" — CravinoCrew • Oct 22, 2021
"A wedding brought us to Wilmington, so we took the opportunity to visit the state high point nearby. The greatest challenge was figuring out where to park the car. Just for kicks, we also walked down the street into Pennsylvania." — jodola • Oct 15, 2020
"As part of a 16 or 17 state highpoint blitz of the Northeast this August while working remotely 8 hrs a day from various Starbucks.
After finishing up work at 6pm EST, I drove onward to Delaware to find a steamy, warm evening and the highpoint hidden behind a bush...do they believe in city street lights in Delaware??? More dark sky than New Mexico! I for sure illegally parked but it was a brisk half block to the high point. Then onward to a toll interstate rest stop for a power sleep before heading further east to NJ High Point." — alexjoseph • Aug 8, 2019
"-One of the toughest climbs I have ever done-
I exited my car, and carefully began my ascent to the blue sign across the street. Those 20-something steps I took went through some treacherous territory. I had to chart my route in order to bypass the asphalt crevasses while avoiding oncoming traffic. The sun, beating down, started to dehydrate me. At such a high altitude - 448', I began to build up a headache from acute altitude sickness. However, after about 30 seconds of leaving my car, I made it to the summit, and celebrated in my success!
Good luck to those planning on making a summit trek! Despite it looking easy, and being able to drive right by it, its quite difficult. When you arrive, there will be a - mulberry tree, branches full of fruits - waiting for you." — sklarguy • Jun 8, 2019
