Mount Cardigan, located in the Lakes Region of Central New Hampshire is one of the best places to be, with its 360-degree views and open ridge walks. On the east side of the mountain, start your hike at the Appalacian Mountian Club’s Cardigan Lodge. This trip utilizes the following three trails: Holt, Cathedral Forest, and Clark trails. While on the Holt trail, you will cross over Bailey Brook, a tempting but chilly swimming hole. Once at the summit, climb the fire tower and say hello to the warden if the tower is staffed. To the east one can see all the way to Lake Winnipesaukee and the Osippee and Belknap Mountains, and on a particularly clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of Mount Chocorua. To the west, you can look into Vermont’s rolling hills. To the north you can just begin to see the White Mountains, when the skies are clear. The hike is of moderate level. Total mileage one way is 2.6 miles with a hiking time of 2 hours and 10 minutes. This is an excellent hike for first-time hikers and families and an enjoyable track for those of all ability levels. The trail is steepest as you near the summit, traversing open granite slabs for the final 500ft from the Warden’s Cabin to the fire tower.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634998625516/e00c72ec-9aba-4268-973b-5e8a967d3ece.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Great hike](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248634998625516/ded1ca42-508c-48d3-8836-a239fcccd9bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Even though Mount Cardigan's summit is technically not above treeline, it is bald and offers spectacular views in all directions. #hiking](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000446830/285a42f7-58b0-456b-b545-c7db07085ad0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Orange Things to do ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.
