Mount Pierce stands at 4,310 feet and is toward the southern end of the Presidential Range. From its summit, you get sweeping views north toward Mount Eisenhower and Mount Washington from a mix of alpine scrub and rocky ledges. Named after Franklin Pierce, the only U.S. president from New Hampshire, it’s a must stop if tagging all the peaks along on the Presidential Traverse, or those looking for a challenging day hike.

walking on the "Presidential Range", expect to find the names of the presidents of the United States.
This peak, which was once called Clinton, was renamed Mount Pierce.
To reach it the steep Crawford trail awaits you.
