The 'New England Fifty Finest' is a list of the 50 most prominent peaks in New England states. This list differs from most Northeast peak-bagging lists in that it's based on prominence rather than summit elevation. Prominence lists tend to be more spread out and are great for getting climbers to explore more isolated peaks in new areas.
