Mount Washington (6,288 ft) is the highest mountain in the northeastern United States and is known for having the worst weather. The observatory at the summit recorded the highest gust of wind of all time (200+ mph). Hiking is one option, but there is also the Mt. Washington auto road. There are also motorcoaches which will drive you to the top. In the summer, the Mt. Evans Cog railway is open as well.

Things To Do: Mount Pierce

If you're not looking for crowds or the acclaim of New Hampshire's highest peak, then Pierce is a great alternative. This is one of the smaller mountains, a mere 4000 footer that can be hiked in only a couple of hours. You will barely feel the 2000 feet of elevation gain and will have some great views of the other Southern Presidential mountains, including Washington. Best of all, the crowds are on the railway or the Mt. Washington trail, so you have a good chance of some solitude.

Mount Eisenhower is just a short distance from Pierce both in elevation and in actual walking distance. You can reach the Eisenhower summit by continuing on the well marked Crawford Path past Mount Pierce. The views get a little better as you go a bit higher too.

Things To Do: The 4000 footers

The 4000 footers are the mountains of New Hampshire, nearly 50 of them, that are 4000 feet and above. Since America is the land of the obsessive compulsive, there is a club for those who aspire to hike them all. These peaks range from gentle slopes that can barely be called summits to the top of Mount Washington, a hike that I still remember as strenuous. Whether you aspire to do one or fifty, there are plenty of trails and summits in this area to give you a workout. And, in case you're wondering, taking the Cog Railway doesn't count as a summit for 4000 footer purposes.
