Sun., July 22 -- Mt. Webster & Mt. Jackson (4,000 footer) (NH)

6.5 mile loop; ~2600 ft. elevation gain
Summit: 4,052 ft. (Mt. Jackson) and 3,910 ft. (Mt. Webster)
Route: Webster-Jackson Trail to Mt. Webster; Webster Cliff Tr. to Mt. Jackson; and Webster Jackson Tr. back down to trailhead

Review: Beautiful views of Mt. Willey, Mt. Field and Mt. Tom from the top of Mt. Webster, and views of Mt. Washington and the rest of the Presidential Range from the summit of Mt. Jackson.

There's quite a bit of scrambling over rock and roots on the trail, with the most difficult section being the Webster Cliff Trail.

We started at 9:30 and didn't finish until 5:30pm! Eight hours to go only 6.5 miles! That gives you an idea of how difficult the trail is.
