List of New England Fifty Finest
The New England Fifty Finest is a list of mountains in New England, used in the mountaineering sport of peak bagging. The list comprises the fifty one summits with the highest topographic prominence — a peak's height above the lowest contour which encloses that peak and no higher peak. The list includes twenty peaks in Maine, fifteen in Vermont, fourteen in New Hampshire, and one in Massachusetts.
This list differs substantially from lists of peaks by elevation, such as the New England 4000 Footers. For instance, Mount Washington, the highest peak in New Hampshire's Presidential Range, has an elevation above sea level of . It has a prominence of about , because it stands that high above its key col — the lowest ground on the ridge line connecting Washington to the higher peaks of the southern Appalachian Mountains. Washington's key col happens to be at the Champlain Canal in New York, the lowest ground on the water divide between the watersheds of the Hudson and Saint Lawrence Rivers. ''None'' of the other peaks of the Presidential Range are on this list because, while several have elevations above , none has a prominence of even , because they are connected to Washington by ridge lines that are nowhere below .
Of the 48 New Hampshire Four-thousand Footers, only eight are also on this list, including Mount Lafayette and Carter Dome, which are the high points of the Franconia Range and the Carter-Moriah Range, respectively. On the other hand, the list includes several monadnocks, including the eponymous Mount Monadnock, and the high points of several small mountain ranges which have high prominence by virtue of their isolation from higher peaks by surrounding low ground.
