List of mountains of New Hampshire facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The below list of Mountains in New Hampshire is an incomplete list of mountains in the U.S. state of New Hampshire, with elevation. This list includes many mountains in the White Mountains range that covers about a quarter of the state, as well as mountains outside of that range. Several of the mountains are sites of major alpine ski resorts.

Some of the peaks are included in specific lists of mountains, as denoted in the table:

  • 4000 footers – listed on the four-thousand footers, peaks with an elevation of over 4,000 feet (1,200 m), per the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC)
  • 50 Finest – listed on the New England Fifty Finest
  • AT – mountain is on the Appalachian Trail, a 2,170-mile (3,490 km) National Scenic Trail from Georgia to Maine
  • 100 highest – listed on the New England Hundred Highest, a superset of the four-thousand footers

Note that some peaks with sufficient elevation to be considered four-thousand footers are excluded from the AMC lists because the peak's topographic prominence does not meet AMC's prominence criterion. An example is the 5,532-foot (1,686 m) Mount Clay, located 1.1 miles (1.8 km) north-northwest along the ridge joining the peak of Mount Washington with that of Mount Jefferson, rising less than 200 feet (61 m) above the general trend of that ridge.
