Alton, NH Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below. ![]() Looking down the Major/Straightback Link Trail on the way to the Mt. Major summit Daylight was a bit limited, but I was determined to get a hike in. Fortunately, the Mt. Major parking lot is well plowed. The Mt. Major Main Trail was decently packed for snowshoeing. I continued onto the Brook Trail, which is flat to moderate in pitch before arriving at the Straightback/Major Link intersection. From here, I had to break trail up to the ledges. Again, the trail is flat to moderate in pitch. The setting sun provided some great colors. I had the summit to myself for the sunset. Not overly cold. The descent didn't require me to turn on my headlamp, as the light from the half moon provided all I needed.
