Hiking

This is a great trailhead that fills up very quickly during the high season. From here you can hike Mount Major via trails of varying difficulty levels, and the trail system extends all the way to Gilford over the mountains should you choose to go farther. There are portable restrooms at the trailhead.

It is recommended to hike the trail clockwise. This way, you can enjoy some panoramic views in the direction you are walking on the descent.
