Tony Federer Completes 50 Year Quest To Hike Every Trail In New Hampshire’s White Mountains

November 7, 2008

Stamina, determination, and sheer will helped lead Tony Federer to accomplish an amazing 50 year journey to hike every trail in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. His quest began in the 1940’s, when Federer first began keeping track of his hikes. His guide was a 600-page volumn of the Appalachian Mountain Club’s White Mountain Guide. For the next 50+ years, Tony Federer would complete more than 1,400 miles of trails and lay claim to being only the third person to ever finish this quest.

Congrats, Tony, on sticking with it and completing your journey!

It is not known what the future holds for Tony, but he tells WMUR Channel 9 (New Hampshire) that he still has plenty of hikes left in him. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with for his next feat.
