Mt. Mack, Mt. Klem
Gilmanton, NH, Gilford, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Red Trail on the way to Mt. Klem
Route: Red/Blue Trail, Round Pond Road, Red Trail, bushwack, (Mt. Klem), bushwhack, Red Trail, (Mt. Mack), Red Trail, Round Pond Road, Red/Blue Trail
Essentially a road walk most of the way to Round Pond - dry, a little bit sandy. Loop over the peaks was also generally dry. Herd path to Mt. Klem highpoint is fairly prominent.
Very nice loop...much different feel as compared to the popular parts of the Belknaps.

Directions to trailhead: From Route 107, take Route 140 east into Gilmanton. Take a left onto Crystal Lake Road, bearing left to stay on it (when Mountain Road goes straight). After passing Crystal Lake, the road turns into Guinea Ridge Road. Take a right next to some cabins onto Manning Lake Road (this is inaccurately labelled as Camp Leo Road and Moulton Road on some maps...the current road sign says Manning Lake Road). There is a small parking area on the left just before reaching the area with the camp buildings. The Red-Blue Trail starts at the bridge just beyond the main building, in the form of a dirt road.
