The Tripyramids have three summits, but only the North and Middle peaks count as official 4000 footers.

There are multiple approaches to these peaks. We will be taking the Pend Bend Brook Trail. The Pine Bend trail leaves the Kancamagus highway 1 mile west of Sabbaday falls picnic area. Parts of the trail are steep with rough terrain.

This hike is considered strenuous. Hiking time is approximately 7.5 hours. Round trip distance is 9.6 miles with both summits. Elevation gain is 3,450 feet.

The Tripyramids consist of three peaks: North Tripyramid [4,140 ft.], Middle Tripyramid [4,110 ft.], and South Tripyramid [4,090 ft.].

This hike begins gentle with many brook crossings. After 2.1 miles and entering the Sandwich Range Wilderness, the real hiking begins with the trail becoming rough and steep as it ascends the north bank of the brook valley. At 3.2 miles we reach the Scaur Ridge trail where we attack the final steep, rough and rocky climb to the North Peak with several scrambles over icy ledges so MicroSpikes are recommended. We'll then tag the two peaks and return the way we came. 

This is an advanced hike with steep sections. This hike is not for slow hikers. If you have any doubt, please contact us. If you are up to it, it will be a great hike with fantastic views. 

Event Coordinators: Mike Boisvert and Jon Normand
