Northeast 111 Hiking Challenge
The tallest peaks in the Northeast, one summit at a time.
Welcome to Northeast 111, a journal of climbing the tallest peaks across the Adirondacks, Catskills, White Mountains, and Green Mountains.
For hikers and peakbaggers, the Northeast 111 is one of the most iconic challenges in North America. I want these peaks to read as more than a list of summits: ridgelines, forests, alpine zones, and the wilderness that holds them.
More than a list of summits.
What is the Northeast 111?
The original list is 111 peaks over 4,000 feet in New York and New England.
An updated list, the Northeast 115, adds four peaks recognized later that sit just under 4,000 feet. That is the list I am hiking.
These mountains are spread across:
- Adirondack Mountains in New York
- Catskill Mountains in New York
- White Mountains in New Hampshire
- Green Mountains in Vermont
- Maine high peaks
My Goal
I started this site to document my progress climbing all 111 mountains — and the extra four — with trip reports, trail notes, gear, and photographs along the way.
Whether you are researching a specific peak or just like reading about days in the woods, you will find real conditions and notes from the trail here.
Why hike the Northeast 111?
- Experience the highest peaks of the Northeast
- Explore four mountain ranges with distinct character
- Join a community of hikers and peakbaggers
- Push yourself on one of the region’s great challenges
Whether you are a seasoned peakbagger or just curious about the Northeast 111, follow along as I work toward this goal, one summit at a time.
