New Hampshire 52 With A View – Created by the Over the Hill Hikers (OTHH) of Sandwich, NH, the New Hampshire 52 with a view is a hiking list consisting of fifty-two mountains under 4,000 feet that have awesome views; until the most recent revision of the list in spring 2020, a mountain also had to be over 2,500 feet, but this requirement seems to have been relaxed. Hikers can apply for a patch through the Over the Hill Hikers after completing the list.
Over the Hill Hikers came to be in 1979; it started off as just a group of friends hiking together. Then, a few years later, Elizabeth "Lib" Bates and her husband Charles Crooker organized the group. And the popularity of the group continued to grow throughout the years. In the early 1990s (1991), members of the hiking group got tired of hiking the 4,000 footer hiking list, which consists of 48 mountains, so they created the 52 with a view list. The group believed that the combination of the two hiking lists offered the best 100 hikes. Today, this group hikes on a regular schedule and is more popular than ever.
For 16 years, "Lib" Bates was the Den Mother of the Over the Hill Hikers. She passed away on October 11, 2011, at the age of 92. Her father was Milton “Red Mac” MacGregor (1884-1976), the first caretaker of Carter Notch Hut. He was also the first manager of the Appalachian Mountain Club's hut system, overseeing Carter, Lakes of the Clouds, and Madison Spring huts from 1921 to 1927. Some believe that his ghost visits Carter Notch Hut from time to time.
One of the requirements for a mountain to be on the list is that it must have a view. Because views change for various reasons, such as tree growth, the list has been revised a few times over the years. And it may need to be revised again in the future.
Revisions:
- Carr Mountain was removed in 2001 and replaced with Black Mountain (Jackson).
- Mount Wolf was removed in 2010 and replaced with Mount Roberts.
- In May 2020, five mountains: Black Mountain in Jackson, Iron Mountain, Square Ledge, Hibbard Mountain, and West Royce Mountain were removed from the hiking list, and five mountains: Morgan, Percival, Pine Mountain, Roger's Ledge, and Table Mountain were added to this hiking list.
If hiking for the patch, hikers can hike any combination of the current peaks and delisted peaks, it just needs to total 52. Many hikers hike them all.
When it comes to researching these hikes, New Hampshire maps are the best resource. And in the 21st century, internet-savvy hikers will find an abundance of information about these hikes online. However, maps are always the best option.
Keeping track of these hikes can be done with the New Hampshire 52 With a View Passport. A book was also published in 2011 about this group: Over the Hill Hikers: And How They Grew…and Grew…and Grew by Shirley Elder Lyons.
The mountains on this list are rich with history. Below are the 52 current mountains (as of September 2022), and the 7 delisted ones, on the New Hampshire 52 with a View list. Included are random tidbits of history about each mountain.
New Hampshire 52 With A View
(Current List, September 2022)
| Mountain | Elevation (feet) | Status | History Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandwich Dome | 3,992 | On List | The original name of Sandwich Dome was Black Mountain. Geographer Arnold Guyot is responsible for the name being changed to Sandwich Dome. This mountain is also known as Sandwich Mountain. |

| Shelburne Moriah Mountain | 3,743 | On List | The northernmost peak in the Carter-Moriah Range. Great views. The name comes from the mountains proximity to the town of Shelburne. The origin of “Moriah” is not straight forward, but the legend has become the accepted belief. Legend has it that an early setter in the area familiar with the bible gave this name to Mount Moriah. Mount Moriah is a mountain in Jerusalem where Solomon built the temple. |
| Sugarloaf (Stratford) | 3,703 | On List | Sugarloaf is a common name used for mountains dating backing many years. The term sugarloaf comes from the early sugar making industry. Mountains given this name are said to have a shape similar to the cone-shaped “loaves” (sugarloaves) in which sugar was sold during the early years. |
| North Baldface Mountain | 3,597 | On List | Both North and South Baldface Mountain were likely named for their treeless summits; likely the result of fires in the 1800s. On August 2, 1982, a single- engine Piper Cherokee (N5566F) encountered bad weather and crashed just below the summit of North Badlface Mountain. The pilot was killed on impact, but the one female passenger survived. Many hike South and North Baldface in one hike. |
| Mount Success | 3,592 | On List | Located in the Mahoosuc Range, this mountain is named for the town it is in, Success, New Hampshire. On November 30, 1954, Northeast Airlines, Flight 792 (N17891) crashed into the southern slope of Mount Success. All seven people onboard survived the initial crash, but while waiting to be rescued, two crew members died from injuries that they sustained in the crash. Poor weather conditions made search and rescue efforts difficult, and the remaining five survivors were not rescued until the plane wreckage was located on December 2, 1954. "This crash site is a very special place where lives were lost. If you decide to visit it, please honor and respect it and do your part to keep the site preserved. Take only pictures, and keep in mind, this wreckage is on federal land, and it is illegal to remove any artifact from federal land" (Donovan, 2010, Mount Success, Douglas DC-3 Plane Crash). |
| South Baldface Mountain | 3,576 | On List | Both North and South Baldface Mountain were likely named for their treeless summits; likely the result of fires in the 1800s.

