Mt. Major
Alton, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking up the Mt. Major Trail
Route: Mt. Major Trail, (Mt. Major), Mt. Major Trail
With the exception of the usual wet spot near the trailhead (herd path to the left avoids it), the trail was dry and in good shape. Decent sunset with a nice cool breeze to keep the bugs away. Peaceful...but not for long! Thousands of motorcycles will be here soon!
