This guided hike invites you into the heart of the White Mountains. Over about 3.5 miles round trip and 1,200 feet of steady climb, the trail winds through cool forest before opening onto sun-washed ledges with sweeping views of Franconia Notch State Park and the granite walls of the Notch below. It’s a hike that allows for space to breathe, time to linger, and a summit moment that feels both earned and quietly unforgettable.
This hike is beginner-friendly while still offering a rewarding challenge, making it a great option for all experience levels. The route is generally considered moderately challenging and takes an average of 2 hours and 23 minutes to complete.
Depending on our timing, we’ll enjoy a relaxed lunch either before or after the hike, along with warm drinks. Feel free to bring your own thermos or mug.
