The state of New Hampshire has forty-eight mountains over 4,000 feet in elevation. According to the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC), to count for the list it must also have 200 feet prominence (which means the elevation drops at least 200 feet between it and the next nearest peak). For an application or FAQ about the official list, see AMC's website.
Why hike the NH48?
Getting out to hike the NH48 isn't about checking off the boxes or earning a little patch. It's about enjoying the beauty of the state and going some places you may never otherwise have gone.
So if you're heading out to hike one of the NH48, click on the associated page on the right. I will be detailing each of my hikes, complete with photographs and trail maps, so you can know what to expect or just to learn from my mistakes.
