This is a wonderful place to visit when exploring Grafton Notch State Park, it's a pretty quick walk that leads directly through the gorge, you can look up and it's as though you're walking between great mountains, most of the walk is on wooden stairs that have railings which make it an easy and quick walk to go on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_nubqW7V5o

Skiing Location

Great ski mountain, good for all ages and skill levels with well groomed trails with a myriad of glades cutting between almost all the main trails on the Mountain. There is a lot to explore, and even more to enjoy. Never super crowded, making lift lines short and enjoyable.

Begin the hike by walking on the grass path through the center of the cemetery. Off to the right at the back of the field is a small sign marking the trailhead. The trail meanders through lowland forest. The trail has boardwalks and water bars at major wet areas, but small spots are muddy. As you climb, the trail changes from dirt to boulders and well-placed steps. The trail ends at a rocky outcrop with a beautiful view of the farms and woodlands of the Androscoggin River valley.
