Hiking Lists

These peaks in New Hampshire are not high enough to be on the New Hampshire 4,000-Footers but are renown for their stunning views, either at the summit or along the way there. The list has changed over time as views have become overgrown or as new views have opened up due to storms. Hikes range from beginner-level to expert. Two of these hikes are actually pairs of peaks (Welch + Dickey and North + South Doublehead). These pairs are typically hiked together and each pair counts as one peak toward the 52. Additionally, all delisted, or "grandfathered" peaks can still be hiked. As soon as you reach 52 with any combination of peaks, you are eligible for your patch.

Adirondack High Peaks (sometimes ADK46 or just ADK) is a popular and demanding hiking list of 46 peaks in the Adirondacks. Initially including just peaks of at least 4,000' elevation, subsequent surveys showed some peaks slightly under 4,000'. Adirondack 46ers, a nonprofit whose members have climbed all 46 peaks, is dedicated to environmental protection, education, trail maintenance, and other Adirondacks initiatives. Completion of the list makes you a “46er”, and a Winter 46er patch is also available. All peaks in the ADK46 are also part of the New England 115.

The 12 summits of the Belknap Range in central New Hampshire, as recognized by the Belknap County Sportsman Association. Completing all 12 peaks qualifies hikers to receive the program patch.

The Catskill 3500-Footers encompass all peaks in New York’s Catskill range of at least 3,500' elevation and certain prominence rules. The list currently includes 33 out of the original 35 peaks, as two of the original peaks are on private property and have therefore been retired. Two peaks, Slide and Hunter are over 4,000' so they also appear on the Northeast 115. Many of the Catskill 3500s are “bushwhacks” with no official trail, however herd paths are generally relatively easy to follow. In addition to the retired peaks, many peaks closely abut private property, please plan your hikes carefully to avoid trespassing on private land without permission. The Catskill 3500 Club is an organization whose members have climbed all peaks on the list, and also re-hiked Slide, Blackhead, Balsam, and Panther in winter. A winter-only patch is also available. The 3500 Club counts winter hikes on a calendar basis (Dec 21 - Mar 21 inclusive) unlike the Appalachian Mountain Club which uses astronomical season boundaries for the Northeast 115; carefully plan the timings of your winter ascents to get credit for both lists.

Known for their stark beauty as well as their challenge, the peaks in Colorado over 14,000 feet are one of the most well-known lists in the US. The 53 "Ranked" peaks all have at least 300' of prominence. The standard list of 58 peaks includes an additional 5 named peaks.

Colorado's 100 highest peaks with at least 300 feet of prominence: all 53 ranked fourteeners plus the 47 tallest thirteeners, down to a cutoff just above 13,800 feet. The thirteeners are where the list earns its reputation, with fewer crowds, longer approaches, and a good number of summits that have no maintained trail at all. The Standard list uses the LiDAR-based elevations adopted in the early 2020s. The Traditional list keeps the classic USGS figures. The two rosters share 96 peaks, and each includes two that the other does not.
