Review & FAQ:

Mount Kearsarge North in the Mount Washington Valley is a popular and fairly easy hike, even for families. It is located close to North Conway and its summit offers fantastic views of the Presidentials, Mount Washington Valley, and the Maine interior. One of the interesting features on the mountain is the historical wooden fire tower, which hikers love to climb. A moderately fit hiker can do Mount Kearsarge in little more than 3 hours. Like many trails in the White Mountains, the trail starts to climb gradually, getting steeper and rockier as it goes up. It continues moderately steep with no scrambling sections. While the trail is open enough on the way up to offer some views, nothing can be compared with the breathtaking vista from the summit.
