make sure to bring your winter gear! 545 feet is nothing to play around with!
seriously, that's something I wouldn't mind doing myself. Also,Mississippi has Mt Woodall that is slightly under 800 ft.

Anyone hiked Magazine in Arkansas?

eta: Woodall is 807

I think I've been to Mt Woodall. I think we drove to the top. I was really young but thought I remember my dad saying it was the highest point.

It's in extreme NE Miss.
My delimma is I can hardly justify driving to NW Arkansas or even North Mississippi or Alabama...If I've gone that far I might as well drive to the smokies.

You'll be hooked once you do. Pretty damn fun accomplishment. I don't have any under my belt but plan on it.

There are lots of places that are close that u just don't get out to see often. It's been about 20 years since I've been to Clark's creek trails.

I've always wanted to summit mt. Driskill. I've climbed over 50 mountains over 4,000 feet and summited a 14'er, yet I've never been to my home state's highest point.

I do Clark's creek every few years...surprises me how tough it is every time. (I've never really been in good cardio shape until now)

My high point is South Sister, 10,358.

I plan on attempting Mt. Rainier in the next year.

I remember seeing a trail that was loaded with bikers near buffalo bills grave in golden. You'll have fun, enjoy. I really wish I had access to the mountains right now.

Chautauqua Park in Boulder is great and the Royal Arch trail has a cool view of Denver. It's also a very close drive.

I have done Mt Massive near Leadville years ago when visiting family who live there. Pretty disappointing for the altitude. Lots of the mountains in Co. don't have a lot of prominence.

What do you think about the tarptent contrail or something like it? Its obviously light weight. What are the cons?

Lot more prominence than some other 14'ers in Co. Most are just somewhat inclined hikes at high elevations.
