The North Mountain Trail offers hikers an opportunity for solitude and spectacular views as it winds its way along the Great North Mountain. This 14.5-mile trail, though steep in places, is suitable for day hiking, backpacking, and horseback riding. The trail passes just below Elliot Knob, one of the highest points on the National Forest, offering an open, panoramic view of the Deerfield Valley.
