lazy guy answer without too much formula. could reduce 2/3 of the workflow using the formulas. Make columns could be used for more efficiency 

Runtime is not that bad tho.

My solution - I try to use as basic a tool as possible, in the most basic, step-by-step way as I use these challenges as a fun way to train up the rest of my team.

I misunderstood the third question and assumed that "neighboring" meant "adjacent." So I solved for that first then checked the solution and realized the question just meant in another state. So both solutions are shown below.

@patrick_digan your solution file is a blank start file.  I am interested in seeing the inner workings of your formula tool in the Highest Peak transformation.  Can you please reattach when you get a chance?
