Nome, Alaska is farther west than Kauai, by a couple of degrees of
longitude; but I couldn't tell you whether it has any hot spots. :-)

Isaac Asimov once pointed out that, since the Aleutian archipelago
extends beyond the International Date Line, Alaska could be
considered to contain the westernmost, northernmost, and
*easternmost* points in the United States!
