New Hampshire's 52 With A View

. See the latest 52-With-A-View Trail Reviews
Welch Mountain, New Hampshire White Mountains

Established by the Over The Hill Hikers, the New Hampshire 52 With A View list showcases some of the best scenic views in the state. Why 52? When combined with the 48 peaks of the NH 4,000 footer list, you now have 100 of the best mountain hikes in the New Hampshire!

We've created a map that shows not only the 52 peaks but also illustrated our preferred routes to reach them. Routes are listed below in order of mileage and includes links to downloadable maps. As Trailspotting explores and review each trail we also add links to our own trail reviews featuring descriptions, photography and more mapping. This list and map will be refined if we find more optimal routes or if conditions change. All mileages and elevation gains listed on this page are total and includes return trips on out-and-back routes. If you're also tackling the NH 4,000 Footers list be sure to click on '4K' above the map or see them 'ALL' on a combined map.

Do you want to track your journey to hiking all these peaks? We recommend setting up an account at Peakery or Peakbagger. Both of these sites will keep a record of your accomplishments and let you know how close you are to completing each of the lists.
