We had the chance to tag along with long-time hiking friend Tim as he made the final hike of his Grid Journey, a journey that has led him to a minimum of 576 mountain summits.

If you're actually reading this, you probably already know what a "Grid Finish" is, but for those of you who don't, I will explain.

Here in NH we have a list that includes 48 of NH's mountains that are over 4000 feet. To reach a "Grid Finish" a hiker must hike each of the 48 mountains on the list in each month of the year.

In this case, Mount Moosilauke in January, Mount Moosilauke in February, Mount Moosilauke in March and so on, with each of the 48 mountains on the list.

In the end, a hiker has hiked 576 mountains and can claim they finished "The Grid". It's a pretty elite club, with Tim being only the 119th recorded person to complete this hiking goal. Some finishers remain anonymous.
