Hiking The SummitsWhen 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 danger, just as the great ones. Mountains like Mount Washington, Mount Adams, and Mount Katahdin offer excitement and challenge to the advanced climbers, as well as offering the novice hiker some tails to talk about for 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 quite 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. These are a few mountains for hiking to consider when visiting the Presidential Range.
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 in the Lakes Region, located in Alton Bay, NH. And Mt. Chocorua, located in Central NH towards Ossipee, NH.
While we are under construction we will be hiking those peaks, taking pictures and presenting the information to you. So look for us in the future, and while you're waiting to hike the summits, enjoy us at the Lakes Region or the Seacoast. We're all about the four seasons and the many amenities living in New England can offer.
