Mount Garfield, Mountain summit in White Mountains, New Hampshire, US
Mount Garfield rises 4,500 feet above sea level, featuring a direct trail to the peak through dense forest and rocky terrain in the Franconia Range.
The mountain peak contained a fire observation tower in the early 1900s, serving as part of New Hampshire's forest fire detection network during severe fire seasons.
The mountain belongs to the New Hampshire 4000-footers list, drawing hikers who aim to complete all peaks for recognition in regional climbing communities.
The Garfield Trail extends 5 miles from the parking area on Gale River Loop Road, with winter access requiring an additional 2.4 miles from Route 3.
The summit offers views of Mount Lafayette and Lincoln while featuring Garfield Pond, located half a mile beyond the peak near the South Branch Gale River.
