Mts. Morgan and Percival Hike

Mts. Morgan and Percival Hike

<p>A favorite classic over Mts. Morgan and Percival</p>

Details

Join me for this 5.3 mile loop over Mts. Morgan (2220') and Percival (2212').  The Morgan and Percival loop is an old favorite and it offers fantastic views of the Squam Lake area.  Along the way up there are optional ladders and caves.  There may be some fall color left to enhance the view even more from the ridge and summits.  Elevation gain is approximately 1575'.  Trailhead:  From I-93, take Exit 24 and follow Rt. 3 South to Holderness.  Get on Rt. 113 and follow it northeast for 5.5 miles.  The parking area will be on the left. There is also parking on the right side of the road at the Rattlesnake trailhead.  What to Bring:  Typical fall hiking gear should be appropriate:  shorts or convertible hiking pants, good sturdy hiking boots with thick socks and a windbreaker/raingear (just in case).  Also bring along lunch, snacks and plenty of water.  Optionally, pack bug repellent and sunscreen and anything else that you may require.  Afterwards:  We should be completed with the hike by 4-5PM.  If there is sufficient interest, we'll cap the day off with dinner/drinks Hart's Turkey Farm afterwards.
