Highlights
- Middle Tripyramid is New Hampshire 4000 footer in the Sandwich Range of the White Mountains.
- Part of Mount Tripyramid, so named for its three distinct peaks along a mile-long summit ridge.
- Scaur Peak and The Fool Killer are subsidiary peaks to the northwest and northeast.
- To the southeast, Tripyramid is flanked by The Sleepers.
- Both North and Middle Tripyramid are included in the AMC's New England 4000-footers peak challenge. Although over 4,000 feet high, South Tripyramid is not because it stands less than 200 ft above the col on the ridge from Middle Tripyramid.

"Molly and I teamed up with Denise, Lynn, and Dan to hike the Tripyramids today. We went up Pine Bend Brook Tr. We encountered ice at higher elevations. Windy day today but mostly clear. We saw smoke on the way back down. A gain of 2 for my Grid today. " — newenglandwarrior • May 7, 2022
"A hike with Molly to help her with her Grid. We went up Livermore Tr and Scaur Ridge Tr to take on North Tripyramid. This allowed us to dodge any river crossings from yesterday's rain. We did an out and back on both Tripyramid peaks. I hit my 100th 4000 footer for the year. Nice day today. " — newenglandwarrior • Sep 25, 2021
"A Tripyramid loop day. Sarah, Katie, Molly, and I started up from the Livermore Tr and went up the north slide. This was my second time on the slide. Lots of fun and steep. Beautiful day for it. We made our way up North, then over to Middle Tripyramid. Molly finished her July grid on Middle. We then went over South Tri and down the slide, then out. A great day outside.

"An out and back on the Tripyramids. We were avoiding river crossings after the massive rain fall on Xmas day. So we went in from the Waterville Valley side via Scar Ridge Tr. I have never gone this way in the winter and it was a nice change of scenery. I needed both of these peaks for my Grid." — newenglandwarrior • Dec 28, 2020
"Solo. 16&17/48. Started out on the side of the Kanc around 0730. My car said it was 39°. The Pine Bend Brook Trail started out nicely, flat and unassuming, mostly dirt with some sections that are likely boggy when it’s wet out. Lots of small stream crossings, but it’s been very dry and I had no issue with stream crossing until the very last one of the day (of course).
After about 2 miles of hiking, the boulders started cropping up and after that it was a long haul up large boulder fields, I allowed another solo female hiker to pass me here. Following a sharp left at the top of the worst of it, the trail became a trail again, with some nice sections of soft dirt and flat land here and there. Another hard push and I was ... staring at some rocks. I figured this was the summit of North Tripyramid (4.68mi, 2888’ of gain, @ 2hrs31mins). The weather held at a nice mid 60’s temperature with hazy sunlight. I stopped to stretch my legs and then crab walked down the steeper rocky sections and continued on to Middle Tripyramid.
Not much to see here either, but a little something through the trees. (Now at 5.45mi, 3156’ of gain, @ 3hrs12mins). I sat around with some angry flies bu..." — kellieirene • Sep 15, 2020
"Bluebird day and almost too hot to be comfortable. We tackled the Livermore-tripyramid loop. 11 miles with some dramatic sense up exposure on the ascent. The loop makes the viewless summits worth it. " — hiking4000 • Jun 17, 2020
"I did the 11 mile Livermore-tripyramid loop with my brother, dad, and cousins. With breathtaking views going up and down both slides made the climb was worth it, despite all the bugs and heat. " — Eloise200 • Jun 17, 2020
"With the small amount of snow on the trails, it was particuliarly hard to ascend through the north slide and to descend by the south slide, as there was not enough snow or ice to cover the rocks and provide some grip. Still a great hike." — PL5 • Jan 13, 2020
"Second attempt at the Tripyramids. Had a nasty fall on the North slide three weeks ago. This time was successful. Took Livermore Road/Trail to Scaur Ridge to Pine Bend to Mt. Tripyramid Trail to North peak and over to Middle peak and back the same way. Beautiful blue bird day. Views are from Middle peak. Light bed of 1-2 inches of snow. Used microspikes but probably could have gotten by without them. " — dmcosker • Nov 9, 2019
"The second day of our fun weekend in the Whites. It was hot but the slide was dry so we were anxious to give it a go. Took the Livermore trail in and made our way to the base of the slide and enjoyed a fun climb up to North TP. Enjoyed the ridge hike through to South TP and then hiked/slid our way down the south slide. Another great day in the woods!" — deb-and-rob • Jun 22, 2019
