Favorite mountains are plentiful in New Hampshire. They are all shapes and sizes like Mount Monadnock in the south, South Baldface in the east, Mount Adams in the Presidentials. All of these have a timberline, with endless vistas above it.

Then there is Mount Cardigan (3,149 feet) in the west. It is part of the exclusive club of modest peaks with a low timberline because of historical fires, in this case a fire in 1855.
