Mount Kearsarge, Mountain summit in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, United States.
Mount Kearsarge is a 2,935 ft (894 m) summit in Merrimack County with a bare rocky top. The views from its peak stretch across New Hampshire and reach into Vermont on clear days.
A forest fire in 1796 destroyed the trees covering the summit and created the bare landscape seen today. The mountain has maintained this exposed appearance for centuries.
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 routes lead to the summit: trails from Winslow State Park on the west side and paths from Rollins State Park via Kearsarge Mountain Road on the south side. Both options offer access to the open peak and its views.
On clear days, Boston's skyscrapers are visible from the summit despite being about 80 miles away. This distant view showcases the elevation and clarity available from the peak.
