Day Hikes in the Presi's?

[WhiteMTHike]

Greetings,

All the years I've been hiking in the Whites my hiking has been pretty much restricted to the Kanc and Waterville Valley areas. I will be taking my family up this Columbus Day weekend and I'm staying in Randolph (Jefferson Notch cabins to be exact), does anybody have a favorite trail in that area that can take up a full day of hiking? I've got Steve Smith's AMC Guide and it sure is helpful but I like to hear from some VFTTers as to what they suggest.

As always thanks.

I really enjoyed my loop up Castellated Ridge to Jefferson, across to Adams, and returning via Israel Ridge. (TR here: http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=23546)

Something less strenuous (with better footing) and equally good views would be up Ammo Ravine and down Edmands, then you a nice relatively flat road walk through the woods back to the cog station of only a mile or so. You could get there quickly via Jefferson Notch road which is kinda cool in and of itself.
