Peary Mountain, Brownfield (956') 10/12/2023

On our way over to New Hampshire today, we stopped for a hike up Peary Mountain in Brownfield. It's a relatively easy hike which is only steep in one very short section. The lower part of the hike follows old woods roads before reaching a footpath soon before the western peak.

The western peak has open ledges with excellent views north and west.

Even though it's slightly lower than the main peak, it has the better views. We ate lunch at the western peak, before continuing along the ridge to the main peak.

At the summit there is a view east towards Pleasant Mountain, which we enjoyed for a bit, before descending via a slightly different route which avoided the western peak.
