Randolph Mountain Club - The RMC Trail System

The RMC Trail System

Home to the Randolph Mountain Club is the valley bounded by the north slope of the Presidential Range and the south slope of the Crescent Range in beautiful New Hampshire. These are some of the highest peaks in the Northeast, and are at the heart of the northern half of the White Mountain National Forest.

Traveling through the heart of the White Mountain National Forest, US Route 2 bisects Randolph valley, and offers outstanding views of the rugged Presidential Range, including Mounts Madison, Adams, Jefferson and Washington-- the famed "Home of the World's Worst Weather."

Crisscrossing the Crescent and Presidential Ranges are 100 miles of trails maintained by the RMC. The RMC trail system is one of the densest and most interesting trail systems in the country, offering short walks to lovely cascades, waterfalls, ledges and viewpoints, pleasant and relaxing forest paths, as well as the challenges of the mighty Presidentials.

The RMC offers members and friends a free hiker's logbook for recording a challenging feat; hiking all 100+ miles of RMC trails. If you have completed your logbook, please send us a photo and you'll appear on The RMC 100 Wall of Fame!
