Mount Jackson (4,052 feet) is the
most southerly, and lowest, of the presidential 4,000 footers.
We hiked the Webster-Jackson trail
which starts at the north end of Crawford Notch on Rt. 302.
It was 5.2 miles round trip, with 2,150 feet of elevation gain.
It took us 6 hours and 30 minutes.

Ready to go.
(Note: That's Webster in the
background, not Jackson.)

Let's get going already!

Last half of descent was in the rain.

But it stopped just as we finished.
