Mount Osceola and East Osceola

08/27/25

Mt. Osceola is such a fun trail! Its one I often take folks to as an "intro" to the White Mountain 4,000 footers. Lots of switchbacks at the end on rock slabs that opens up to a gorgeous view of the Whites. To make this harder, you can combine this with an out-and-back to East Osceola (on the NH 4000 footers list so don't miss this one if you're checking these off your list!) which is a very wooden summit that you have to descend/ascend the notorious "Chimney" to get done. Essentially you have to scramble up/down a massive chimney structure of rocks. On the way down, you can go to the left and its a little easier and has been worn out over time by folks going the way.

Mount Tecumseh via Tripoli Road

This short hike starts out from the Tecumseh Trailhead parking lot along Tripoli Road at an elevation of 1,820 feet. The trail heads south from the parking area and almost immediately crosses a few brooks which may be difficult at high water. The first mile or so is a relatively gradual ascent. Once you reach a cairn the trail makes a hard turn to the east and then begins to ascent to the firs...

Hike the Lafayette-Lincoln Loop

Begin at the Mt. Tecumseh trailhead. You will hike for 1.2 miles before your first vista. Continue from there another mile until you arrive at the junction with the Sosman Trail. Stay right and continue another 0.3 miles to reach the summit of Mt. Tecumseh. At just over 4,000' this peak offers incredible views of the Sandwich Mountain range. When you've had your fill of splendid wilderness expe...

Osceola Mountain via Greeley Pond

Start out at the Greeley Pond trailhead off of the Kancamagus Highway. After 1.3 miles the trail splits--bear right to get onto the Mt. Osceola Trail. Continue 1.5 miles to the summit. This summit hike offers a different kind of reward. Views are limited from the peak of Mt. Osceoloa, which allows you to focus on your immediate surroundings. Enjoy the fresh mountain air and the gorgeous trees r...

Summit Mount Hancock and South Hancock

The Hancock trailhead is located at the infamous hairpin turn of the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountains. The trail itself crosses the road and starts at 2000 feet of elevation on the Hancock Notch trail. It remains fairly flat for the first 3 miles of the trail. After 1.8 miles you will hit the first junction with the Cedar Brook Trail where you will take a left. Continue for another 0.7...

Welch Mountain and Dickey Mountain Loop

This is a very well-marked and traveled trail, marked with yellow blazes. Start off at the trailhead (easy parking, $3 fee) and be sure to go counter-clockwise for the best route. The beginning of the trail meanders along next to a babbling brook and through forested terrain. The climb gets steadily steeper - once you're above the treeline, the rock scrambling begins. After about 1.3 miles yo...

Hike to Bondcliff

Park at the Lincoln Woods Visitors Center off the Kancamagus Highway where the Lincoln Woods Trailhead begins. Because of such a long hike, it's best to start at daybreak, or as early as possible to make it back before dark. The trail starts at the beginning of a suspension bridge crossing the East Branch Pemigewasset River. Follow this for 2.9 miles of relatively flat terrain until you reach t...
