Glen Boulder Trail

(To the Glen Boulder)

Glen Boulder, visible to travelers on Route 16, is a glacial erratic curiously perched on the mountainside in Pinkham Notch. This steep climb leaves Route 16 from the Glen Ellis Falls Parking area. The trail rises above treeline at a relatively low elevation, passing two trail junctions, crossing brooks, and traversing open rocks on it's way to Glen Boulder. The views along the way are tremendous.

Note: Weather above treeline can be severe and unpredictable. Be prepared with proper clothing, footwear and common sense. Turn back if the weather appears to be changing for the worse.
