Hikes With a View

Here are a few hikes to some New Hampshire summits that are on the 52 With a View list. I hiked this list in the summer of 2021 but at the time I wasn’t activating SOTA peaks.

Most of the summits on the list have a great view, some don’t and some are absolutely stunning. If you complete all the hikes on the list you earn a patch.

If I have missed any please let me know so I can update the list.

I didn’t see some familiar SOTA summits on the list. Now I realize that the criteria is elevation LESS THAN 4,000 feet in New Hampshire !!
Stay well & 73!

Thanks for the list, Fred! Love those NH 2 and 4 pointers for winter bonus!

Hi Mike,
I believe the 52 With a View list is intended to get hikers out to some of New Hampshire’s not so well traveled places. These hikes are in addition to the ones on the NH48 and were intended to attract hikers away from the high peaks.
I believe they are all between 2500 and 4000 feet but don’t let that fool you. I thought some of them were more difficult then hikes on the NH48. A couple are on the Terrifying 25 list and really earn their reputation.

Hi JB,
These were a lot of fun hikes. It’s to bad more of them don’t meet SOTA criteria.

Hi Erik,

You probably have already looked at the map but just in case you haven’t look at Mount Belknap W1/NL-002 and Pine Mountain W1/NL-022. Two easy one point hikes in the Lakes Region. I’m not sure about my schedule for Wednesday but if I get out I’ll listen for you. Let me know what you decide to do.

BTW, I’m not sure if the road to Mount Belknap is open but if not it’s still an easy hike.

Fred thanks for info! I was able to activate both Belknap.and Pine Mtn. The weather as you know was spectacular the last two days.

From Belknap around sunset I was able to reach Belgium and Poland with my SW3B and 11v battery


NH is a hidden gem of America.

Outstanding, glad to hear you got out. Sorry I missed you. My grandson graduated high school Thursday so I didn’t have a chance to get on.
Looked like a perfect evening to be on Belknap. Pine is a fun hike too.
