Hanover might be home to an ivy-league school but for those not enrolled the draw here is what lies beyond campus, namely the wild woodlands and wandering rivers within easy reach of town.
This trail starts in Dolly Copp Campground. Hikers should park at the Visitor Center Parking Area. The long, hard climb is definitely not recommended as a route up Mt. Madison unless you are an experienced hiker. There is a long open stretch exposed to the elements.
