MAP PACK: County Peaks Challenge Download · Instructions |
One of the more nerdy New Hampshire Challenges, we've combined Peakbagger.com's list of New Hampshire Country High Points and list of New Hampshire Country Prominences into a single challenge. Whereas high points are simply the tallest peaks in each county, those with the greatest prominence are the peaks with the greatest elevation differential when compared to surrounding terrain. Our Peakbagger links at the foot of this page go into more detail about definitions and how the county prominences were determined.
Our Trailspotting Map Pack for this challenge provides a single smartphone download for all peaks, including trail navigation and full trail reviews of all the peaks that we've visited so far. The Map Pack is free for personal use and even works when you're offline.

Points of Note:
• The highest point of Copple Crown Mountain in Strafford County is not the highest peak of the mountain, but instead intersects with county boundaries. Be sure to read our trail review to ensure you visit the correct location to complete the challenge.
• Croydon Peak, the highest peak and prominence of Sullivan County is excluded from this challenge because it is located within a private hunting preserve, preventing public access to its summit and fire tower.
