White Mountains 4000 Footer List
The White Mountains have a number of peaks that are higher than 4000 feet above sea level. Many hikers make it a goal to have climbed all 4000 footers, as they are called.
In order to qualify as a four thousand footer, a peak must be at least 200 feet above any ridge connecting it to another peak. It is interesting to note that over the years technology has enabled us to more accurately determine elevations, so that at times certain peaks have been removed while others added.
The White Mountains 4000 foot list is also known as the New Hampshire 4000 footers. Some 4000 footer lists add Old Speck Mountain (4170 ft), which is actually in the Mahoosuc Range in Maine but not within the boundaries of the White Mountains National Forest.
The following mountains are on the official AMC White Mountains 4000 Footer list. Those peaks with a "*" means that the elevation is estimated by adding half of the contour interval to the highest contour line.
