Mount Kearsarge, Mountain summit in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, United States.
Mount Kearsarge rises 2,935 feet above sea level with a prominence of 2,100 feet, offering views extending across New Hampshire and into Vermont from its bare summit.
The summit has remained treeless since a forest fire in 1796, marking a significant change in the mountain's appearance and ecological characteristics.
The Winslow Trail honors Admiral John Winslow, commander of USS Kearsarge, who defeated CSS Alabama during a Civil War naval battle in the English Channel.
Two access points lead to the summit: Winslow State Park's trails from the west and Rollins State Park's route from the south via Kearsarge Mountain Road.
On clear days, observers can spot Boston's skyscrapers from the summit fire tower, despite being located 80 miles from the metropolitan area.
