List of New England Hundred Highest facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The New England Hundred Highest is a special list. It names the one hundred tallest mountain peaks in New England. This list is important for a fun outdoor hobby called peak bagging. Peak bagging is when people try to climb many different mountains.

To be on this list, a mountain must be very tall. It also needs to "stand out" enough from other mountains around it. This is called topographic prominence. It means the mountain's summit must rise at least 200 feet (about 61 meters) above the lowest point connecting it to any higher peak. This makes sure each mountain on the list is a unique, important summit.

This list includes all the mountains from the New England Four-thousand footers list. The heights and order of the mountains come from the official list: http://www.amc4000footer.org/newenglandhundredhighest.html. Other groups might have slightly different numbers.
