Its about 4.5 hours away but I usually camp at the Dolly Copp Campground right near Mount Washington in the summer, if its still spring and I’m doing some backcountry skiing I usually camp at Barnes Field since Dolly Copp isn’t open yet.

Have you ever hiked Rattlesnake Mountain or Rattlesnake Ridge or whatever it’s called just north of Bolton Landing? It’s supposed to have an awesome view of the lake, trail head is just off 9N. I’ve always wanted to go up there but it’s called rattlesnake for a reason.

EDIT: It’s called Black Mountain.
