including the elevation and mileage should make it easier (you may have noticed I didn't) but, it doesn't

First, find all the peaks that are +/- 100 feet from the approximate elevation on Joe's profile: Code: SELECT NAME, Elevation FROM peaks WHERE peaks.st='NH' AND ((peaks.elevation > 4400 AND peaks.elevation < 4700) OR (peaks.elevation > 4800 AND peaks.elevation < 5000)) ORDER BY elevation
results in a limited set of peaks: Code: Name Elevation Hancock 4420 Wildcat 4422 South Carter 4430 Liberty 4459 Garfield 4500 North Carter 4520 Moosilauke, South Peak 4523 Blue 4529 West Bond 4540 Adams 4 4580 Guyot 4580 Lethe 4584 Middle Carter 4610 Hight 4675 Bond 4698 Moosilauke 4802 Carter Dome 4832 South Twin 4902 Franklin 4904
Now find the highest ones - the tall one is pretty much Moosilauke, Carter Dome or South Twin. Then, what has three peaks that are close together and have approximately matching elevations? Pretty much only can be the Carters. Load up a Carters profile and voila! It was a kind of crappy day so I didn't bother with Hight, which is unusual, since I love that view. Tim

Yes. It's the Carter's. Tim's profile shows.

Can also look at like this... What hike is about 12.5 miles (more than 12, less than 13) and has 3 or more peaks? Code: SELECT COUNT(peaks.name) AS PeakCount, hikes.name AS HikeName, distance FROM hikes JOIN hikepeaks ON hikes.id = hikepeaks.hikeid JOIN peaks ON peaks.id = hikepeaks.peakid WHERE distance > 12 AND distance < 13 GROUP BY (hikes.name) HAVING COUNT(peaks.name) >= 3 ORDER BY distance
gives us: Code: PeakCount HikeName distance 3 Carters W2014 12.2 4 Washington's Birthday 2013 12.3 4 Cabot-FOT48-12 12.4 3 Carters W48 12.5 4 Carters W2012 12.6 4 Carters Nov-2012 12.6 3 Bigelows Horn, West and Avery 12.7 6 Lafayette-Lincoln-Liberty-Flume W2014 12.8
Carters (+Hight in most cases) comes up pretty often  Tim

Tims reasoning is what was going through my head but I've never made a GPS track in my life so has nothing to go on. May explain why I am worse at this game than the picture guessing one if that's possible.

If each of those bars is three hundred feet like it seems to be in the others this one appears to just top 4000, so based on the profile I'll say Tecumseh from ski area.

I'll go with Moriah for that one.

If it wasn't for the starting elevation (assuming GG is right that is), I'd go with Isolation via the Engine Hill 'whack actually. But based off a ~600ft TH elevation, I agree with Joe on Moriah from Bangor Road. EDIT: the bottom appears to have been cropped. I'm going with Isolation via Engine Hill. I have a track that is eerily similar, and the differences are easily explained by different tracks in the BW:

Matt is correct, its Isolation and he was in fact on this hike
