The White Mountains - Hiking New Hampshire's Dixville Notch to Table Rock and Mount Gloriette

Thursday, July 8, 2021 12:01

Dixville Notch is the northernmost of the major mountain passes/notches in New Hampshire and home to the abandoned Balsams Resort, which also included a ski area on Mount Gloriette. There are a number of trails to the surrounding mountains and to the edge of the notch itself, whose southern edge consists of some very significant cliffs!

We began our hike at the Cascade Brook Picnic Area just off of Route 26. The picnic area/pull off/trailhead is located just east of Dixville Notch proper. The Three Brothers Trail ascends from the trailhead towards Mount Gloriette and Table Rock above the Notch. The Three Brothers Trail is also host to the Cohos Trail, which traverses a 170-mile long route between Crawford Notch in the White Mountains to the New Hampshire/Canada Border in Pittsburg, NH.

From the parking area we followed the Three Brothers/Cohos Trail south and ascended the shoulder of Mount Gloriette that forms the southern wall of Dixville Notch. During the climb, we passed Huntington Falls, the Middle Brother Outlook, along with Table Rock before reaching the summit of Mount Gloriette.

Huntington Falls is only a few tenths of a mile from the trailhead and is consists of a series of cascades on Cascade Brook.

The Middle Brother Outlook provided views up through Dixville Notch atop the high cliffs that form the southern edge of the notch. Table Rock is a unique viewpoint that juts out from the notch’s cliffs and forms a relatively flat platform (like a table) that gives you (dizzying) views of the entire notch area. Since it was raining and the rocks were wet, we didn’t venture too far out on to the rock, but what we did see was stunning.

From Table Rock we continued on the Cohos Trail to the summit of Mount Gloriette and the remains of the old Balsams Resort’s ski area. The hike from Table Rock to the summit was wet, but fairly easy. We had thought of continuing on to the summit of Dixville Peak after Mount Gloriette, but with the rain and relatively cold temperatures for July, we decided to switch into our dry clothes and rain gear, and then headed back down to the car at the Cascade Brook Trailhead. The hike was a 6 mile in and out hike and we utilized the Cohos Trail for the entire length of the hike. —– You can find this hike:Described in the White Mountain Guide Need Outdoor Hiking, Backpacking and Camping Guide Services to explore places like this:Hike On Guides (hike with us!)
