Granite is an encyclopedia of the 48 peaks on the New Hampshire four-thousand-foot list - the mountains that define the White Mountain landscape and have drawn hikers, climbers, and naturalists for more than two centuries. Each entry goes beyond the trailhead. Granite covers the geology that shaped each summit, the history embedded in its name, the ecology of its alpine and subalpine zones, and the live weather forecast pulled directly from the National Weather Service. This is a reference app built for people who want to understand the mountains they are standing on - or planning to stand on. Mount Washington is available free. All 48 peaks are unlocked with a single one-time purchase. No subscription. No recurring charges. Buy it once and it's yours. WHAT'S INSIDE EACH ENTRY * Summit elevation, prominence, and coordinates from USGS 3DEP LiDAR data * Geological profile - bedrock type, glacial history, how the summit took its shape * Name history - the origin of every peak name * Ecological notes on treeline, krummholz, and alpine plant communities * Live summit forecast updated hourly via the NWS gridded forecast API * Higher Summits Forecast for Presidential Range peaks, issued by Mount Washington Observatory meteorologists twice daily * Selected trail access and route overviews SUMMIT SEALS Mark a peak as climbed and earn a summit seal - bronze, silver, or gold - recorded privately on your device. The first sixteen summits result in a bronze seal, the next sixteen makes them silver, and once you start on the final sixteen they all turn gold. The order doesn't matter. Your records never leave your phone. THE PRESIDENTIAL RANGE All nine Presidential peaks are included - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Eisenhower, Pierce, Jackson, and Clay - with full entries for each. The Observatory's Higher Summits Forecast appears on every Presidential entry, giving you the same professional forecast that guides decisions on the most exposed ridge in the northeastern United States. THE SANDWICH RANGE, CARTER-MORIAH RANGE, AND BEYOND Granite covers all 48 peaks across every range in the White Mountains - from the remote summits of the Pemigewasset Wilderness to the Sandwich Range peaks that rise above the Swift River Valley. Peaks with limited trail access and infrequently climbed summits receive the same depth of coverage as the well-traveled Presidential giants. BUILT FOR THE MOUNTAINS Granite was designed and written for people who take these peaks seriously. The entries are substantive. The data sources are primary. The weather is live. There are no ads, no tracking, and no data is collected from your device. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Unlock All 48 | $2.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.7 — 2026-09-05 Mount Washington Deep Dive, for unlocked users. Two entries: The Cog Railway gets its own in-depth entry - Sylvester Marsh's original rack-and-pinion climb, Peppersass's first ascent in 1869, and the complete locomotive roster from steam to biodiesel. Alongside it, a chronology of the mountain itself from 1524 to the Present. Faster map loading. Topographic and shaded relief views now cache to your device, so they load instantly on repeat visits instead of re-downloading the same terrain data every time. ### 1.6 — 2026-08-04 Turns out hikers checking summit weather at 5AM don't want to read about Precambrian geology first. At a Glance stats and the forecast are now the first things you see. The map is collapsible too - tap the icon in the top right if you'd like it out of your way. Want a feature added or found a bug? Send an email to info@dawsonstories.com. ### 1.5 — 2026-07-28 Turns out hikers have been summiting peaks long before they downloaded this app. You can now tap the Summited cell on any peak to record the exact date you reached the summit - past or present - and update or remove it at any time. Your summit log is also now backed up automatically via iCloud and syncs across your devices. This feature update came directly as a result of a user email. Thank you for writing in - feedback like that shapes what gets built. ### 1.4 — 2026-07-08 Tweaked some verbiage in the description slightly. ### 1.3 — 2026-07-03 Fixed some bugs that were accidentally introduced when I did the previous update. I also made some minor UI tweaks. What this really means is that there are less bugs out there to bother you while you're out hiking, even if its somewhere besides the NH48. Enjoy the outdoors this summer! ## More apps by Raymond Verrier - [DryWeather](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dryweather/id6759182323) - [Not Punny PRO](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/not-punny-pro/id6759263135) - [The Experiment: US History](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-experiment-us-history/id6760737147) - [Signal: Observatory Archive](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/signal-observatory-archive/id6760983406) - [Not Punny](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/not-punny/id6761694940) All apps by Raymond Verrier: https://appshunter.io/developer/1877241929 ## Related topics [white mountains](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/white-mountains) · [granite](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/granite) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
