Appalachian Trail Across the Presidential Range

Considered to be one of the greatest multi-day hikes in the state, this 23-mile journey takes you across the ten iconic mountain peaks of the Presidential Range. Most hikers choose to start their trip at the northernmost peak of Mount Madison and ending in the south at Mount Eisenhower. The entire trip has an elevation gain of 9,000 feet, with a large portion of that coming from New Hampshire's tallest mountain, Mount Washington. Along the way, there are campgrounds and huts where you can spend the night. Keep in mind that while it is not difficult, the length of the trail can be challenging for many hikers. It is important to be well-trained in long-distance hiking and to come prepared with all the provisions and clothing you might need for the trip.
