Review & FAQ:

Mount Chocorua, about 12 km from Conway, is one of the most popular mountains in New Hampshire’s massive White Mountains, both with hikers and climbers. During the summer, it is a fairly short hike to the scenic, treeless mountain summit, and in the winter it offers a mild taste of climbing above the tree line in the White Mountains. The 3,475-foot-high peak is a cone of bare, steep, exposed rock slab and it has footholds blasted by dynamite to facilitate climbing. Nevertheless, it is very popular and so visitors should not expect a solitary hike, even in winter. The trailhead to Piper Trail, the most popular trail, is behind the Chocorua Store just off Route 16.
