The Horn

The Horn is a mountain summit in the Pilot Range with an elevation of about 1,190 meters (3,900 feet). The peak features exposed ledges with expansive westward views across the northern section of the White Mountains.

The peak became part of the New England Hundred Highest Peak Challenge, which increased its recognition among hikers and climbers. This status motivated many mountaineers to add it to their climbing objectives and records.

Local hiking communities gather data about summit conditions through online platforms, creating a knowledge network for future climbers of The Horn.

The hike from Mill Brook Road to reach this summit covers about 5 kilometers (3.3 miles) and involves significant elevation gain. Conditions vary by season, so checking trail status beforehand helps you prepare proper footwear and expect moderately steep sections.

The southern flank of this peak feeds the headwaters of the West Branch Upper Ammonoosuc River, which flows into the broader Connecticut River system. This water from the ridge eventually travels through multiple states before reaching the Atlantic.
