MT CRESENT—

The north outlook on Mt Crescent has one of the best views in the White Mountains. Located in the Randolph Community Forest, Mt Crescent and Mt Randolph are two 3000 footers in the Crescent Range just north of Rt 2 and the Northern Presidentials in New Hampshire.

Crescent’s north outlook faces the Kilkenny Range which you can see in its entirety, including Mt Pliny, Starr King, Waumbek, South Weeks, Middle Weeks, North Weeks, Cabot, the Bulge and the Horn.

Crescent’s south outlook, provides a clear view of the Northern Presidentials including the depths of King Ravine. On a clear day, you can see the entire ravine including the floor.

Take US 2 West from Gorham to the height of land. Take a right onto Randolph Hill Road. Head up the road and around the corner. The Mt. Crescent Trail trailhead will eventually be on the right, across from Grassy Lane. There is a small parking area adjacent to the trailhead. If there is no parking in that area there is a parking lot further down the road.
