Here’s another great hike for those in the mood for a great alpine view, but without the time or energy for a more ambitious full day hike.  Best of all, this hike is literally moments from down town North Conway, for your après-hike convenience.  Here’s a quick overview:

The hiking is fairly quick, and the views from the top serve as ample reminder why you came out in the first place!  Through the trees a few peaks at Mount Washington can be had, but the real highlights are the Southern Presidentials, the eastern slopes of the Pemi, and the Sandwich Range.  See for yourself:
