I might have been on Pike's Peak, but I was a bit young.

Apparently it is the second floor of the main house in Monticello.

It is quite lower than I would have expected, only 260 m over sea level. I can reach higher points in my city walking for two to three hours starting from the harbour.

The highest point I have ever set foot on in the US is the summit of Mount Scott, in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, elevation 8,934 feet.

I have also been through the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado more than once, elevation 11,158 feet, but  I was in vehicles (my car; a bus) at the time.

Skiing at Breckenridge Colorado when I was in my early twenties. There's a great picture of me and my family having just got off the ski lift with a majestic Panorama behind us.

I don't know, probably somewhere in the Mason City area. As for lowest point, most likely St. Petersburg, Florida.

Just driving 80 west will get you to around 8500 feet, though I actually diverted around the Laramie-to-Cheyenne portion so I'm not sure if I ever got that high.

maybe somewhere in the Great Smoky Mountains?

or somewhere while driving in WV?

I've been to Mt. Davis in PA but I bet that doesn't count.

Probably driving through CA from Reno to Sacramento.

Possibly that mountain in Bar Harbor, ME, the first place in the continental US to see the sunrise.

Tioga Pass, Yosemite National Park (9,943 feet)

Obviously I don't know specifically where I got out of the car and walked around, but surely it was well over 9,500 feet.
