Hard, 9.96 mi loop
4,373 ft elevation gain
Hiked 8/7/25
The tallest peak in the NE and second on the eastern seaboard, there are a variety of ways to get to the summit. This route provides varying scenery and a good section of the AT. Although it didn't pan out with the clouds, the sunset route down Jewell is the play, just don't forget your headlamp.
A neat looking transition from the sloped exposed rock to a more defined boulder stairs path. Small waterfall flowing along the watershed.
From one peak to another. Mt Washington as seen from the peak of Mt Monroe. Well defined trail may be seen climbing its way towards the top.
Steep stairs but a well maintained trail of rocks to make it easier as you near the summit of Mt Washington.
Holy shit, 4373 feet of elevation gain! I did 2160 the other day (North Cascades Maple Pass trail) and was impressed with myself. Well done you!
Thanks! Yeah, this is east coast too so i feel like I get beat up so much more by the trails out here. That’s a lot of down when its all rock stairs and boulders. Love that North Cascades area, well done yourself!
