New Hampshire 52 With A View
Created by the Over the Hill Hikers of Sandwich, New Hampshire, the New Hampshire 52 with a view (52 WAV) is a hiking list made up of fifty-two mountains that are under 4,000 feet that offer great views.
Members of the Over the Hill Hikers (formed in 1979) grew tired of hiking the 4,000 footer hiking list, so in the 1990s they created the 52 with a view list. After completing this peakbagging list, hikers can apply for a patch through the Over the Hill Hikers group.

Two social media groups are very helpful when researching the hiking routes to the mountains on the 52 With A View hiking list. Many of the hikers in these two groups have hiked the list numerous times and are very knowledgeable.
