Mt. Garfield. It is an relatively easy 10 mile hike, 4-6
hours.
Mt. Garfield, located just miles east northeast of Mt. Lafayette and
Franconia Ridge in New Hampshire's White Mountains is the 14th highest
among the four thousand foot peaks in the White Mountains. What makes
this mountain stand out from many of the other White Mountains is 1)
the relative ease of the hike to the top via the Garfield Trail (class
1) from Gale River Loop Road (off Route 3), and 2) the grand view from
the from the top looking at the Pemigwasset Wilderness towards the
south.
Mt. Garfield can also be approached by the west from Mt. Lafayette
(distance from Mt. Lafayette is 3.5 miles) and the east from the
Galehead Hut via the Garfield Ridge Trail as a multiple day and
multiple summit hike. The Garfield Ridge Trail is though especially
from the west can be a steep and rocky climb.
The Garfield Ridge Trail at the time it summits Mt. Garfield is
considered park of the Appalachian Trail link from Georgia to Maine.
The most popular route to get to the top is hike the easy (class 1)
Garfield Trail (4.8 miles) to it T-junction with the Garfield Ridge
Trail (0.2 miles) which is a steep climb and at parts easy scramble to
the summit. The Garfield Trail is well-known for it's relative ease to
dayhikers due to the fact that it follows old fire roads and tractor
road to the top. Though the hike is ten miles, a hardy hiker and
summit Mt. Garfield in four to six hours due to the ease of The
Garfield Trail.
Getting There
GARFIELD TRAIL 4.8 miles one way
TRAILHEAD ELEVATION: 1500'
GARFIELD RIDGE TRAIL 0.2 miles one way (Scramble)
TRAIL INTERSECTION ELEVATION: 4180'
10 miles round trip
Take I-93 north to exit 36, Route 3 toward Twin Mountain. Stay on
Route 3 until you see a sign for Gale River dirt road on your right
just before the Gale River. If you pass the first intersection there
is another road intersection across the Gale River which is better
marked. (Gale River Road is closed for snowmobile travel in winter but
is usually a plowed section off of Route 3 where hikers can enter).
Take Gale River Road to the Garfield Trail parking area (fee). | C*****1

Mount Liberty
Either take the Bike Path or the Whitehouse Trail to the start of the
Liberty Spring Trail. Take that trail to its junction with the Franconia
Ridge trail, and follow it to the summit of Mt. Liberty (rt: 8.0 miles, 3,
250 feet, 5:35). The Liberty Spring Trail has a steep and rough section. A
short segment of the Franconia Ridge Trail is above treeline, but most is
sheltered. This trip is often combined with Mt. Flume (see discussion of
loops below).
Most hikers start at the Flume parking lot. It is probably a bit shorter to
take the bike path from the Basin parking lot, but hikers driving up from
the south will have to return by going to the Tramway exit to reverse
direction. Starting at the Basin gives more substantial savings in distance
if the old logging road briefly mentioned in the White Mountain Guide is
followed. While its upper end is quite clear, the lower end has no clear
landmark. |
