I would rank this trail technical beginner but the
climb up has some steep switchbacks. It takes
you through some of the most beautiful pine in the
White Mountains.

This trail is easy enough, but if you bring a beginner they will need to be in shape because there is a fairly long up hill section (not steep just long).
