How it's calculated

Progress = peaks checked ÷ 48
Summit feet = sum of the summit
              elevations you checked

Summit feet adds up how high each summit is. It is not the elevation you gained on the trail, which the full tracker logs per hike.

How the NH 48 checklist works

The list is the Appalachian Mountain Club's White Mountain Four Thousand Footers, the 48 peaks the AMC's Four Thousand Footer Club has recognized since 1957. To make the list a peak must reach 4,000 feet and rise at least 200 feet above the ridge that joins it to a higher neighbor. That second rule is why Mount Clay and Mount Guyot, both well over 4,000 feet, are not on it.

1. Check off what you've climbed

Tick the box next to each summit you've reached. The checks save in your browser, so the list is still marked when you come back on the same device. The list of peaks you checked never leaves your device.

2. Read your progress

The panel counts your peaks out of 48, the percent done and how many are left. Summit feet adds up the elevation of every summit you've checked. It is a fun total, not the climbing you did on the trail. Your real elevation gain depends on the trailhead and route.

3. Plan what's left

Set Show to "Still to climb" to see only the peaks you haven't done, or sort lowest first to find the shorter summits. The highest peak you have left shows in the panel.

Worked example

A hiker crosses the Presidentials from Madison to Pierce and checks off 7 peaks: Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Monroe, Eisenhower, Pierce. That is 7 of 48, or 14.6%, with 41 to go.

Worked example: Presidential Traverse summits
Mount Madison5,367 ft
Mount Adams5,774 ft
Mount Jefferson5,712 ft
Mount Washington6,288 ft
Mount Monroe5,384 ft
Mount Eisenhower4,780 ft
Mount Pierce4,310 ft
Summit feet37,615 ft

The highest peak still to climb is Mount Lafayette at 5,260 ft. The whole list adds up to 215,955 ft of summits.

Where the sources differ

The elevations here are the AMC's. For 18 of the 48 the AMC estimates the height by adding half a contour interval to the highest contour line, and those carry an asterisk. Other lists print different numbers for some of them. Wikipedia, for example, gives Lafayette as 5,249 ft and Wildcat D as 4,070 ft, where the AMC has 5,260 and 4,050.

Newer lidar surveys disagree with the list in a few places. A 2019 ground survey put Tecumseh at 3,997 ft. The same data suggests Lincoln and South Hancock fall short of the 200-foot rule and that Guyot now meets it. The club has chosen to keep the historical 48 for now, so this checklist does too.

Owl's Head has two summits. The higher one sits about 0.2 miles north of the traditional spot, and the herd path now goes there. The AMC counts either for now but plans to require the northern one.

FAQ

Common questions

How many 4,000 footers are in New Hampshire?

48. The AMC's White Mountain list counts peaks of at least 4,000 feet that rise 200 feet or more above the ridge joining them to a higher neighbor. Many people call it the NH 48.

What is the highest and the lowest of the NH 48?

Mount Washington is the highest at 6,288 ft. Mount Tecumseh is the lowest on the AMC list at 4,003 ft, though a 2019 ground survey measured it at 3,997 ft. The AMC has kept it on the list.

Why are Mount Clay and Mount Guyot not on the list?

They are over 4,000 feet but do not rise 200 feet above the col to a higher peak, so the AMC treats them as parts of bigger mountains. The south peak of Moosilauke is left off for the same reason.

Is the NH 48 list going to change?

Maybe someday. New lidar data puts Tecumseh under 4,000 feet and may drop Lincoln and South Hancock below the 200-foot rule, while Guyot may now qualify. In 2021 the club voted to keep the current 48 until new USGS maps come out.

How do I join the Four Thousand Footer Club?

Climb all 48 on foot, up and down each summit in one trip (no Cog Railway or tram rides), then send the AMC Four Thousand Footer Club its application. Winter ascents count for the winter award only if the whole trip falls between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
