Delaware


At 447.65ft, the highest point in Delaware does not share lofty views or pose a challenge for access. In fact, you can drive there, park on a cross street and walk to it in about five steps. There's a marker and a bench, and it's fun for a photo. The marker is just south of the Pennsylvania state line.
