Mount Kelsey

Mount Kelsey is a forested summit in New Hampshire's White Mountains region. The peak sits surrounded by thick woodland, accessible by established trails that lead through the trees.

The mountain was recognized as a geographical landmark during 19th-century surveys of the White Mountains. Its identification came from systematic exploration efforts that mapped the region's natural features.

Local communities organize regular guided nature walks on Mount Kelsey to educate visitors about the native plant species and wildlife habitats.

The hike takes several hours and parking is available at the trailhead. The routes pass through wooded terrain that can become slippery in wet conditions, so proper footwear is worthwhile.

On clear days, the summit offers views across many neighboring peaks in the White Mountains, providing a broad perspective of the mountain landscape. These extended views make it valuable for studying how the surrounding ridges and elevations relate to one another.
