HIKING MTNS MORGAN & PERCIVAL

Details

Please join me for this 5.5 mile loop hike of Mts Morgan & Percival.  The 2200' peaks sit above Squam Lake and afford spectacular views south to Squam and Lake Winnepesauke after a 1500' elevation gain.  It's a short, challenging hike but well worth the effort for the views.  We'll ascend via the Mt Morgan trail, traverse the ridge on the Crawford-Ridgepole trail to Mt Percival where we'll have lunch above the cliffs and then descend the Mt Percival trail back to the parking lot.  Should be down between 3 & 4PM.

Directions

From I-93:

  • From I-93, take Exit 24 and follow Rt. 3 South to Holderness.
  • From Holderness, get on Rt. 113 and follow it northeast for 5.8 miles.
  • Parking for this trail is at the end of a short gravel road on your left (Mt Morgan trailhead).

From the East:

  • From the junction of Rt. 113 and Rt. 109 in Center Sandwich, follow Rt. 113 southwest for 6.0 miles.
  • Parking for this trail is at the end of a short gravel road on your right (Mt Morgan trailhead).

Anyone coming from the East (from Portland area or up Route 16) is welcome to consider carpooling with me from Center Ossipee (junction of Rte 16N & 25E)
