Summary
Please join me for this 5.5 mile loop hike of Mts Morgan & Percival. The 2200' peaks sit above Squam Lake and afford spectacular views south to Squam and Lake Winnepesauke after a 1500' elevation gain. It's a short, challenging hike but well worth the effort for the views. We'll ascend via the Mt Morgan trail, traverse the ridge on the Crawford-Ridgepole trail to Mt Percival where we'll have lunch above the cliffs and then descend the Mt Percival trail back to the parking lot. Should be down between 3 & 4PM.
