Kings Peak (13,528') lies deep in the Uinta Range and is the highest summit in Utah. There are several trailheads to access Kings, but the shortest and most commonly used approach is from the Henry's Fork TH. Even this route requires a 25-mile round trip with 4000' of vertical gain (and loss).
There are 5 peaks in Vermont over 4000 feet: Mount Mansfield, Camel's Hump, Mount Abraham, Mount Ellen, and Killington Peak. They are all easily accessible from roads. We have 2 normal variations: "just the peaks" (i.e., driving between the THs), and "peaks & connections" (including human powered travel between the THs). Our map shows Peter Howe's track connecting all the peaks by bike.
