Yesterday was a wonderful day here in New Hampshire so we decided to do a short mountain climb up Mt Major. Mount Major is near West Alton and provides some nice views of Lake Winnipesaukee
Summit elevation is around 1780 feet and the climb is around 1100 feet. We took the Blue trail up and it was a rather easy climb with only the last 4/10 of a mile a bit steep and all rock. Temperature was in the 60's and sunny!
This picture was taken about half way up.
Same picture location from the summit
Rock shelter built on the summit back in the early 1920's the roof blew off the first winter and a second roof was added but only lasted about two years. The rock does provide some shelter from the winds when climbing in the winter time.
