Short hike, steep up and down but manageable. Beautiful view of Squam Lake at the top. West Rattlesnake had a more expansive summit but both mountains had great views. Pretty busy but enough space for everyone to keep their distance. Beautiful warm fall day!
November 7, 2020Slick with leaves, but worth the struggle :) Slow and steady wins the race
October 26, 2020would be better if not raining.
October 22, 2020What a quick lil’ hike for a GORGEOUS view. A little difficulty finding the trail head but following AllTrails map got us right on track! A few steep parts but not bad!
October 18, 2020Nice hike. Beautiful views
October 10, 2020October 10, 2020September 15, 2020September 6, 2020June 14, 2020I would give the trail itself maybe 2 or 3 stars, but the top is beautiful so I compromised. This is a super quick hike with a beautiful view at the top. I would not recommend bringing young children. The hike down is pretty steep and with all the dry sand/pine needles and leaves on the trail, it makes for a slide down in some spots of you're not careful (my son and friend slipped many times on the way down) Will definitely be going again, but will take a different trail to the top next time. We also got there early (7am) and it was pretty buggy. Other trails I have done that early recently weren't as bad.
May 22, 2020The name of this trail is quite the misnomer. You may have started out in a pasture, but the trail is largely an uphill climb through the woods. Granted, the view at the end is unparalleled in the area. However, I would not recommend this trail with small children in tow, as I experienced firsthand (Old Bridle would be the safer bet to avoid a rebellion). For adult hikers, it's a fairly short jog of the mountain.
April 20, 2020Beautiful view. Easy to find, the only suggestion I have is to say that it’s ONE MILE up, not one mile both ways which is what I understood. My sons age 11 and 16 were fine with the elevation, we took a couple breaks and we were fine. Parking is very limited.
April 19, 2020Nice hike! Great view!
August 4, 2019parking isn't the greatest and more of a moderate trail than easy. steep and narrow with no real break areas.
July 19, 2019Short 30-40 min hike, big payoff! Lots of bugs
July 18, 2019This was an awesome trail. Very manageable with kids. The view is amazing. I would definitely recommend this trail.

First to ReviewSome of the most rewarding summit views you could ever hope to see for a shorter hike like this one. Definitely bring bug spray!
