- Parking for mountain is about a half mile past the entrance of the Center for Wildlife. The summit can be reached by car and has a easy, handicap-accessible trail at the summit. The mountain takes only 25 minutes to summit by foot and about an hour round trip. There is a vast network of trails in the area, most of the trails off the mountain are better for mountain biking as the main trails to summit are rocky. XC skiing trails in winter, sledding at summit. Excellent place to catch the sunrise or sunset. Panoramic views of Cape Porpoise, Nubble point, Portsmouth, and Mt. Washington.
