1-Zeacliff. What’s next, Z-Harmony? Z-Commerce? Take
the side trail and enjoy the view of the Pemigewasset
Wilderness spread out beneath you. It’s easy to feel
crowded in the Whites so any slice of wilderness is
welcome.
2-Ethan Pond Trail. Nice to have friends in low places.
This is an old railroad grade traversing the side of a
mountain that breaks out into the open for a nice view
up and down the valley between the mountains. If
you’re not in a rush, Thoreau Falls is close to the trail
and a nice rest spot.
3-Beaver Brook Shelter. Dramatic view of the
Franconia Ridge especially at sunset.
4-Imp Campsite. A short distance from the shelter
is a viewpoint looking over Pinkham Notch to the
northern Presidentials complete with swinging loveseat.
5-Kinsman Pond. I discovered this the way most
people do by stopping at the shelter for a snack and
getting an unexpected treat. North Kinsman rises
straight up from the far side of the pond giving you a
chance to appreciate where you just came from.
