Nestled in the heart of the White Mountains, the Imp Trail in Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire, offers hikers a rewarding adventure through forests and rocky terrain. This 6.5mile loop trail includes an elevation gain of around 2,100 feet. The trail's highlight is Imp Face, a striking rocky outcrop/cliff providing panoramic views of the Presidential Range, including the iconic Mount Washington.

We hiked the loop clockwise Parking the truck at the southern Imp Trailhead and then walking north on Route 16 to the northern Imp Trailhead and beginning the hike there. From the northern trailhead, the Imp Trail ascends just over two miles to the Imp Face/Cliff. From the Imp Face, the trail continues to climb more gently and makes its way to the intersection with the North Carter Trail in about a mile. From there, the Imp Trail descends about three miles to the southern Imp Trailhead.

The total hike is about 6.5 miles in length with the roadwalk and there's about 2,100 feet of elevation gain along the way. The hike is generally moderate, though there are a few steep climbs as you go up to the Imp Face.

Important Hiking Considerations:
1. Weather: Check the weather forecast before your hike and be prepared for changes in conditions.
2. Safety: Some sections of the trail can be steep and rocky, so use caution and watch your footing.
3. Leave No Trace: As with any outdoor activity, remember to follow the principles of Leave No Trace. Pack out any trash, stay on the trail, and be respectful of the natural environment.
