Does anybody know of a website that deals with peak lists all over the country/world (e.g. NH 48, ADK 46, NE 115, 5000 meter peaks)??? I like to hike in WV also as it is close to where I live and is a nice place to fill the gaps in between my trips up north, but am unable to find a list for that state.

Thanks,

Dom

thanks,

missed it somehow before! a link provided the list below

Most of the lists on americasroof.com were produced by making queries to the GNIS (Geographic Names Information System) database. As its name indicates, it is a database of named objects. So any peak without a name will not be on it. Furthermore it does not take prominence into account, so any bump which has a name is on it.

The WV list is different; Ivan Ashe derived it the old fashioned way by looking at quads. Hard work, but gives meaningful results.
