Mount Major, Mountain summit in Alton, New Hampshire, US.
Mount Major reaches an elevation of 1,786 feet, offering views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the southern White Mountains from multiple hiking trails.
The summit contains remnants of Mr. Phippen's Hut, a stone structure built in 1925 that provided shelter to early hikers exploring the Belknap Range.
A 2015 conservation initiative raised 1.6 million dollars to protect the 200-acre area, ensuring public access to this natural landmark for future generations.
The main parking lot on Route 11 provides access to three distinct trails: Mount Major Trail, Brook Trail, and Boulder Loop, each offering different hiking experiences.
Numerous glacial erratics, large boulders transported by ice sheets thousands of years ago, dot the landscape along the mountain's hiking paths.
