This a public service notice only, I did not hike this peak today.
Per the guidance of the staff of the Horton Center, which operates a camp on the mountain, the following is requested of hikers who climb the peak:
Summit -- The summit is located on private property owned by the Horton Center, a faith-based camp and retreat operated by the New Hampshire Conference of the United Church of Christ (Congregational). The Center owns a 100-acre tract on the mountain with a complex of buildings situated on the northern plateau. Hikers are welcome on the mountain, but are requested to not disturb any religious activities that may be occurring, mainly during the summer.
Horton Center Complex -- The main buildings of the Horton Center are off-limits to the public and should not be visited. There are access points to the complex which are unmarked, but are closed to hikers: a beaten path leading west from the spur trail to Chapel Rock, and the section of the old fire tower tractor road leading north from the junction of Pine Mountain Trail and Pine Mountain Loop. Also, if approaching via Pine Mountain Rd., hikers should not venture beyond its junction with Pine Mountain Loop.
Chapel Rock -- Hikers are welcome to visit Chapel Rock in the off-season only. Public access is prohibited during the months of June, July and August.
Chapel View Shelter -- This Adirondack-style shelter, located at the end of Chapel View Spur on private property, is not available for public use.
Parking -- If approaching from the south via the Pine Link trailhead, and that parking area is full, do not park along Pine Mountain Rd. |
