The Old Speck Trail, also the route of the Appalachian Trail, climbs for 3.5 miles before turning onto the Mahoosuc Trail for the final jaunt through gnarled conifers to the summit. The 36-foot observation tower gets you way above the trees for a huge 360-degree vista, the reward for the sweaty effort to reach the top. ~ Carey Kish
