Owl's Head, Mountain summit in White Mountains National Forest, New Hampshire, US.
The summit reaches 2,182 feet in elevation and features a 3.1-mile trail through dense forests of white birch and hardwood trees.
The mountain's fire tower, constructed in 1919 to replace a wooden structure, served as a crucial fire monitoring station until the 1970s.
The name derives from the mountain's profile, which resembles a great horned owl when viewed from specific angles in the Long Lake region.
Visitors need to access the trailhead via Endion Road, located one mile north of Long Lake on Route 30, with parking available 1.6 miles ahead.
The summit contains four distinct peaks, including two prominent formations called horns, and offers 360-degree views of the Central Adirondacks region.
