American Highpoints
This adventure film is the world's first, feature-length documentary to introduce the little known sport of 'highpointing,' a unique hobby for climbers and outdoor adventurers. The story begins as a father and daughter team attempt to chronicle their journey to reach the highest point in every state. But the quest turns more serious as they learn Wyoming's Gannett Peak is deep in wilderness territory. When the father becomes injured, his daughter forges ahead with a group of climbers - among them, an accomplished teenage rock climber who is challenged by a disability. The film themes are adventure, perseverance, youthful coming-of-age, triumph over adversity and wilderness appreciation and preservation. The film includes stunning scenic cinematography of the rarely seen Wind River Range in Wyoming. Filmmakers were the first to be granted a commercial film permit for Wyoming's Fitzpatrick Wilderness.

Very moving, very touching. For that alone, it deserves unalloyed plaudits.
I hope that this film stands the test of time because it is "classic" material.
The actors do a good job. Nice story.
good movie to watch on tv but I'm glad i didn't pay movie price.
Now That's what you call Adventure
Great movie! Cinematography was excellent and scenes were superb.
Impressive! It really achieved higher than any other Adventure movie before and it goes down as a masterpiece. Perhaps the best that cinema has ever been.
