Reflection of Hiking my NH48

on

 On Friday, October 30, 2020, I completed my final hike for the White Mountains 48 List!


For those of you who don't know, in the New Hampshire White Mountains, there are 48 mountains that are 4,000 feet or taller. It is a challenge/accomplishment to hike all of them. There is no timetable, just you and your abilities and ambitions!

I started on August 20, 2016, hiking Mount Lafayette on a whim and at that moment I was hooked and I had no idea where this would take me. Through the next 4 years, I hiked and hiked and eventually hiked a lot! I grew in my abilities and tackled bigger and bigger mountains, longer and longer hikes. It developed into a passion of mine and I found a home in these mountains!

Now I'm not great with words but I am with numbers so here are some.

My Stats:

  • It took me 1,549 days to hike all 48 (with some repeats)
  • Seasons (Including repeats):
    • Fall: 19
    • Winter: 2
    • Spring: 6
    • Summer: 26
  • Years (Including repeats):
    • 2016: 3
    • 2017: 2
    • 2018: 7
    • 2019: 23
    • 2020: 19
  • Completed Challenges:
  • I honestly didn't track mileage or time but wish I did...I may try and go back and estimate...we'll see!
