<p>Day Hike Mt. Monadnock, Jaffrey, NH</p><p>TRIP DESCRIPTION: We will enjoy this spring season on this day hike. Rising 3,165’ in elevation, Mount Monadnock is higher than any other mountain peak within 30 miles. It offers unobstructed views from its rocky peak due in large part to forest fires that cleared the summit in the 1800s.
