The New Hampshire T3000 List
by
Eric Savage
to go beyond the New Hampshire 4000-Footers
Here is a list for those who would like a list beyond the 4000-footers but
are not crazy enough to do all the bushwhacking required for the New
Hampshire 3000-footers. It is a list of all 3000-footers that have trails
(the T in T3000). I created this list myself. There is no official
recognition but I would love to hear from anyone who has completed
it or is near completion.
To be included on the list a peak must satisfy the following criteria:
- The elevation is greater than or equal to 3000 feet
- The peak is reached (or very nearly reached) by a reasonable trail
or herd path or is easily accessible via a spur path, open ledges, etc.
- The peak rises 100 feet above the ridge connecting it to a higher
neighbor OR rises 40 feet and has an official or generally accepted name
This list is admittedly subjective due especially to the reasons listed
below but I welcome any suggestions for additions (or deletions?) from
the list.
- What is a reasonable trail? Clearly any officially maintained
trail qualifies. Some peaks on the list are reached by herd paths that
are easy enough to follow. Some peaks are not listed because of the
dubious legal status (and future maintenance) of the herd path.
- I may be unaware of a generally accepted name for a peak with no
official (USGS) name.
- It is also very possible that I am unaware of a trail leading to a
peak that would otherwise qualify - I especially welcome those
corrections.
