Mount Shaw, Mountain summit in Moultonborough, United States.
Mount Shaw is a mountain summit in the Ossipee Mountains of New Hampshire rising to nearly 3000 feet. The peak is covered in forest with exposed granite formations visible along its slopes and ridges.
Mount Shaw formed roughly 125 million years ago during the Cretaceous period as part of a volcanic ring system in the White Mountains region. This ancient geological event shaped the mountain's structure and appearance.
The mountain features on the '52 with a View' hiking list, which documents New Hampshire peaks offering exceptional panoramic perspectives.
The trailhead is accessible from Ossipee Park Road within the Castle in the Clouds estate and the hike takes several hours to complete. The path is clearly marked and easy to find from the parking area.
Few hikers realize that Mount Shaw ranks among the most prominent peaks in New Hampshire with significant vertical rise from surrounding valleys. This prominence makes it a rewarding destination for those seeking views that extend far across the landscape.