The pilot was killed on impact, but the one female passenger survived. Many hike South and North Baldface in one hike. |
| Mount Martha - Cherry Mountain | 3,557 | On List | Cherry Mountain is a mountain ridge in Carroll; it was once referred to as Pondicherry Mountain. Mount Martha and Owl’s Head are two peaks on Cherry Mountain; the highest peak on the ridge is Mount Martha. The famous Cherry Mountain Slide happened on July 10, 1885. The slide began on Owl’s Head and slid down into the valley; Oscar Stanley’s farmstead was destroyed by the avalanche of debris. One of his hired workers, Donald Walker, was fatally injured in the slide. Though commonly called the Cherry Mountain Slide, its also known as the Stanley Slide. A fire tower (1939-1968) was on Mount Martha. On November 22, 1948, a plane crashed into the side of Cherry Mountain. The pilot and two passengers were killed. |
| Jennings Peak | 3,493 | On List | Named for “Captivity” Jennings - “Captivity” Jennings’ mother, Hannah (Dickinson) Gillett Jennings, along with others, were kidnapped by Indians in September 1677 and taken to Canada. “Captivity” Jennings was born on March 14, 1678, while Hannah was in captivity. Hannah, her new baby, and others would be rescued, and once a ransom was paid, she and the others returned home around June 1678. Her husband, Stephen Jennings was one of the rescuers. On March 19, 1966 a Cessna plane crashed into the side of Jennings Peak; the pilot was killed. The wreckage was not found until 6 weeks later. |
| Mount Chocorua | 3,490 | On List | Mountain is named for Chocorua, a 1700s Sokosis chief. The legend of Chocorua varies, but the one repeated most often is that he befriended a settler named Cornelius Campbell in the early 1700s. And while under the care of the Campbells, Chocorua’s son accidentally drank poison and died. Chocorua swore revenge on the family. And when Cornelius’ wife and children were found dead, Campbell chased Chocorua up the mountain (Mount Chocorua). Realizing he was going to be killed, Chocorua climbed a boulder and jumped off the mountain. Before jumping to his death, he put a curse on the white man. A fire in the 1800s burned the summit bare. The Jim Liberty Cabin on Mount Chocorua occupies the site of the Chocorua Peak House. David Knowles and Newell Forrest acquired the Peak House site in 1892 from Jim (Dutch) Liberty. They replaced the original Peak House that Jim Liberty built with a three-story Peak House. It opened to the public in 1892. And even though the Peak House was anchored to the rock with steel cables and chains, it was blown off the mountain during a windstorm in September 1915. It wasn’t rebuilt. |
| Stairs Mountain | 3,469 | On List | Located along Davis Path, this mountain consists of two ledges that look like giant steps. Completed in 1845 by Nathaniel Davis, son-in-law of Abel and Hannah Crawford, Davis Path was the third and longest bridle path built to the summit of Mount Washington. The path was in use until about 1853-1854, and then it was neglected and became unusable. In 1910, the Appalachian Mountain Club’s legendary Trail-builder Warren W. Hart (AMC’s councilor of improvements from 1908-1910), with the help of volunteers, re-opened it as a footpath. Today, the path is just over 14 miles long with most of it being within the Presidential Range – Dry River Wilderness. |
| Mount Avalon | 3,461 | On List | Mount Avalon was named by Moses F. Sweetser, a 19th-century guidebook and travel writer. He thought this mountain resembled hills in Avalon in Newfoundland, Canada. Spur of Mount Field. Limited views. |
| Mount Resolution | 3,426 | On List | It took Nathaniel Davis two tries to complete the third and longest bridle path (Davis Path) built to the summit of Mount Washington. Mount Resolution is where he started the second time. Completed in 1845 by Nathaniel Davis, son-in-law of Abel and Hannah Crawford, Davis Path was the third and longest bridle path built to the summit of Mount Washington. The path was in use until about 1853-1854, and then it was neglected and became unusable. In 1910, the Appalachian Mountain Club’s legendary Trail-builder Warren W. Hart (AMC’s councilor of improvements from 1908-1910), with the help of volunteers, re-opened it as a footpath. Today, the path is just over 14 miles long with most of it being within the Presidential Range – Dry River Wilderness. |
| Percy Peaks - North Peak | 3,415 | On List | When Stark was granted in 1774 it was originally named Percy, after Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland. But in 1832 the town was renamed Stark for General John Stark (Bunker Hill and Battle of Bennington). Percy Peaks retained the name of the original town name. |
| Magalloway Mountain | 3,385 | On List | Located in Pittsburg, the name “Magalloway” is from the Native American language, but the meaning is not exactly clear. The Native American meaning could be “the shoveler”; when looking for food in the snow, caribou use their hoofs to shovel snow to one side. The meaning could also be ”dwelling place of moose”. Interestingly, most descriptions of the Magalloway River say its name is from the Native American language meaning “large tail”. Same word, different meanings. Since 1910, a fire tower has been on this mountain. The tower has been replaced a few times. Great views from observation tower. |
| Mount Tremont | 3,384 | On List | The word “Tremont” is of French origin meaning “three mountains”; there are three peaks associated with Mount Tremont. This is the assumed origin of the name.

