During my stay in North Conway my family and I discovered the Black Cap Mountain hiking trail, which lead to a breathtaking summit, and a view of Maine and the White Mountains.
The Black Cap Mountain summit trail is a very steep 2.5 mile trial. The trail head starts in a spruce and beech forest, with a root covered walking path. The summit however is bare, with beautiful views. The trail is marked, and managed by the Nature Conservancy in NH.
My family and I made the hike on a beautiful, cool, and sunny day. The hike was made rigorous by the steep rocky incline of the trail, despite its total length being fairly short. The reward at the top however, was entirely worth it. The sky was clear and open, exposing the budding trees. Round trip, we caught photos of a vole, chipmunk, and an irritated red squirrel. However, in the right season many more interesting animals such as the Red Tanager and the White Tail deer can be spotted.
Would you hike Black Cap?
