P7260025.JPG=The Buldge and the Horn were also visible as well as all points north.
P7260021.JPG=Finally on top we reached the south viewpoint which looks towards the northern Presidentials.
P7260023.JPG=Hiking along the wooded trail on the summit we soon came to the north view point where we decided to take a break.
P7260018.JPG=The trail to the peak is less than two miles. For the first mile the trail is very easy, however as you get further up the mountain the trail gets steeper. Some excellent trail building helps you make it over the rough sections.
P7260026.JPG=This was our second hike in two hot and humid days. We had enough water, but the heat really drained our energy. We may come back to Mt. Crescent on a cooler fall day to really enjoy the views.
P7260022.JPG=Unfortunately they were covered in haze on this hot and humid day.
P7260017.JPG=The Mt. Crescent trail is located at the top of the big hill on Rt. 2 just south of Gorham, NH. It's an easy to moderate hike to a mostly wooded summit that offers some great views.
P7260019.JPG=This trail loops around the top of the mountain. We decided to ascend and decend in a counter clockwise motion. Turns out the right side of the trail is much steeper and probably better for climbing than decending.
P7260024.JPG=The view here looks towards the Weeks range and Mt. Cabot.
P7260020.JPG=Heading up the trail to the south summit we came across a strange old marker. We think it's a logging grid marker. Something like R3 was inscribed on the post.
