We climed Shawnee Peak on my birthday. It was 2.5 miles up to the top, where there is a fire-watch tower. It's a 1500 ft. accent total. It started out as kind of a trainwrek; we couldn't find the entrance to the trail. When we did, we ended up on the wrong trail, a logging road that was nothing but shredded trees and mosquitos (of course, we forgot the mosquito spray).
We almost gave up, but found the right trail and up we went. Boy are we glad we didn't quit! We were rewarded with a challanging climb up a granite watershed, and a spectacular view at the top. Mt. Washington could be seen looming over the White Moutain range at the top.
