If you are looking for a specific team to join, click here to search.
STEP 2: PLAN YOUR HIKE
As you register, you'll add in your hiking plans whether it's a 4k, a choose your own adventure, or undecided. Don't know where you want to hike yet? No worries, put undecided for now and we can always change that later.
Help us cover all 48 4,000 footers or choose whatever peak you want! We want everyone to hike somewhere they're comfortable, so it's okay if we have more than one team on each peak! If you're interested in doing a traverse, or a 52 with a view, or any other creative challenge, check out the Create Your Own option..
STEP 3: INVITE FAMILY & FRIENDS
Invite friends and family to join your team by sharing your team page link!
Have as little or as many team members as you want. If you do have more than 10 people, we just recommend having two groups spaced out about 15 minutes or so per WMNF rules.
Step 4: RAISE MONEY TO #ENDALZ!
Personalize your fundraising page with pictures and your connection to the cause then share the link with family & friends via social media, emails and texts!
Unlock fun prizes as you go!
Hike a 4,000 footer for 48 Peaks!
Hike the 48 4,000 footers of New Hampshire! Our goal is to have at least one team on each of the 48 4,000 footers and beyond!
Create your own team or join an existing one! Your hike can take place any time that works for you and your team, but most teams hike in June or July. We will be hosting a Hiker Celebration on Saturday, June 13th at Ledge Brewing if you want to plan your hike around this date but hike whenever is best for you and your team.
That being said, safety is our #1 priority with this event, so we ask that you hike on the day that has the best weather and works for your team. Check out this great website to learn more about each 4,000-footer, elevation, and difficulty.
