"Ed, Tom and I wanted to do a short hike after driving up. Nice dry trail, views from the tower were reduced a bit do to hazy skies. Snow covered Washington was a nice sight sticking above the cloud layer with bits of the other Presi peaks just showing. Cozy warm inside the cab wish we bought some more gear to stay overnight." — Nimblefoot • Oct 19, 2020

"I've wanted to come up here for some time. John loves it here, but since K. No. Tr. pkg was full we decided to go up the Weeks Brook Trail. John wasn't looking forward to it since it was somewhat unmaintained for so long. It wasn't too bad: hardly any blowdowns and the blazes could be refreshed some (it was hard to follow the trail in spots). Shingle Pond has a nice view of the mountain before you make the more serious climb to the top. I love the lookout tower here. Looks like a nice place to camp out! And amazing views all around." — SteveM_StickMan • Aug 31, 2020

"Summited Peaked Mountain via the Peaked Mountain Trail on Alltrails. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/new-hampshire/peaked-mountain-trail. The parking lot is off of Thompson Rd. Walk up to the trail sign and take a left. Where the trail forks take the left fork. Do not take the Pump Trail like I did for a half-mile. Hike up is steep. Difficult to trail run without taking a breather. Even in August, he mountain streams still had water in them for Maverick the Golden Retriever. However, the storm last night might be the reason as opposed to springs. The view from the top is incredible. Gazed on God's green earth for many minutes before heading down. Sunny and 85. Highly recommend this hike." — FL2NH • Aug 5, 2020

"Had planned to do the Baldface Loop, but circumstances @ work made it impossible. Knowing Kearsarge had a tower on it's summit made this alternative choice worth it. The tower reminded me of ones out west...not too tall & much bigger around. Met a group on the way up who had stayed overnight in the tower...sounds like a return trip for me." — billsussdorff • Sep 14, 2018

"What a beautiful day in the mountains. Trail in great winter conditions, well packed and no ice. Clear blue skies and little or no wind, temps in the 30's. There may have been days as good as this but never better!!" — goshen-bagger • Feb 20, 2017
