Distinctive Mount Jackson is located on the southwestern end of the Presidential Range in the White Mountains, New England’s most consequential mountaineering environment. Mount Jackson is not named for a president, but rather controversial 19th century geologist Charles Thomas Jackson. It is an excellent mountain hike. A five mile out and back trek with about 2,300 feet of elevation gain, it is one of the easiest four thousand footers in the White Mountains to climb. ~ Ron Chase
