Louisiana is a low-lying delta state whose highest point - Driskill Mountain - reaches just 535 feet above sea level. I had visited the state highpoint back in 1999 with no real plans to go back. However, in 2004 my wife and I decided to spend our Christmas holidays touring Louisiana, with time in the bayous, New Orleans and points north. We bagged a number of easy parish highpoints along the way, including a few below 100 feet elevation. Weather ranged from sunny to snowy! We failed on a few other parish highpoints due to hunters, access issues and weather.
