Hiking the 48

The White Mountain National Forest is home to 48 peaks over 4,000 feet in elevation. With heights ranging from 4003' to 6288', these New Hampshire peaks are known for their steepness, rocky terrain and impressive views. Randy's goal is to hike all 48 by the year 2020.

Our last hike: Mt. Tecumseh

At 4003 feet, Mt. Tecumseh is one of the smallest peaks in the White Mountains. We climbed this one as our last hike of the 2011 season, amid the beautiful New England autumn foliage.

A note from Randy

Welcome to the adventure!
