Description

This trail follows the ridge-line along the northern part of the Presidential Range (Madison Hut to Mt. Washington). It is also part of the Appalachian Trail.

Gulfside Trail is above tree line and the weather can be very unpredictable even on a clear day, be prepared for any weather even in the summer!

Provides sweeping views into the Great Gulf Wilderness.
