When you say "Hiking the summits," it brings about thoughts of great peaks like Mt. Everest or the Himalayas, but there are many smaller peaks in the USA that compare in wonder, majesty and challenge.
Mountains like Mount Washington, Mount Adams and Mount Katahdin offer excitement and challenge to the advanced climbers, as well as offering the novice hiker memories to last a lifetime.
This website is dedicated to the peaks of those mighty mountains that tower along the New England states. The snowy peaks, the cairn that lead you along the path, or the pools that settle in the shallows of some quiet mountain stream only allowed to be seen by those who hike in.
Whether you're in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont or the world over, hiking the Summits is the place you want to be.
Hiking in the White Mountains of the great Mt. Washington Valley of New Hampshire, is only one of the pleasures here. It is a playground for winter sports in N.H. as well as the summer traveler headed for our many other attractions. Here is a library of just a few of these great summits for hiking and backpacking in New Hampshire.
Mt. Washington, the highest peak at 6288 ft. Just under that is Mt. Adams at 5774 ft. and Mt. Jefferson at 5712 ft. Also in this panorama is Mt. Monroe and Mt. Madison.
For great family hikes with children, Mt. Major overlooking beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee in the Lakes Region, located in Alton Bay, NH. And Mt. Chocorua, located in Central NH towards Ossipee, NH.
If your sights are set on nature hikes along the Seacoast of New England, visit our blog to find the most popular trails for you and your family to visit.
Not everyone enjoys camping in tents or cabins. There are many NH Timeshares located in the White Mountain Area as well as cabin rentals and white mountain hotels. Look ahead for your White Mountain Accommodations as the area is very busy for 3 seasons, summer, fall, and winter. So visit the NH White Mountains for hiking, skiing, and leaf peeping and have the time of your life.
