Summit of Mount Major, elevation 1786 feet. Considered an easier hike - kid friendly.
I'm nowhere near being fit and trim. I've hiked it before, figured I wasn't ready for a real challenge and its good for building up endurance.

My friend and I took the Main Trail which was marked with "blue blazes". As you can see, I'm not quite fit or trim. The temperature was in the mid 50s and I wasn't overly sweaty or exhausted.
Almost to the top of Mt. Major.
Made it. If the picture below is enlarged (by clicking on it), you will see a snow covered peak just off the center. I believe that is Mount Washington.
This is the only man made structure at the top. It helps block the wind. It was a little chilly.
This U.S Geological Survey marker is located behind the remains of the stone building. Coincidentally, it was being hidden by a bull dogs behind. A warm place to sit?
Dogs are allowed. Saw many. Wish I had that bull dogs energy.
You can barely see the parking lot. That light spot by the pine tree. Started the hike around 8:30, hung around the top for about an hour and returned the same way at about 11:30. I had a great burger at the Olde Bay Diner in Alton Bay and drove 2 hours home. That burger was almost worth the trip.
