Valley Trail Details
Valley Trail is a convenient linking trail between the Long Pond area and Beech Mountain, and also creates a good circuit or one-way trip over the mountain. The graded path traverses wooded slopes of pines and hemlocks, and a series of quick switchbacks make the climbing easier as the trail gains altitude. Trailhead: South end of Beech Mountain parking lot.
