About This Trail

The iconic 7.8-mile round-trip route from Pinkham Notch to New England’s highest summit, following the Cutler River past waterfalls before ascending the dramatic headwall of Tuckerman Ravine. The final scramble over massive boulders leads to the 6,288-foot peak, famed for ‘the worst weather in the world.’
