The hike to Mount Pigsah is 4.1 miles out and back, just outside of Westmore, Vermont. The trail is most commonly used from March through October, but some people traffic this trail in the winter with crampons and sturdy hiking boots. This is an incredibly dog friendly trail.  Be aware that there are two trails: North and South, which do not connect at the bottom. The South trailhead has the ma...

 We came from Parc de la Gorge on Ch de Baldwin-Barnston road, which leads you to the Parc Harold F Baldwin area. Turn left onto Ch May and park your car in the parking area that is next to a small shop/cafe. There are signs at this point. Walk up the hill a bit until you reach the blue Mt. Pinacle sign and the trail on the right of the road. The hike up took us about 20 minutes to the awesome ...

Be careful if you are af...

There is room to pull off the dirt road and park near the trail head sign.Ultimately, this trail only has about 200 ft of elevation change as it threads its wa...

Though the trail may seem a bit daunting at first (especially for beginners), this out-and-back hike isn't all that difficult. At the trailhead (located almost directly behind the sign "Entering Dixville Notch State Park"), you'll begin by walking through some densely wooded forest. The trail is pretty steep and requires a bit of finesse as there are a lot of fallen branches and limbs across th...
