Situated east of the busy village of North Conway in Mount Washington Valley, Middle and Peaked Mountains are closely connected peaks, part of a range of small mountains known as the Green Hills. The views of western Maine from the overlook were outstanding. Returning to the junction for Peaked Mountain, we turned right and hiked a short distance to the Peaked Mountain summit trail. Two seniors not acting their ages clambered up the precipitous path to the open 1,739 foot mountaintop. We were back at the trailhead in a little over three hours. This old man was safely home before dark. ~ Ron Chase
