Metacomet-Monadnock Trail, National Recreation Trail in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The Metacomet-Monadnock Trail extends 114 miles through mountain ridges, valleys, woodlands, and exposed summits between the Massachusetts-Connecticut border and Mount Monadnock.
Native American leader Metacom, who led resistance against colonial expansion in the 17th century, influenced the naming of both the trail and geological formation.
The Appalachian Mountain Club maintains this trail system, connecting Connecticut's coastal paths to New Hampshire's northern hiking network through four different communities.
The trail surface alternates between packed earth, gravel, rock ledges, and wooden boardwalks, with multiple access points and parking areas along its length.
Rhododendron State Park near Little Monadnock Mountain contains the most northern natural rhododendron grove in eastern North America.
