Comment
This is a first draft compilation of two-fer counties. A two-fer is a
pair adjacent counties that share a common highpoint. Similarly, a three-fer is a trio
of counties that share a common highpoint (the only example being Blanca Peak, Colorado).
Lists are provided here for the following categories -
True two-fers
- A single highpoint meets the criterion for defining a two-fer as
described above.
Near two-fers
- Two highpoints lie with 1/4 mile of each other on the same ridge.
Partial two-fers
- Counties share multiple possible highpoint candidates of which at least one
candidate highpoint from county one is identical to at least one
candidate highpoint from county two (i.e. there is at least
one "true two-fer").
In principle one may also have "partial near two-fers" and "partial trip two-fers",
wherein the criteria for the near two-fer or trip two-fer assignments
are met by at least one pair of candidate highpoints with each county contributing
to the pair. In the compilation of these lists such interesting cases were not
considered and hence are not reported here.
Trip two-fers
- First county highpoint is within one mile hike or five miles by
vehicle of the second county highpoint's route.
