Highlights
- North Trypyramid is a NH 4000-footer and one of 3 peaks that comprise Mount Trypyramid near Waterville, New Hampshire.
- The north face has a long, steep, prominent rock slide known as the North Slide.
- Often climbed in combination with Middle Tripyramid , another official 4000-footer on the AMC list.
- Usually climbed in a loop from north-to-south since climbing up the North Slide is easier than going down.

"Clear Fall day, with crisp temperatures in the 40s to start the hike, slowly rising up into the 50s throughout the day. The 40mph winds, however, contributed to a sharp windchill that dropped below freezing with some gusts. I set off from the Livermore South Trailhead just before 9:30am and began walking along Livermore Road, taking a brief detour to check out the Norway Rapids about 2 miles in. Livermore Road is wide, finely-graded, and almost completely flat - rising only 450 feet over nearly 3 miles. Although this section of the White Mountains was past peak foliage, the autumn colors were still vibrant along the Road and made for a few nice vistas of the Avalanche Brook. After one hour I hit the beginning of the Tripyramid Loop. I took the Livermore Trail to the north, which is only mildly more rugged and steep than Livermore Road. Another mile later, the Mt. Tripyramid Trail begins, hopping over the Avalanche Brook, entering the morning shadow of the mountain, and slowly ascending the ravine between Scaur Peak and the northwest face of North Tripyramid. Three-quarters of a mile later, the trail turns southeast and the real fun begins. The Mt. Tripyramid Trail starts off to the..." — JCalautti • Oct 12, 2024
"A hike for Molly's Grid. We did an out and back via Pine Bend Brook Tr. Soft snow conditions down low, firm snow conditions higher up. We wore snowshoes for most of the hike. Overcast day today but we were just below the cloud cover to be able to see the valleys. Saw Denise and Lynn today as they passed by us. " — newenglandwarrior • Feb 11, 2024
"Lots of snow on the trail. No blazes. I was able to follow other hikers' foot prints until 1 mile from north peak then lost the trail. I climbed up an icy creek the rest of the way which was quite a challenge! I got to slide down the creek on the descent which was a lot of fun. " — HikingMomMC • Dec 15, 2023
"Good crisp day with plenty of sunshine. Low 20s at the summits. First time hitting Scaur Peak just off the Pine Bend trail. A bit of a bushwhack as snow had obscured any herd path. Knock another off the NH Hundred Highest list." — Alohabuffy • Nov 12, 2023
"Claiming the Tri's for my current loop and a Calendar Day. I headed up the Livermore Tr because I was concerned about water crossings. Livermore Tr to Scar Ridge Tr to Pine Bend Brook Tr. An out and back kind of hike. " — newenglandwarrior • Aug 31, 2023
"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
"58 degrees to start with a beautiful sunny day that featured no humidity and a nice breeze at the summits. Spotted a car and went up Pine Bend Brook Tr. The last two miles before the summit were steep. The summits had limited views. The hike between North and Middle was fairly easy. Once we summited Middle Tri, we descended Sabbaday Brook Trail. A long 5.2 mile march that felt like it would never end. 10 miles, 7.5 hours. Felt similar to hiking the Hancock's." — GreggC • Sep 4, 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
