Mt. Wantastiquet, NH

Date Hiked: 09/01

Trails(s) Hiked: Road from behind Walmart (Hinsdale, NH) parking lot to summit ledge, then from trail with some orange markings to Mine Ledge.

Total Distance: not really sure, my guess is I hiked about 4.5-5 miles including lots of deviations from my original intended path.

Difficulty: Moderate-Difficult

Conditions: Dry trail, rocky, mostly cloudy

Special Required Equipment: None

If you take the access road up, its a fairly moderate 1,000' vertical hike, however there are multiple trails you can take to cut off the traverses - thus making it a steeper hike. Both the summit ledge and the Mine Ledge would be much better in the fall after the leaves have dropped.
