 | Comments: |
A quick and easy hike up to the Boscawen high point. NH Mountain Hiking says 910', Hockeypucks says 930', take your pick.
I followed the woods road a short distance to where a tree farm is in operation at a large clearing. From the clearing, I took the left-most road and continued uphill to where the road abruptly ends. Just beyond here is an adirondack-style shelter. from the shelter, it's a very short and open bushwhack to the unrecognized high point. Just to the SE of the summit is a combo cairn / seat with a cleared view SW to Pat's Peak, Crotched and Monadnock. I followed the same route out. |
