Nippletop (4620 feet) 14. Santanoni Peak (4607 feet) 15. Mount Redfield (4507 feet) 16. Wright Peak (4580 feet) 17. Saddleback Mountain (4515 feet) 18. Panther (4442 feet) 19. Tabletop Mountain (4427 feet) 20. Rocky Peak Ridge (4420 feet) 21. Macomb Mountain (4405 feet) 22. Armstrong Mountain (4400 feet) 23. Hough Peak (4400 feet) 24. Seward Mountain (4361 feet) 25. Mount Marshall (4360 feet) 26. Allen Mountain (4340 feet) 27. Big Slide Mountain (4240 feet) 28. Esther Mountain (4240 feet) 29. Upper Wolfjaw (4185 feet) 30. Lower Wolfjaw (4175 feet) 31. Street Mountain (4166 feet) 32. Phelps Mountain (4161 feet) 33. Mount Donaldson (4140 feet) 34. Seymour Mountain (4120) feet 35. Sawteeth (4100 feet) 36. Cascade Mountain (4098 feet) 37.

Cliff Mountain (3960 feet) 45. Nye Mountain (3895 feet) 46. Couchsachraga Peak (3820 feet)
I've done most of them in the summer, and about half in the winter. Haven't qualified for a 46'r since I haven't made it a few of them in either season.
personal favorites:
easy hike: cascade and porter... 2 peaks in 8 hours. medium level: the dix range. Dix, South Dix, Macomb, Hough. This is a full day. The three times I have been in there during the summer, only once could I find the registry canister on top of macomb. hard: the gothics(with upper and lower wolfjaw) . this one sucked balls... did it in the winter. there were sections where you had to climb ladders on the rocks.

Oh man, the northeast is awesome. Someday I want to hike up the AT. The hills and mountains are breathtaking in some parts that I've hiked through. You're really lucky to live so close to those places.

I've said it before...I don't care if you are going from 8,000ft to 11,000ft or from 2,000ft to 5,000ft...a 3,000 foot elevation gain is a good hike no matter where you do it!!
And yes, thems some purdy spots you got there!

Those are some pretty cool pics.. It is pretty out here, but what sucks is that the north east is so damn cold! I have been out west and in the pnw which always seems so much warmer - even in the winter.. the weather seems much better. Here at home I have become used to freezing my ass off, even in the valley it is freezing.

this winter has been freakishly warm... its above 40 right now, and it should be in the middle of the Jan freeze when it stays under -10F for more than 3 weeks....

But when you get crazy weather systems coming in off the Great Lakes, you NE'ers get pounded. I see it on the news all the time.

True... but why ask why we are having such a warm spell? In fact what am I doing inside? I'm suddenly inspired take a walk in the reservoir nearby. Later dudes

Good point - today it was raining and there was a nice thick fog over everything.. the woods especially looked cool and creepy. I love it when things look this foggy.
