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.
An easy, well-marked, loop trail leads to the "Imp Profile” which is visible from Rt.16 and Dolly Copp Campground. Excellent views of the Presidential Range are available from the rocky "face”. Start the hike opposite the Dolly Copp Picnic Area on Rt. 16, following the Imp Trail signs ascend to the profile (2.2mi. – 2 hr.). Continue another 0.9 miles to the North Carter Trail junction and another 2.3 miles back to Rt. 16, about 0.2 miles south of the starting point.
We offer a compact version of Go-Newhampshire for mobile users, allowing you to access just the information you need on the road. Of course, you can still use the full version of Go-Newhampshire on your mobile device just as you can on your desktop.
