Looking up the trail to Hurricane Mountain Route: Unnamed trail Taking care of some stuff in Conway, I headed up Hurricane Mountain Road for a quick jog/hike combo. After parking at the Black Cap lot, I walked back downhill for a hundred or so feet, then took a right onto an old road. Though there were quite a few blowdowns at first, there was evidence of use (and some blazing). The trail soon turned off the road bed and climbed over some ledges with decent views to the south at one point. Passing some old mine pits, the trail levelled off and worked its way to the highpoint. Other than a slight view of Kearsarge North through the trees, there wasn't much to see. Just prior to the highpoint, I had noticed "View" spraypainted on a tree. I followed this herdpath to another mine pit, but saw no continuation of the trail, nor a view.
