"Did the trail in October. Great weather and amazing views! Well marked. Perfect difficulty. Amazing views for most of the hike. Parking was full when we got there at 10am so youll have to park on the road"
"One of the best hikes I've been on in NH! It's definitely a moderate skill, leaning towards harder rather than easier because there's a lot of incline. Make sure you have plenty of water and some snacks so you can rest a bit at the summits. If you bring your dog make sure their paws are in good shape beforehand, it's a lot of bare rock so it will wear on their pads. The views on the top are great, can't wait to do this hike again in the future!"
"One of the most popular trails in the White Mountains, for good reason. If you don't want crowds go early. 7am on an October Sunday I was the 4th car there, when I finished the loop around 10am there were 100 or more cars filling the parking lot and parked all down the road. $5 parking by machine which accepts card which is cool for being in the middle of the woods. Alternatively I've also hiked in April after a snowstorm and was one of only 3 people there the entire hike. The hike itself is challenging but on the easier end for a White Mountain hike. Lots of exposed steep rock slabs. There are 2 separate peaks, each with great views throughout. Took my dog and I just over 3 hours with photo breaks. Dog friendly, my 8month puppy enjoyed it, I had to lift him up once on a steep section. If you have a small dog you may have to do this more frequently."
"Amazing views! Highly recommend!! My boyfriend and I hiked it in 2.25 hours with a couple of stops to sit, eat, and take in the 360 mountain views. Its definitely got some steep rock climbs that are a little challenging. Wouldn't recommend bringing a dog unless they are more experienced hikers. One of the best hikes in the white mountains, can't wait to hike again!"
"Amazing trail. Did it myself in 3 hours. Plenty of parking on a Friday. Ticket machine does not work though. Excellent views but steep hike. I wore flat sneakers and was lucky that I was all dry. Lots of dogs off leash, which was nice for us."
