Hiking Mount Pemigewasset in Franconia Notch

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Mount Pemigewasset is a prominent peak in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, located within Franconia Notch State Park. At 2,557 feet, Mount Pemigewasset is known for its distinctive profile and great views. 

The most popular route to the summit is the Indian Head Trail, a moderate to challenging 3.8-mile in and out hike that begins south of the Indian Head Resort on Route 3. The mountain can also be climbed via the Mount Pemigewasset Trail, which begins at the Flume parking lot off our Route 3 just before it joins Interstate 93 to pass through Franconia Notch. That route is 3.4 miles in and out. For the effort of the climb, you are rewarded with stunning views of the southern end of Franconia Notch, the surrounding peaks, and the Pemigewasset River valley.

For this hike we strung together the Indian Head Trail, the Mount Pemigewasset Trail, and a road walk on Route 3 to create a almost five mile loop hike. The hike started at the Indian Head Trail trailhead on Route 3, climbed Mount Pemigewasset on the 1.6 mile long Indian Head Trail, then descended to the Flume Parking Area on the 1.7 mile long Mount Pemigewasset Trail, and then walked down Route 3 1.5 miles back to the Indian Head Trail trailhead to complete the loop.

The total hike is about 5 miles in length with about 1,500 feet of elevation gain along the way. The hike is moderate to difficult, with some steep and rocky spots along the way.

  2. Safety: Some sections of the trail can be steep and rocky, so use caution and watch your footing. It’s also a good idea to hike with a friend or let someone know about your hiking plans. 
  3. Leave No Trace: As with any outdoor activity, remember to follow the principles of Leave No Trace. Pack out any trash, stay on the trail, and be respectful of the natural environment.
