The trip report

Written by a member

It was a gorgeous day for a hike. We took our time ascending to the summit and had a nice break to refresh ourselves and take in the view. There were many wonderful conversations. Some of us went to Taco Bay afterward for great Mexican food.

About this event

Let’s hit the trail together for a morning hike up Mount Major followed by a casual lunch and hangout!

We'll be hiking the Brook and Main Trail loop:

Distance: 3.9 miles
Elevation gain: 1,151 ft
Estimated time: ~2 hours 20 minutes
Difficulty: Moderate

This is a beautiful, forested hike that becomes steeper and rockier as we approach the summit – but the payoff is totally worth it! At the top, you’ll find stunning panoramic views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the White Mountains, along with the historic stone remains of Mr. Phippen’s Hut.

Dogs are welcome – but must be kept on a leash.

Trail Tips:

* Hiking shoes with good grip are highly recommended.
* Bring water, snacks, and sunscreen.
* A light jacket may be good if it's breezy at the summit.

Social Lunch:

After the hike, we’ll relax with a picnic-style lunch at the summit or stop somewhere nearby to grab a bite, depending on the group vibe. Either way, it’s a great opportunity to enjoy the views, recharge, and connect!
