It was fun. The footing was difficult. I recommend hiking poles. No trash bins available. Cost was $5 per person and I had a bunch of trail litter I had to cart home.
Wear everything for a full day hike and expect to be pleasantly surprised with the beauty and views of this grand Monadnock. The Park is very nice and also the head of the white dot trail the coolest trail to the top. Bring camera.
Well worth the trip if you're interested in hiking. Great benchmark mountain to gauge your abilities.
Camped here overnight and hiked the next day. Took White Cross trail up and Red Dot down. Took 2:15 to the top and around 2:30 down with frequent breaks and a stop for lunch.
The roads leading up to the park are the definition of picturesque. Felt like I was in a painting. Very clean and well managed park. Rangers and staff very pleasant and helpful. Only downside was no dogs allowed.
This was my third visit here. Trails are in excellent condition and the campsites are always well maintained. It's first come first serve for the 8 campsites here, but have never had a problem getting one late season in Nov.
It's a tough hike depending on what trail you pick. There are definitely trails that are appropriate for younger children and the less experienced hikers. Be sure to bring a lot of water and enjoy the marvelous view at the top. Happy hiking!
