Glencliff / Hurricane Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
No Fee Required.
This trailhead serves the Glencliff and Hurricane Trail. The trailhead is on the eastern side of the road just past a sign for the Glencliff trail (Appalachian Trail). From the trailhead you can either walk downhill on High St. to the Glencliff Trail or take the access trail provided behind gate at the end of the parking area to join the Glencliff Trail. There is an informational kiosk provided here but there are no other amenities. From here the Glencliff Trail gains the bald popular summit of Mt. Moosilauke in 3.9 miles. The Hurricane Trail ascends Hurricane Mountain and then descends to join the Moosilauke Carriage Rd. in 2.0 miles.
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
