Summit Hiking

Starting at the Meister Hut is a 1/2 mile loop around the summit. Suitable for all ages, the trail displays scenic views of the Valley including downtown North Conway, the Conway Scenic Railroad, the Saco River, the Moat Mountains Range, Presidential Mountains including Mount Washington and more.

Looking for a longer trek? Check out the Black Cap Connector Trail. A longer 2 mile traverse to neighboring Black Cap Mountain. Still relatively easy and family friendly, the hike offers stunning 360 degree views of the area once reaching the summit.

Please hike at your own risk, stay on designated path, carry in – carry out, and don’t feed the animals – enjoy!
