Here in America, we don't even call that a point.

What, even in Florida? Does Florida even *have* a highest point?

Every state has a highest point, and Florida's is the lowest one.
Britton Hill, Walton County, elevation 345 feet, or 105 meters.

"Least low point" might be more descriptive.

The flip side is Colorado, whose low point is apparently at 3,315
feet.

According to the same page, that's higher than the summits of any of
the mountains in the Ozarks.

Of the contiguous 48 states, California has both the highest and
lowest points, ranging from Mount Whitney, at 14,494 feet, to Death
Valley, at 282 feet below sea level. (Alaska ranges from sea level to
Mount McKinley, at 20,320 feet).

I've walked up the stairs to the top of buildings taller than that.

Apparently you can do that in Florida as well.
