What is the highest you have ever been?
I was thinking of plain old altitude but you could take it to mean overdosing on illegal substances if you like.

3 883 m (12 740 ft) on “Klein Matterhorn” on a vacation to Zermatt, Switzerland.
About 5’7.5”higher with heels;)
Somewhere in Colorado a couple years ago, the elevation was around 10,000–11,000 something.
I can’t remember the name but this mountain was amazing, a 360 degree panoramic view.
All these US measurement units make me dizzy
My highest would be around 8,000 feet when skiing in the Alps, unless you count flying when I reached 50,000 feet.
I live at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. I can get to 7000 feet in less than an hour.
Not walking…driving. lol
Rocky Mountain National Park is really close to where I live, so in about 45 minutes I can be at over 12,000 feet. On a paved road! So sosososososo pretty.
C’mon, guys, has nobody flown? At least 37,000 ft for me.

Okay…true, flying would be the highest I have ever been…hmmm..flew 13 hours to Taiwan last March but don’t remember the elevation announcements.
All I know is the Pacific is one huge ocean and my plane didn’t fall into it over 6000 miles. Whew!~ lol
I am with Jillthe tooth on this one. 37,000 ft.
I just had to put that in cuz I’ve never been mountaineering or really into drugs either. But, hey, couldn’t let a chance for a quip to go by!
@jonsblond : Love the avatar! Still get the willies from that one…;-)
@JilltheTooth thank you! My husband (Blondesjon) and I match our avatars. Not many people are getting the connection with the two we have right now. We like to keep you all guessing. ;)
@jonsblond : Just looked at his, not seeing the connection. Damn. I’m not as clever as I thought!
summit, Mt. Washington, then there was that time in Baumholder.
I love everything about this question. I hope someone’s answer involves both options.
When I announced to my friends and family I was engaged.
Oh!
I completley forgot!
I took my daughter on a hot air balloon ride for her 21st B-Day the year before last.
Talk about a HIGH!
I have never had so much fun in my life!
Champagne at sunrise, ( and plenty of it ) and cruising waaay up in the sky , a double high!
We were up for over an hour, I never wanted that balloon to come down.
Varying heights from a few hundred feet up to about 1200–2000
Amazing, exhilarating and scary all at once.
Once the champagne worked it’s magic I felt much more ‘grounded.’ haha
Racing balloonists often cruise at 10 thousand feet!
Mt. Elbert: 14,433 feet.
There was also a four-day weekend in Amsterdam to see String Cheese Incident. This one may be a tie.
International flights
All over the Alps (the Zugspitze stands out in my mind)
Pikes Peak at 14,115. But every time I hear my kids say “thanks Dad you are the best” I am flying higher than high!!
Forty-something-thousand feet, on a transatlantic flight.
Highest I’ve been with my feet still on the ground was at a particular party while I was in university…