| Middle Sister Mountain | 3,340 | On List | Groundhouse (fire tower) on Middle Sister Mountain that operated from 1927-1948. |
| Kearsarge North | 3,269 | On List | Since at least the 1700s, this mountain has been known by two names: Mount Kearsarge and Mount Pequawket. The spelling of both names vary on old maps and in literature. And to add more confusion, New Hampshire has two mountains called Kearsarge; this one, in Carroll County, and the other in Merrimack County. In 1915, the United States Board on Geographic Names officially declared that the mountain in Merrimack County was Mount Kearsarge, and the mountain in Carroll County (this one) would be called Mount Pequawket. But people continued to call it Kearsarge, so in 1957 (wasn’t published until 1959) it was approved to change the name to “Kearsarge North”. “North” was added to help distinguish it from the Mount Kearsarge in Merrimack County. A hotel was built on the summit in the 1800s; it was blown down in the late 1800s. A fire tower is still on the summit. |
| Smarts Mountain | 3,238 | On List | Likely named for an early settler of the area. Smarts Mountain was also known as Maskoma Mountain. On September 20, 1971, a twin engine Piper Apache crashed into the side of Smart’s Mountain. Of the three on board, two survived and one died. On December 24, 1996, a Learjet (N388LS) crashed near this mountain. The wreckage wasn’t found until November 1999; this is the longest missing aircraft search in the state's history. Both pilots were killed. |
| North Moat Mountain | 3,203 | On List | The name dates to the 1700s. And its believed the name has to do with the beaver ponds (called moats) that form around beaver lodges when beavers build dams along brooks, rivers, etc. Moat Mountains burned in 1854. During the early years, misspelled as “Mote”. |
| Mount Monadnock | 3,170 | On List | Earliest recorded ascent was by Captain Samuel Willard in 1725. The bare summit is the result of early fires. |
| Imp Face | 3,165 | On List | Suppose to resemble a distorted human profile that is best seen from Dolly Copp Campground. |
| Mount Cardigan | 3,149 | On List | Located in the towns of Orange and Alexandria, fire burned over the summit in 1855 and it is the reason why the summit is bald. Name origin is likely from the original name of Orange, New Hampshire. This town was granted in 1769 to Isaac Fellows and others, under the name “Cardigan”. In 1790, the town was incorporated as Orange. A fire tower on the summit was put into operation in 1924 and it is still in use today. |
| Mount Crawford | 3,128 | On List | Named for Abel Crawford and his son Ethan Allen, early settlers of the area. The Crawford Family is forever part of White Mountains history. Some of the family’s accomplishments include the building of the famous Crawford Path and the Notch House. Crawford Path is the oldest continuously-used mountain trail in America. And for a period of time, it was used as a horse trail to Mount Washington. This eight and half mile historic path came to be in 1819 when Abel Crawford and his son, Ethan Allen, began building a trail to the summit of Mount Pierce, formerly Mount Clinton. In 1828, Ethan Allen Crawford and his father Abel Crawford built the Notch House at the Gate of the Notch. Ethan’s brother Thomas J. Crawford was the proprietor. |
| Mount Paugus | 3,100 | On List | Named by Lucy Larcom, this mountain is named for Paugus, a 1700s Pequawket Chief who was killed at the Battle of Lovewell’s Pond (Maine) in May 1725. Captain John Lovewell, who the Pequawket tribe was fighting, was also killed. The Pequawket tribe lived along the Saco River in today’s Conway, New Hampshire and Fryeburg, Maine. Mount Paugus has been known by a number of names: Berry Mountain, Deer Mountain, Middle Mountain, Hunchback Mountain, Frog Mountain, Bald Mountain, Moose Mountain, and Ragged Mountain, and Old Shag. |

| Mount Cube - South Peak | 2,916 | On List | Originally named Mount Cuba, Mount Cube is the corruption of this name. The name Cuba comes from a hunting dog that was killed while fighting a bear near the summit (Sweetser, 1876). From a geology point of view, Mount Cube is well preserved. The summit / ledges of Mount Cube consist of quartzite (white) of the Clough formation; this formation is very hard rock. The scenic Appalachian Trail travels over this mountain. |
