Nice bushwhack to this New Hampshire 500 Highest Peak.
From our paring location we started off on started following footpath heading west that took us through the Gilman-Hall Cemetery. Once past we followed the footpath for just a bit then started bushwhacking southwest, dropped down and crossed some drainage, started climbing at moderate grade, in and out of pencil pine then into nice woods while still heading southwest heading for the summit. The summit area had several bumps here and there and we hit them all finding the recognized high point.
The far end or the southwestern end of the ridge had great views Double Head, Squam Percival and Morgan Mountains.
