Hard for its length: an average grade… · Summit 4,760 feet by the map contour (some guidebooks round to 4,780). Well over 4,000 feet, but not on the official list of forty-eight - it fails the 200-foot col rule against Mount Lincoln.

Short and hard, not long and hard. Both… · Summit 4,100 feet on the AMC Four Thousand Footer list (the number hikers use); 4,080 feet on the modern USGS survey. The roughly twenty-foot difference is a surveying detail and changes nothing about the climb. The summit has a walk-up observation tower.

Strenuous, long day - hard for its… · Summit North Kinsman 4,293 feet; South Kinsman 4,358 feet, the highest point in the Kinsman Range. Both are on the Appalachian Mountain Club Four Thousand Footer list. North's true summit is wooded with an open view ledge a few steps off the trail; South's true high point is a cairn about 100 yards past the first open ledge you reach.

The loop also crosses Mount Lincoln 5,089, South Twin 4,902, Mount Bond 4,698, West Bond 4,540, Mount Garfield 4,500, Mount Liberty 4,459, Mount Flume 4,328, Bondcliff 4,265, and Galehead 4,024, plus the unranked crossings of Little Haystack (about 4,780) and Mount Guyot (about 4,580).

Owl's Head

Very strenuous, by distance and… · Summit 4,025 feet, with about 825 feet of prominence. The traditional herd-path summit is the one the AMC Four Thousand Footer Committee accepts; the true high point sits about 0.2 mile farther north along the wooded ridge, marked by a cairn. The summit itself is wooded and has no view.

The Bonds

About 22 to 23 miles round trip for the standard out-and-back from Lincoln Woods, tagging…

Very strenuous, by distance… · Summit Mount Bond is the high point at 4,698 feet (prominence about 298 ft); West Bond is 4,540 feet, with some sources printing about 4,520 (prominence about 200 ft); Bondcliff is 4,265 feet (prominence about 205 ft). All three are open, largely above treeline, with big views - Bondcliff's is often called the best in the range.

Hedgehog Mountain

Moderate, and candidly rated hard by… · Summit 2,532 feet. Hedgehog is one of the more modest peaks on the New Hampshire 52 With a View list, which is the appeal - a summit this low still delivers three separate open viewpoints. A few sources round it to 2,520 or list 2,542; 2,532 is the usual figure.

Mount Chocorua

Moderate to strenuous, and… · Summit 3,490 feet. Chocorua is the easternmost peak of the Sandwich Range, in the town of Albany, NH. It is NOT a New Hampshire 4,000-footer - it falls ten feet short of 3,500 and well short of 4,000 - but it is on the 52 With a View list, and its bare summit cone gives a full 360-degree view.

Mount Tecumseh

Moderate, and a common first… · Summit 4,003 feet - the official AMC list elevation, and the lowest of New Hampshire's forty-eight 4,000-footers. Note: a July 2019 summit survey marker reads 3,997 feet, and modern mapping suggests it may sit a few feet under 4,000. The AMC Four Thousand Footer Committee kept it on the list at 4,003 feet, so it remains the official shortest 4,000-footer and it still counts.

North & Middle Tripyramid

About 11 miles round trip for the standard loop over both peaks, out of Waterville…

Strenuous, and it earns it. No hands-on… · Summit North Tripyramid 4,180 feet and Middle Tripyramid 4,140 feet on the Appalachian Mountain Club four-thousand-footer list (the figures hikers use). Other references list slightly lower heights from a different survey, around 4,160 and 4,120 feet - a difference you will not notice underfoot. Both true summits are wooded; Middle has a good outlook ledge just off the top, North has only limited views. South Tripyramid (about 4,100 feet) shares the ridge but is not one of the 48.

Mount Avalon, the best viewpoint of the day, is about 3,400 feet and is not on the list.

Mount Jackson

About 6.5 miles for the full loop over both Mount Webster and Mount Jackson - up one…

Moderate by White Mountain standards… · Summit 4,052 feet (1,235 m), with a prominence of about 332 feet. Mount Jackson is one of New Hampshire's 4,000-footers and sits at the south end of the Presidential Range. It is named for Charles Thomas Jackson, the 19th-century state geologist - not President Andrew Jackson. Neighboring Mount Webster (3,910 ft) is named for statesman Daniel Webster.

Mount Pierce

Moderate by White Mountain standards… · Summit 4,310 feet (1,310 m). Mount Pierce is the lowest of the Presidential Range 4,000-footers along the Crawford Path, and its summit is a broad alpine dome just above treeline. Called Mount Clinton into the 1900s, it was renamed for President Franklin Pierce in 1913; the Crawfords first called it Bald Mountain.

About 6.6 miles round trip on the standard route - the Edmands Path (about 2.9 miles) to…

Moderate by White Mountain standards… · Summit 4,780 feet on the AMC White Mountain 4,000-Footer Club list, which is the figure hikers use; the modern USGS survey reads 4,757 feet (1,450 meters), with a prominence of about 353 feet. Mount Eisenhower was called Mount Pleasant until it was renamed for President Dwight D. Eisenhower by the New Hampshire Legislature in 1969, made official in 1970.
