Mt. Pemigewasset - like an old friend

This moderate hike provides an excellent outlook for relatively little effort. I've done it countless times over the years, and it never disappoints.

The White Mountain Guide says that the true summit is just beyond the first ledges and a bit to the left. Most people don't venture to this side and look northeast, and that's unfortunate because they miss the best views -- the entire Lafayette Ridge, from (right to left) Mt. Lafayette (5,260' high).

This trail is ideal for families with children. And I was pleased to see so many parents with their kids on this trail.
