Name yer Most Under-Rated Summit...

[Whiteman]

Bang for the Buck

Mt. Jo (and it's not on a list) from the ADK Loj.

ON the list, easy, and bang for the buck, Cascade.

(My NY bias is showing)

Ditto on the folks stating Little Jackson in Weld, Maine. Peak 2 of Bemis Mountain and Aziscohos Mountain near Rangeley are two others that instantly comes into mind.

guyot rocks. south twin is amazing..not sure if its underrated..but i know what you mean, not mentioned a lot. i liked shelburne moriah also. i think the view straight down the slide from mt flume is pretty amazing too.

Big Moose Mt., Maine (no kidding!) Great trail, tremendous views over Moosehead.
Percy Peaks and Sugarloaf, NH in Nash Stream Forest. Huge views of unspoiled mountain/forest splendor.
Ampersand, Adirondacks. Lakes & mts. as far as the eye can see.
You can top out on any of these in two hours or less.

Mt Rigaud, Quebec,

At 700ft. above sea level.....20 minutes drive and Canadian dollar to boot, this mountain gives me the best bang for the buck.
On a clear day from the top, you can see Lyon mountain in the northern dax, the lower laurentian hills in Quebec and Mount Royal in Montreal.
Well worth the short hike if you are ever driving the highway between Montreal and Ottawa.

I'm with neil. Porter is terribly underrated. I think that is because of it's proximity to Cascade.

Another one for Porter. I actually liked it better than Cascade due to the fact that there is almost always so many people on the summit of Cascade.
