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.

I have watch every Adventure movie this last 35 years and I can assure you this one is the best I ever seen. That’s just perfect. Everything is perfect OST, Camera, script, acting, ideas ALL GOOD!
Highpointers is one of those movies where the edge of your seat is your permanent residence till it ends.
good movie to watch on tv but I'm glad i didn't pay movie price.
This movie has a special place in my heart possibly because I've done the work that Kathleen Wolff has done before! Great choice of actors as well!
extraordinary and beautiful movie ! The actors expressed their emotions and made me believe that they are really going through some sort of emotion.
This is a movie with a simple and straightforward plot which contains layers and layers of intelligent writing. This is a brilliant movie. Watch it.
Very interesting concept! This was a great movie!
I saw this at the movies and liked it. I like Adventure movies and this is a good one.
Not a Predictable script
The actors do a good job. Nice story.
This movie was absolutely great in my opinion; it might even be my favorite movie at this moment.
Gary Scurka was a director who meticulously thought about the look of every frame of his movies.
