"So I was going to hike both North and South today but when I got to the trailhead, wouldn't you know... forgot the microspikes. With so much ice around, the possibility of ending up injured was too great. So while exploring the area, found the road to the top. Drove up to the broadcast / cell tower area, parked and walked around, finding the actual summit point next to a cell tower fence. It was getting late and with the stiff wind blowing, saved the hike to this and its neighbor for another time." — SteveM_StickMan • Feb 23, 2022

"Checked out the Uncanoonuc's today for a +1 on my Views and Brews list. Lots of towers on South peak. North Peak had a view looking at Manchester. Went to Stark Brewery afterwards." — newenglandwarrior • Mar 11, 2019

"Coming off of a strained tendon in my ankle, it seemed best to take a short hike close by. The Uncanoonuc Mountains are a mere 1300 feet in elevation and located just northwest of Manchester, New Hampshire. The day was perfect, with little wind and temperatures in the low 30's when I started just before 8 a.m., parking at the kiosk near the trailhead. The ease of the hike was displaced as soon as I hit the trail. Although short, the 630 foot climb along the Incline trail was steep, with a 35% relentless grade that soon had me stripping off my fleece down to a base layer. Besides being steep, the trail bed is mostly consisting of softball sized rocks so the footing was a bit loose making for a little extra work. Approaching the summit, there are some views through the trees to the east overlooking Manchester and back along the trail, to some hills to the south. All in all, the views are not outstanding and in the summer, I'm sure most views are obscured by the leaves. The summit is a the largest grouping of cell tours and antenna masts I have ever seen. No wonder the AMC Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide describes it as "“probably the finest forest of communication ..." — rjnick • Dec 5, 2015

"Ascent Decided, on a whim, to go for an easy hike to fill a Saturday afternoon. Found one of the longer trails from the Goffstown Trails website, starting from the parking area at the top of the access road to the Goffstown Reservoirs. The trail follows along Mountain Road for awhile, eventually meandering into a network of snowmobile trails that crisscross through a series of power line trails. The lower portion of the snowmobile trails ran us into a section of impassible water, so we took a small detour on a B trail that I had hoped would lead us back to the main trail. Turns out I was off by a bit, but we managed to follow some logging trails up through a wide open section of downed trees and the leftovers of the last logging effort. Once we got through the logging leftovers, we strafed the woods until we found a fairly well-kept trail that headed upward. We followed the trail (and the sound of a generator in the not-so-far distance at the base of a summit tower), eventually coming out Summit Road, which we followed for the last few hundred yards to the summit. Descent After spending a few minutes checking out the ruins of what I've heard to be a hotel or lodge, bu..." — nickwheeler • Apr 27, 2013

"Summit is covered with towers, but the trip isn't all bad. Took the incline trail which has a ton of history as it used to be a railway. Also, some nice views if you stop at the viewpoints. Also found a US Army Benchmark! Not all bad at all. Full trip report here: http://livefreeandhikenh.blogspot.com/2011/10/some-history-on-south-uncanoonuc.html" — ksearl • Oct 22, 2011
