Scale Beyond Peaks and Valleys: Summit Mount Galehead, Owls Head, Passaconaway, Moriah, Tom, and Jackson

Mount Galehead - Elevation: 4024 ft

Difficulty Level: As always, the difficulty level of each mountain is going to depend on the individual hiker, the trail chosen, trail conditions, etc. Once you select the mountain you want to hike based on these lists, it is crucial to complete your own due diligence regarding the weather, personal stamina, and hiking experience. Overall, Galehead is typically viewed as a moderately difficult and challenging hike. 

Trail: There are many trails that one can take to summit Galehead, but the most direct and shortest route is via Gale River Trail. AllTrails link below:

Owls Head - Elevation: 4025 ft

Difficulty Level: With Owls Head, we continue on with the theme of moderately difficult to challenging hikes. The majority of this rating stems from the distance of the hike, which if you are taking the all trails route, is over 17 miles long. This is the time to assess one’s abilities, because this route is not for the faint of heart. It is also important to note that the best views from this hike are from the side of the mountain, prior to the summit. The top is a wooded area, marked by a stone cairn. 

Trail: The most popular trail is via Lincoln brook trail. All trails link below:

Mount Passaconaway - Elevation: 4043ft

Difficulty Level: With Mount Passaconaway we return to a less challenging distance, but still a moderately difficult route. If you are a more experienced hiker, I want to point out that many people also summit the lower in elevation Mount Whiteface (see previous post), in order to bag 2 of the 48 in one day. Consider this option!

Trail: There are two popular routes for Mount Passaconaway, the out and back trail that just summits Mount Passaconaway (via Diceys’s Mill Trail) and the loop that includes Mount Whiteface (Mount Whiteface and Passaconaway Loop). Both AllTrails link below:

Mount Moriah - Elevation: 4,049ft

Difficulty Level: With Mount Moriah, we return to a hike more suited for beginners. The rating for this mountain falls between easy and moderate. As previous mentioned, the difficulty level can change drastically with trail conditions, specifically with Moriah, as a large portion of one of the trails has rock slabs. When wet or icy, it can become very dangerous. 

Trail: The Carter Moriah trail is the most trafficked route. AllTrails link below:

Mount Tom - Elevation: 4,052 ft

Difficulty Level: Mount Tom, Like Moriah, is an easy to moderate 4,000 footer. Something that is really great about Mount Tom is that many trails allow for the perfect opportunity to not only bag 1 additional 4,000 footer, but 2! Both Mount Field and Mount Willey (which I will discuss in later blog posts) can be summited on a trail to the top of Mount Tom. 

Trail: The most popular trail is the Willey Range Trail, but Mount Tom can also be reached via the Mount Tom, Avalon, and Field Loop. Both are great choices. AllTrails links below:

Mount Jackson - Elevation: 4052 ft

Difficulty Level: Mount Jackson is a personal favorite of mine, and I would recommend this hike to anyone seeking the easy-moderate range. The majority of the hike is not very challenging. The difficulty for this trail mainly stems from a rock scramble at the very end of the hike. The view of the Presidential range are beyond worth it though! 

Trail: The best trail to access Mount Jackson is an out and back trail named “Mount Jackson Trail”. AllTrails link below:

Pat’s constant companion.

Passaconaway Road (NH)

6 October 2021

The ride this morning was a simple out-and-back, but on different sides of the Swift River. The trip up the river was on the old Passaconaway Road on the north bank. The trip back down was on the newer Kancamagus Highway (NH 112) along the south bank. The climb was a bit more than 400’ over 7’ish miles, so not steep. The outbound leg was a rolling climb, but the steeper sections were short and rarely pushed more than 5%. The return was fast and smooth - the road descends at a very even 1-2%. It levels out when it reaches NH 16 in Conway - and that’s also where the big traffic backup began from the downtown construction. I was able to make it through town much faster than the cars.

The old road was quiet. I saw almost no cars once the houses ran out on the lower section, though it was a bit of a surprise to reach the upper bridge around 8:00 AM and find it crawling with tourists whose tour bus was parked on the other side! The new road was a little busier, but it’s wide (the shoulder varies), and cars had no problem giving me a wide berth.

There were two covered bridges in the first quarter mile, neither of which I actually had to cross. One crossed the Saco River; the other crossed the Swift River. And then there was the Albany Bridge at the top of the ride where the Passaconaway Road crosses back over the Swift before joining the newer road.

A little over two years ago (Biketrip2019) I pedaled out of Conway by exactly this same route on my way to Seattle. Day 2 of 54! That morning, I was overwhelmed by both the excitement and the fears that go with starting a big adventure. Today I was caught up in the emotions associated with those memories. We’ve crossed paths with that bike trip a number of times on this road trip and every time it stirs some pretty powerful feelings. Two years ago, I turned right after crossing the Albany Bridge and continued climbing west over the Kancamagus. Today, I turned left, coasted back into town, and put the bike back in the car!

Explore Mount Tecumseh, Mount Isolation, Mount Waumbek, and Mount Whiteface: Lower in elevation, but high in enjoyment!

Now that I have covered an introduction of the NH48 and key hiker recommendations, I can now begin the next part of our series, which is detailing each of the peaks. I will start with the lowest elevation, and work up to the highest. 

Mount Tecumseh - Elevation: 4,003ft

Difficulty Level: How easy or hard a hike is depends on a multitude of factors such as stamina of the individual hiker, trail conditions, trail length, etc. That being said, Mount Tecumseh is generally considered one of the easier 4,000 footers, and is a good starting point for those just starting to conquer the NH48. 

Trail: A great resource to reference when considering trail options is the “AllTrails” website or mobile app. It includes reviews of trail conditions, images, and hike descriptions. One of the most popular trail options to summit this peak is via Waterville Valley Ski Resort. AllTrails link below:

Mount Isolation - Elevation: 4,004ft 

Difficulty Level: Do NOT underestimate this mountain! It is considered a challenging hike, with rock scrambles, and steep sections as well. If you are newer to hiking, I recommend putting an asterisk next to this one, and revisiting when you have at least 5 4,000 footers under your belt. 

Trail: The most popular trail for this hike is the Glen Bolder Trail. AllTrails link below:

Mount Waumbek - Elevation: 4,006ft 

Difficulty Level: Mount Waumbek is considered another one of the easier 4,000 footers. Keep in mind that in order to hike the shortest trail, you will cross over another mountain, called Mount Starr King. 

Trail: Mount Starr King Trail is the most common trail, which is an out and back path. AllTrails link Below:

Mount Whiteface - Elevation: 4,019 ft

Difficulty Level: While Mount Whiteface, is one of the easier 4,000 footers, something important to note about this peak is that there are a couple of popular trails, which can vary in difficulty.

Sunday I hiked Passaconaway and Whiteface in the Whites. I slept at the trailhead Saturday night, and I am quite a fan of the mattress I got for the back of my car! Anyway, the hike was frustrating but good. Snow-covered branches reaching across the trail hit my face and my pack, dropping snow all over me and into the outer pockets of my pack. I took the trail less traveled to the top of Passaconaway and postholed every few steps. I brought my snowshoes, but it wasn't bad enough to justify using them. I find my snowshoes so cumbersome that I'd rather randomly posthole. On the way up Whiteface a branch caught one of my snowshoes and ripped both of them out of my pack. I screamed and cursed the AMC for not doing basic trail maintenance. The few on top of Whiteface made it all worth it, especially since the sun was out and warming the summit. I made good time down the mountain and took advantage of a flat, warm and dry rock on the side of the trail and soaked up some rays.
