The New Hampshire 4,000-Footers form New England’s most popular peak list—and likely the most popular peak-bagging list in the United States. The challenge consists of 48 mountains in the White Mountains that rise above 4,000 feet and meet a minimum prominence requirement to qualify as separate summits. Maintained by the Appalachian Mountain Club, the list has become a cornerstone of hiking culture in the Northeast, drawing thousands of hikers each year to the rugged peaks of New Hampshire. Many of the mountains, including Mount Washington—the highest peak in the Northeast—feature alpine environments, challenging trails, and sweeping views above treeline. Hikers who successfully climb all 48 peaks are eligible to join the AMC’s Four Thousand Footer Club, continuing a long tradition that has made the list one of the most celebrated mountaineering challenges in the country.

The elevations shown have been updated in 2022 using LiDAR data (which is accurate to within a few inches). The AMC has no intention of modifying the traditional list, but if they did, the new findings are:
-Mt. Tecumseh is only 3995'
-South Hancock does not have the required 200' prominence
-Mt. Guyot does have the required 200' prominence
