<p><br>
It has been said that Mt. Monadnock is
the second most hiked mountain in the world after <a href="http://kankou.pref.shizuoka.jp/english/mtfuji/mtfuji.html" target="_blank">Mt.
Fuji</a> in Japan. Whatever the case may be, if you look around
the summit on a summer day, you'll see scores of kids and adults enjoying
the fine views from this very popular peak. The top half
of the mountain is characterized by big slabs and boulders of rock that
are fun to climb over. There are many trails of varying levels
of difficulty so there is something here for everyone.</p>
<p> Mt. Monadnock is the centerpiece of the 5,000
acre Monadnock State Park. There are 40 miles of hiking trails, a visitor
center, a campground with 21 tent sites and 7 youth group sites, a camp
store, bathrooms, and shower facilities. The park is open year-round
although services are limited from November through April. Pets
are not allowed.</p>
<p> The word "monadnock" originally comes
from the Abnacki Indian language meaning "mountain that stands alone."
Because Monadnock "stands alone", views from the treeless summit stretch
far into the distance into surrounding states like Vermont and Massachusetts.
Boston and the White Mountains are visible on a clear day. </p>
<p> Mt. Monadnock forms one end of the roughly
50-mile <a href="http://www.msgtc.org/" target="_blank">Monadnock-Sunapee
Greenway Trail</a>. It is also the terminus of the 117-mile <a href="http://people.ne.mediaone.net/hiker6/" target="_blank">Monadnock-Metacomet
Trail</a>.</p><div align="center"><b><font size="2"><b><font size="7">Directions to Mt.

<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular" size="2">This
popular trail begins next to the Visitor Center at the Park
Headquarters. It is the shortest, most direct route to the summit. The
first three-quarters of a mile follow a gradual, wide trail through
maples, oaks, birches, beeches, spruce, and pines.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular" size="2">One
of the most refreshing features of this trail is Falcon Spring, located
eight-tenths of a mile from the start. A short turnoff to the spring is
clearly marked on the left. This fresh mountain water is cold and
delicious. It pours from a pipe year round. Don't miss it.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular" size="2">Parts of the White Dot Trail follow huge, sloped, granite boulders which sometimes are imposing.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular" size="2">This
trail also offers many vistas early on. At 1.3 miles the trail leaves
the woods and opens onto an exposed stretch, with the summit visible
above and the sweep of forested valleys below. After a short re-entry
into woods, the trail emerges on bare-rock ledges for wide-open hiking
the rest of the way. On clear days Boston skyscrapers can be seen on
the eastern horizon.</font></p>
