Mount Passaconaway, Mountain summit in White Mountains, New Hampshire, United States.

Mount Passaconaway rises to 4,043 feet in elevation within the Sandwich Range Wilderness, featuring dense forests and granite outcrops along its slopes.

Named after a 16th-century Pennacook tribe sachem, the mountain was initially called North Whiteface until geologist Charles Henry Hitchcock changed its designation.

The mountain's trails include the historic Dicey's Mill Trail, established by local residents after Kate Sleeper opened an inn near the base in 1891.

Hikers access the summit through a 12-mile round trip starting at Ferncroft Road parking lot, following Dicey's Mill Trail for a gradual ascent.

The mountain's northwest face bears the marks of an 1890 landslide, which later became the route for the Downes Brook Slide Trail.
