Stanton Trail Route: Mt. Stanton Trail, (Mt. Stanton), Mt. Stanton Trail, bushwhack, (Mt. Pickering), bushwhack, Mt. Stanton Trail, bushwhack, (Mt. Langdon), bushwhack, Mt. Stanton Trail, Mount Langdon Trail With unseasonably warm temperatures, we spotted vehicles at the Mount Langdon Trail trailhead, then headed to the Mt. Stanton Trail. The Mt. Stanton Trail, as would the balance of the walk to the Langdon Shelter, had a bunch of recent blowdowns to deal with, as well as plenty of leaves. Reaching the ledges adjacent to the summit, we had excellent views to the south, east, and north. The next stop was Mt. Pickering. After bushwhacking a slight bit west to the highpoint, I continued to the northern viewpoint, from where we had decent views of Mt. Washington and Iron Mountain, as well as partially obstructed views to the east and west. The next segment of trail was over the Crippies - a series of ups and downs and ledges. The fourth one had decent views, though nothing particularly different than offered on Stanton and Pickering. Nonetheless, it was a nice stretch of trail. After a leisurely break, we continued on the lesser used segment of trail into the col and up to Mt. Langdon. After bushwhacking south to the summit, we continued on the trail, from where we had decent views of Mt. Washington. From there, we continued down to the shelter. After another break, we headed to the Mt. Parker Trail junction, then climbed out of the col and down to the trailhead in deep leaves. Hike Ratings Getting To Trailhead: Easy Destination: Mt.

In downtown Barlett, take a right at the blinking light (Bear Notch Road is on the left). After crossing the river, the Mount Langdon Trail trailhead and small parking lot are located diagonally to the left. To get to the Mt. Stanton Trail trailhead, return to Route 302, then head east out of downtown Bartlett, past Attitash. Just after the Saco River bridge crossing, take a right onto Covered Bridge Lane. Bear left at the fork in the road, remaining on Covered Bridge Lane. After the road starts to climb uphill, look for a hiking sign on the left side of the road at the beginning of a curve. This is the trailhead. There is some room for parking on either side of Covered Bridge Lane. Back to Mt. Stanton Profile Back to Mt. Pickering Profile Back to Mt. Langdon Profile
