See Post# 64 “If the tower does not obstruct the view, i.e. you can move your head to see around it then I think it should count. The same should go for a tree. But if you have to move other then in a circle to get the view then it is obstructed.” In a circle means turning while standing in one...

Nice! Thanks for the link sardog1. And thank you Mike Dickerman. :D

I have updated the list (in post# 1). I also tried to put them in a better order for easier reading. Corrections and additions are continued to be accepted. Thanks everyone who has shown interest. I hope it gives some ideas for some great hikes. I’m up for including bushwhacks if they lead to a...

Not a lot of details but I'm glad he is safe. WMUR link

I received this in an email (from Steve Smith). I'll let others comment and I'll update the list (post #1) later when I have time. "That 360 view list is a neat idea. Were you intending to include peaks with trails only? If bushwhack summits were included it would certainly expand the list, but...

I’ll be the bad guy (gal :)) and add a controversial view. While I will definitely agree that hiking is a great activity mentally and physically, and walking in the woods beats walking in a mall any day, I don’t think hiking in itself makes one healthier. There’s more needed on a day to day...

I did not know Shin, but my heart goes out to those who did. My sincerest condolences to his loved ones.

I have updated the list based with this added input and am editing post #1 so it is easier to look at the list and corrections. I seem to recall differently - I don't think you can see south - but if someone has pictures of this or any other to help verify peaks it would be great. Some I have...

This is a list of the nominated peaks so far with clarification of the rules (so far). Additions or corrections are still being accepted. :) New Hampshire: (43) Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Clay, Monroe, Franklin, Eisenhower, Hight, South Twin, Guyot, West Bond, Bond, Bondcliff, Garfield...

Actually, I only have two stickers, but couldn't decide what to do with one. The bottle won. Now...where to put the other?? :)

Although there was another thread on this it was apparently deleted so I'm adding the news report here.

Clouds are view, too, especially when you can lay back and watch images take shape. And while it is a special treat to summit when everything below you is in the clouds, and you feel like you’re on an island, I think you owe it to yourself to return on a clear day. The spirit of the list is not...

I can't decide :confused:

I should have known :) . Added. How about the “360 Summits” list. They can be done by State (360 Summits of NH, etc.). I will add that they can be done by any means legally available. Most will prefer to hike on foot but if you want to parachute to the summit and use a sled to descend it that...

Obviously, to have the VFTT name on a list or patch it would need Darren’s approval and with a patch of his own in the plan that is unlikely. I don’t recall South Percy being 360. Nubble is added but Owl (north of Martha) I removed if it is not 360 from one spot on the summit. The idea of...

Tough crowd, but why am I not surprised. :rolleyes: I don’t see prominence nor an established trail as necessary. Are there any named peaks with a 360 view without an established trail? I left off Mt. Washington because I think there are buildings in the way of the view, IIRC. But I would add...

(Carole) Original rule is 'peak' with a name. I don’t recall Piper being 360 (nor Crawford for that matter). Pictures may help. I don’t envision a number so much as a 360 view on the day one summits.

I don't see a minimum height as an issue- adds much more to the variety. 52 WAV is not 360, some barely have a view such as Paugus, which the true summit has none. I didn’t add Mt. Major at first but as I confirmed this morning it does have a 360 but growth may change that in a few years. I...

How about a new list? VFTT (360?) (New England peaks? Or Northeast peaks?) Rules: Must have an unobstructed 360 degree view (no towers or trees to climb) Must be a named peak Must be climbed on a clear day to capture the view Edited to post the updated list and clarified rules: (additions...

Thanks for your replies GlennS and ADK88. I did some more searching after my post and found info on the Bota Outback also found some comments about them in a couple previous posts. STP has them for $7.95, so I'll give them a try.
