Trail: Mt. Roberts Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail
“A few camp groups were coming down while I was going up. Not too steep, just a steady pitch up after an easy opening mile. The view from the summit is shrinking.”
Trail: Mt. Roberts Trail
Conditions: Dry Trail
“Nice day to be out. Saw three or four groups of campers coming down as I went up around noon. View to the north from the summit is filling in. Ledges were dry and easy.”
Trail: Mt. Roberts Trail, High Ridge Trail, Black Snout Trail, Oak Ridge Cut Off, Upper Bridle Path, Lower Bridle Path
Conditions: Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant
“Great hike overall. Met one other hiker on the High Ridge Trail, we were both surprised to see another hiker up there on a weekday. Lots of people on the Mt. Roberts trail.The upper part of the Oak Ridge Cut Off was basically a stream running down the trail till I hit the Upper Bridle Path. All the other trails were dry enough to miss most of the mud and water from the previous day's rain.”

Rising to 2,582 feet in the Ossipee Range of central New Hampshire, this moderate summit offers hikers a rewarding experience within a quieter, less-trafficked corner of the state. The Ossipee Range is a geologically distinct circular mountain range formed from an ancient volcanic ring dike system, giving the area a unique character compared to the granite peaks of the White Mountains. Trails to the summit wind through pleasant mixed forest, and while the peak remains largely wooded at the top, partial viewpoints reward those who explore the upper reaches. As a member of the 52 With A View list, the mountain delivers enough scenic interest to justify the moderate effort required. The relatively accessible terrain makes it suitable for hikers of intermediate ability, and its location within the Ossipees provides opportunities to combine it with other nearby peaks for a fuller exploration of this underappreciated range.
