4000-footers

In general knowledge, "4000-footers" typically refers to mountains or peaks that rise at least 4,000 feet (about 1,219 meters) above sea level. This term is often used in hiking and climbing communities, particularly in regions like the Northeastern United States, where enthusiasts set challenges to climb all the mountains in that elevation range. The appeal lies in the physical challenge, the scenic views, and the accomplishment of summiting each peak. The term can also signify a well-defined group of mountains that are often cataloged for climbing enthusiasts.
