Well, depending on your hiking ability, there is the Over The Hill Hikers. In our group, 50s would be on the younger side, but not unheard of. We are typically near or post-retirement age. The "A" group hikes mainly the NH 4000 footers, from early May thru October, with November hikes according to weather. Some hike through the winter. Today's hike was Moosilauke (4802 ft); "book" time for the ascent/descent was around six hours, but we did it comfortably in under five hours, including nearly a half hour at the top for lunch. Not bad for a bunch of "old folks."

There are "B" hikers (a bit slower, and more inclined to do the lesser peaks), and a "walking group" also.
