Mount Jefferson in a few sentences

Have you ever heard of the Presidential Range? It is a set of mountains baptized on behalf of former US presidents. This time, Mount Jefferson is ranked third in New Hampshire's highest mountains. Its name pays tribute to the third American president Thomas Jefferson. If you are looking for a mountain of high difficulty, you will not be disappointed by Mount Jefferson and its rocky trail.

Which way to reach Mount Jefferson?

From the parking lot on Jefferson Notch Road, the shortest and fastest path to the top of Mount Jefferson is the Caps Ridge Trail. However, it is a difficult path that requires caution. Indeed, at some passages, the trail is very survivable with rocky capes. The use of hands is often solicited instead of walking sticks. In rainy weather or windy weather, this passage remains dangerous because of slippery rocks. The other difficulty lies in the unexpected change of temperatures because of the wind. It must be properly equipped to reach the summit. Once at the summit, admire the remarkable beauty of the rugged summit of Mount Jefferson. In the surroundings, the view is simply magical while contemplating the mountains Washington and Adams. With a height difference of 825 meters, allow about 5 hours to complete this 8 km course.
