Mt. Cube
Orford, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Cross-Rivendell Trail
Route: Cross Rivendell Trail
Lower half of the trail was mostly dry and in good shape. The upper half of the trail had quite a few minor mud patches and some wet ledge.
Brisk conditions on the summit. The North Peak Side Trail was better maintained than I remember it from a few years ago. Didn't get the full extent of those views tonight due to the fog, but had a neat sunset on the south ledges whilst the fog was dropping.

Directions to trailhead: From Route 25 in Wentworth, take Route 25A west. Shortly after driving past Mt. Cube, take a left onto Baker Road. The Cross Rivendell Trail will eventually cross the trail, with the Mt. Cube section being further up the road. There is limited room to park next to the trailhead.
