The Highest Places in America

"The elevation-gifted Driskill Mountain sits in the forests in the northern part of the state, and is named after one of the first settlers in the area. Hailing from Georgia, James Christopher Driskill and his family of nine children came to the area in 1859. Observant travelers will notice the Driskill name on many mailboxes on the roads in the area, and on some of the headstones of the cemetery of the Mt. Zion Presbyterian Church, the traditional starting point for the hike. Logging is frequent in the forest, and the roads may change depending on the activity, but signs are posted for hikers to follow to reach the summit cairn and new kiosk one mile from the church." - ATLAS_OBSCURA
