This is a terrific destination with a beautiful trail that is well-blazed and well-maintained. The hiking distance is only 0.8 mile with 623 ft elevation gain. It's truly a huge bang for the buck!
In addition to a stunning view over Little Averill Lake, a wide array of mountains can be seen in NH and VT. Conditions for distance-viewing were not ideal on the day of my visit, but through the clouds, faint outlines could be seen of peaks in NH mountain ranges, including the Franconia Range and Pilot Range. Also, many peaks in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom were visible, as well as several high peaks at the northern end of the Green Mountains.
