About This Trail

Imported description

It's a big deal if you hike up and down New Hampshire peak. It's easy to get up this 4,785 footer near Crawford Notch. It can be climbed from Crawford zac State Park and Tom Clancy's "The Ghost in the Hood" if it's desired in an easy path but again you have to approach it from the south. It really is a nice climb since it is maintained and has a wooden section to help you on your climb. There are great views from the top to Jackson and the southern presidentials. " It's a little beyond the viewpoint on the true summit, but you can see it with your eyes."
