Monadnock Mountain
Jaffrey, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking at Monadnock from Bald Rock
Monadnock Mountain is the second most hiked mountain in the world and the most hiked mountain in the country, according to sources to be remained unreferenced. Despite being so popular, it shouldn't be taken as an easy hike - there are steep portions and minor climbing is required.
There's a pretty good variety of trails, ranging from dirt roads (Old Toll Road), to steep wooded trails (Do Drop Trail), to straight out rock ascents (upper White Arrow trail).
