Once you finish hiking the White Mountain 4000 footers, what list can you tackle next? While there are a lot of peakbagging lists across the White Mountains and New England to choose from, one of the hardest is Redlining the AMC White Mountain Guide. The goal of redlining is to …

The Randolph Mountain Club (RMC) manages about 100 miles of trails in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, including the major routes to the Northern Presidentials, trails connecting the club’s four camps, scenic paths on the lower slopes, and trails in the Crescent Range near the towns of Jefferson and …

If you found hiking the White Mountain 4000 footer peakbagging list easy, try hiking the TrailWrights 72, which is a lot harder. The chief difference between the lists is that you can only count one peak per day on the Trailwrights list. On the White Mountain 4000 footer list, you …
