Sunapee Mountain
Newbury, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below. "Summit" photos may in fact not be at the actual summit - but instead at the best nearby vista.

I took the Andrew Brook Trail most of the way up. I can't help but think it should be called the Andrew Trail Brook, due to how wet it was and how many brook crossings and climbs (that's right, there are multiple parts in which the trail actually goes up a brook or stream) there were.
Hike was considerably easier after Lake Solitude, as multiple trails merge into the Solitude Trail to the Sunapee Mountain summit.
Views weren't overly strong due to the heavy clouds, however they were still very nice.
