Just a little quiz. In New England we have some great hiking but one seems to be hiked alot more than any other.

Look for some pics soon on Acadia.

Gotta be Monadnock. I don't know anyone who hikes in NE that has not climbed it. - SherpaKroto

I second that, even though I haven't climbed it yet. I doing a Madison/Adams loop tomorrow. It should be an interesting day.

Monadnock, no doubt. If you have any questions, climb one of the popular routes on a nice Saturday in Summer or during foliage season.

My recommendation though would be to believe it though & then hike it on a weekday (even in winter Saturdays are a mob scene on summit) either early in AM or late in the Day. Once I get my act together, I'll be mailing Greg some pictures from a sunset hike on Monadnock this past 7/2.

It's the mountain I've climbed most (13)

In NY, it's gotta be Marcy (the highest).

I always wonder what this obsession with climbing the highest is about. The throngs of people you find there usually ruin the experience. And the trails are often eroded into a foot-deep, 5 foot-wide trench from the high traffic. UGH.

Marcy is OK, but the neighboring Algonquin, 2nd highest, is spectacular in comparison. Go figure.

Ditto. Gotta be Monadnock, which is often cited as the most-climbed mountain in the world along with Mt. Fuji. And on a weekend day in the summer -- I sure can believe it! Still one of my favorite peaks though, a true, traditional New England-style mountain.

I would say Mt. Washington, NH, and second place might be Mt. Katahdin, ME.

Seeing as Washington and Monadnock are already listed here, I'll take a stab at Mt. Greylock in the Berkshires. I went once and it was so crowded you had to literally walk around and step over all the people sunning themselves on the summit in order to reach the lodge. It was like being on a beach.
