Black Cap Trail Head — Attraction in Conway

Wonderful views! However, the "easy hike" description and words like "family" and "small children" need clarification.

We will be doing this hike everytime we return to...

Hiked here on a rainy Christmas Day 2020- there was no one in site and there was beautiful rainy silence. The forest surrounding the trail is so sacred, you can tell by the thriving moss and trees. When we got to the top we had no idea what to expect, so it was a delightful surprise to see the white mountains. It was one of the greatest hikes I’ve been on in the north east usa- I especially enjoyed the look out area as it was covered in boulders to explore. Each boulder has its own view of the mountain. My doggie loved it too! It’s truly a...
