New England Fifty Finest
Encyclopedia
The New England Fifty Finest is a list of mountain
s in New England
, used in the mountaineering
sport of peak bagging
.
The list comprises the fifty summits with the highest topographic prominence
— a peak's height above the lowest contour which encloses that peak and no higher peak.
This list differs substantially from lists of peaks by elevation, such as the New England 4000 Footers
.
For instance, Mount Washington
, the highest peak in New Hampshire
's Presidential Range
, has an elevation
above sea level
of 6,288 feet (1,917 metres).
It has a prominence of about 6,150 ft (1,875 m), because it stands that high above its key col — the lowest ground on the ridge line connecting Washington to the higher peaks of the southern Appalachian Mountains
.
Washington's key col happens to be at the Champlain Canal
in New York
, the lowest ground on the water divide
between the watershed
s of the Hudson
and Saint Lawrence River
s.
None of the other peaks of the Presidential Range are on this list because, while several have elevations above 5,000 ft (1,520 m), none have prominences of even 1,000 ft (300 m), because they are connected to Washington by ridge lines that are nowhere below 4,900 ft (1,490 m).
Of the 48 New Hampshire Four-thousand Footers, only eight are also on this list, including Mount Lafayette and Carter Dome — the high points of the Franconia Range
and Carter-Moriah Range
respectively.
On the other hand, the list includes several monadnock
s, including the eponymous Mount Monadnock
, and the high points of several small mountain ranges — mountains which have high prominence by virtue of their isolation from higher peaks by surrounding low ground.
The list includes 15 peaks in Vermont
, 14 in New Hampshire
, 20 in Maine
, and Mount Greylock
in Massachusetts
