Looking up the Jockey Cap Trail near the top Route: Jockey Cap Trail After having down back to back larger scale after-work hikes (Chocorua and Tecumseh) and having plans to do something requiring a lot of driving the next day, I decided to do a short hike, just to get out and enjoy the weather. For over a year I've been driving by Jockey Cap, saying "next time." Arriving at the trailhead, I was glad to see that I could indeed bareboot this hike. I'm so sick of carrying snowshoes. The Jockey Cap Trail is generally decently marked with blue blazes. It's a pretty fast hike and never gets too steep for any extended period of time. The views from the rocky summit are excellent - just about in all directions. It's also neat to note that people often rock climb up the southwestern face.
