New Hampshire offers climbers 48 mountains that rise higher than 4,000 feet (1,219 meters). Here is a complete listing of all the Four-Thousanders, their elevations, and their mountain ranges. All of the mountains are in White Mountain National Forest and in Coos and Grafton counties in northern New Hampshire.
Most of the summits lie within the White Mountains, a sprawling glaciated range that covers almost 30% of New Hampshire and is further divided into many smaller ranges. The White Mountains, part of the long north-south Appalachian Mountains, are the most rugged as well as the highest range in New England.
The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) maintains the official list of New England 4,000-foot peaks in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. Like elsewhere, the criterion that determines what is a separate peak is debateable. The AMC deems that the prominence or the vertical distance between one summit and the nearest low point to another summit must be at least 200 feet. This differs, for instance, from Colorado where the prominence must be 300 feet.
