Official 52 With A View List

In 1990, a group of dedicated Over the Hill Hikers formulated a list of some of the most rewarding view hikes in New Hampshire, on peaks with elevations below 4,000 feet.  When combined with the 4000 footers, this list represented what the OTHH's considered the best 100 hikes in our mountains.  Thus the "52 With a View" list was born.  

The Over the Hill Hikers are the official keepers of the list, and have inspired many books, social media groups, and printings.  We recently updated the list in June 2025, and plan to review the list for updates about every 5-10 years.
