After spending so much time hiking in beautiful New Hampshire, I thought I’d put together some lists of my favorite spots and hikes in the Granite (aka Greatest) State. There are only a few lists here right now, but as I continue to share notes about hikes and places to go, I’ll add more information (and lists) here. I hope you find these helpful and if you have any questions about a hike or a peak, feel free to drop it in the comment section. Enjoy your time out there!
NH’s 4000-Footers
No set of NH hiking lists would be complete without mentioning the 4000-footers. Beautiful and inspiring at any time of year, these mountains feel just as big as a hike out west—you just have the benefit of starting at a lower elevation.
New Hampshire’s 52 With A View
I’m currently working on this list, not for any particular desire to complete the list, but because each of the hikes on it has proven to be incredibly rewarding. When I’m done, I’ll probably get the patch and create an image link with it, but until then you can just click the link above. Of all the peakbagging lists I’ve set out to unveil, this one is the best in terms of getting you quickly to places of remarkable beauty.
The Belknap 12
I started working on the Belknap 12 before I even knew it was a list. I was on a quest to see all of the mountains surrounding Lake Winnipesaukee and after climbing a few of them, learned there was an official list!
The Wapack 11
This list I created for my own purposes, wanting to explore the major summits of the Wapack Range. Ten of the peaks are located along the Wapack Trail, but I added Kidder to the mix.
Sharing the Trails
It took me a while to find resources to help me discover the lesser-known hikes in New Hampshire. As time goes by, this page is intended to shine a light on all of the trails I come across whether they are popular or not. I often wished I could find information online about some of the more obscure trails—some pictures or trail details of any kind—but I was usually disappointed. Hopefully I can add enough here over time that it will give people a little insight into what they can expect, inform their preparations, and aid in fostering both a rewarding and safe adventure.
And besides all that, it’s just beautiful out there and I love to share pictures!
See you out there!
