I completed hiking the NH 4K list on March 09,2013.  17 months after my first NH 4k  hike which hooked me.
Some of the stats and highlights of these hike are:

  • 4 overnight AMC Hut Hikes: Zealand - 2 peaks, Galehead - 4 peaks, Carter Notch (off season) - 4 peaks
  • 1 overnight (3 peaks - Bonds)  done at AMC campsite in the lean-to.
  • 1 overnight backpack with tent just off  the trail in snow. - Hancocks
  • 1 overnight spent at AMC Highland Center bunkroom. (Moriah ?)
  • 8 peaks (3 trips, 2 hut hikes) done with my grandson Kris - all others were solo.
