As highpoints go, Britton Hill does not stand out as an amazing accomplishment. Rising to only 345 feet, the tallest (natural) point in Florida stands lower than the highpoints in any other state. Only five states have high points below 1000 feet: Florida, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Rhode Island.
Britton Hill stands just south of the Alabama border on the western part of the Florida Panhandle, which makes this a quick trip for someone living on the Gulf Coast. That fact makes it the first highpoint that I plan to cross off of my list on this journey. I will have my three-year old son in tow, and I do find it exciting that he and I will reach our first highpoint at the same time.
