| Mountain | Height | Date | Comments | |
|---|
| Mt. Washington | 6288 | 4/28/91 | Actually, this was the second of three ascents; I don't remember the date of the first. This ascent was part of a three-day spring backpacking trip with Phill, my hiking partner. It was done without appropriate clothing or equipment, and we were lucky. | |
| Mt. Hancock | 4403 | 7/4/91 | Part of a three-day backpacking trip with my wife Elisa and my sons, Matt & Adam. Both this peak and the one below are treed on the summit, and offer little opportunity for views. | |

| Mt. Monroe | 5384 | 8/25/94 | Day hike with Joe DiFranza, including summiting Mt. Washington for the 3rd time. | |
| Mt. Jefferson | 5712 | 9/25/94 | Solo 3-day backpacking trip in the fall of 1994; summited all three northern presidentials on the same day. Visibility along the ridgeline was usually less than 50 feet, weather was extremely marginal. | |

| Mt. Lincoln | 5089 | 10/29/94 | Summited this peak and Mt. Lafayette on a day hike with Phill; the weather was spectacular. | |

| Galehead | 4024 | 7/2/96 | Three-day hike which included summiting five other 4,000 footers, all listed below. A great hike with sometimes marginal weather. |
| South Twin | 4902 | 7/3/96 | The first summit reached on day two of the hike described in the Galehead entry above. The high point (altitude-wise) of our hike.The view from the summit is breathtaking. |
| Zealand | 4260 | 7/3/96 | The second summit reached on day two of the hike described in the Galehead entry above. The summit is treed, and offers no decent view. |

| Bondcliff | 4265 | 7/4/96 | The third summit reached on day three of the hike described in the Galehead entry above. Bondcliff has some incredible views, as well as some great cliffs. Best area of hike, even though iffy weather decreased visibility somewhat. |
| Mt. Jackson | 4052 | 9/7/96 | An early fall, overnight weekend backpacking trip with Phill and Adam. The weather was great on day one, but the edge of the remnants of Hurricane Fran made day two a windy, wet, low visibility mess. Summitted four 4,000 footers on this trip, including Mt. Monroe, which I have summitted before. |

| Mt. Tom | 4047 | 10/22/97 | The first summit reached on a mid-week solo dayhike in late October of 1997. It snowed throughout the day, and at higher elevations, the snow accumulated to a depth of 1-2 inches. The trails were relatively empty (I only passed two groups of two hikers all day), and the hike was quite pleasant. Despite the weather, I ran into two fat Canadian Jays on the way down from the summit of Mt. Tom. |
| Mt. Field | 4326 | 10/22/97 | The second summit reached on the hike described in the Mt. Tom entry above. On the way down Mt. Field (travelling south on the Willey Range Trail), I stopped and watched a woodpecker at work on a large tree trunk a few yards off trail. |
| Mt. Willey | 4302 | 10/22/97 | The third summit reached on the hike described in the Mt. Tom entry above. |
| Mt. Carrigain | 4680 | 8/23/98 | Overnighter with my two sons. We did a loop hike of Mt. Carrigain via a portion of Signal Ridge Trail, then Carrigain Notch Trail, Desolation Trail, and back on Signal Ridge Trail. The view from the observation deck on the summit of Carrigain was spectacular. | |
| Wildcat D | 4050 | 9/29/98 | An early fall dayhike over the Wildcats via Wildcat Ridge Trail and Nineteen Mile Brook Trail. The weather was perfect (I took a Tuesday off from work based on a good weather report), but the trail was a real butt buster. |
| Wildcat | 4422 | 9/29/98 | The second summit reached on the dayhike described in the Wildcat D entry above. |
| Mt. Isolation | 4005 | 10/4/98 | An overnighter with Phil, my hiking partner. We summitted Mt. Isolation in time to catch sunrise, and were able to watch the eastern slope of Mt. Washington turn pink as the snow on its upper reaches reflected the morning sunlight. |
| North Twin | 4761 | 12/7/98 | The night before, the weather forecast for Boston was for temperatures in excess of 70 degrees. I decided to head north for a late, late fall attempt at summitting North Twin. As recommended, I bushwacked along the stream to avoid the first two crossings. The third crossing was the most difficult I have encountered. I started seeing snow at around 2,500 feet, and by the time I reached 4,000 feet, I was basically post-holing. The summit was clouded over, with no views, and by the time I got back down to my car, I was hiking in darkness. |
| Mt. Hale | 4054 | 9/11/99 | My wife accompanied me on this outing, a dayhike along Hale Brook Trail to the summit of Mt. Hale. The weather was everything a September hiker could ask for: blue skies, crisp air, and comfortable temperatures. |
| Mt. Cabot | 4170 | 9/19/99 | A solo hike up Mt. Cabot trail on a warm, late summer (early fall??) day. With only one exception, everyone I met on the trail was working on their 4,000 footer list. It seemed like some sort of club, sort of. |
| Owl's Head | 4025 | 10/02/99 | Phil and I spent a fall weekend on the array of wet trails and tough river crossings that lead to Owl's Head, my forty-sixth 4,000 footer. |
| Mt. Waumbek | 4006 | 10/22/99 | On October 22 I summited Mt. Waumbek on a solo day-hike, my 47th (and second-to-last) 4,000 footer. |
| Cannon Mountain | 4100 | 10/30/99 | Phil and I summited Cannon Mountain, my last 4,000 footer in New Hampshire, on a blustery, late fall day. |
| Mt. Mansfield | 4393 | 9/18/03 | I took a vacation day on a Wednesday in mid September and drove 166 miles each way to hike the long trail up to the summit of Mansfield (The Chin). The view was great, but looking West and seeing Lake Champlain in the foreground with The Adirondacks in the distance was particularly beautiful. |
| Mt. Abraham | 4006 | 10/11/03 | Another great fall weekend with a great fall hike. At the summit, the sky was filled with gliders--a beautiful sight. |
