Mt. Kearsarge Hike and Group Photo
9:00 am - 11:00 am
1066 Kearsarge Mountain Road, Warner, NH 03278
Dress sporty! Sneakers are fine for this hike.
Join Julia, Sean, and other guests on a short hike to the summit of Mt. Kearsarge. We will meet in the Rollins State Park Parking Lot at 9 AM, hike up (0.6 miles and about 340 ft of elevation), and take a group photo at the top. In all, the hike takes about 40 minutes round trip. The hike is rocky and has some steep sections towards the top. Park entry is $4 (cash or card). NOTE: It takes 30 minutes to get to the parking lot, so you should plan to depart for the hike at 8:30 AM. Shuttle transportation is not provided for this activity, so you will need to drive yourself or plan carpools to get here.
