The White Dot Trail is Mount Monadnock’s most popular and direct route to the summit, beginning at Monadnock State Park Headquarters. Gaining about 1,800 feet over 1.8 miles, it’s a steep, rocky climb featuring forest paths, ledges, and scrambles. Often combined with the White Cross Trail to form a loop, it’s a favorite among hikers for its challenge and views. Around the 0.6-mile mark, it intersects the White Cross Trail, but several other trails also connect along the way, allowing for customized loops and varied routes. Its popularity means it can be crowded, especially on weekends, but the sweeping summit views and trail flexibility make it a classic New Hampshire hike.
