Northeast 111
Encyclopedia
The Northeast 111 is a peak-bagging
list of 4000-foot (1219.2-m) mountains in the northeastern states
of the United States. It includes the sixty-seven 4000-footers of New England
(48 in New Hampshire
, 14 in Maine
and 5 in Vermont
), the 46 Adirondack High Peaks, and Slide and Hunter Mountain
, both in the Catskills of New York.
This list includes 115 peaks but is still referred to as the "Northeast 111" because that name predates the additions of Galehead Mountain
and Bondcliff in New Hampshire, as well as Mount Redington
and Spaulding Mountain
in Maine, due to later surveys determining they do indeed rise to 4000 feet and satisfy topographic prominence
requirements.
