Description
This route ascends a small brook, then continues up the east face to the summit ridge.
The bushwhack mostly features open woods, but you may encounter very thick spruce just before the summit ridge.
Mount Kancamagus is on the New Hampshire Hundred Highest, a peakbagging list that features many intense bushwhacks.
As with all summits on this list, the high point is marked with a canister containing a register log.
Be warned, this is by no means a leisure hike, it involves a great deal of effort and good navigation skills.
