Mount Chocorua Scenic Area, New Hampshire – Mount Chocorua is not a roadside attraction and requires photographers to hike a number of miles before reaching the summit. With numerous trails leading to Mount Chocorua, it is best you pick up a trail map and decide what route you want to hike. If you are not interested in hiking to the summit, you can also photograph Mount Chocorua from Chocorua Lake. Chocorua Lake is easy to access from along Route 16.
Though the bald rocky summit of Mount Chocorua offers 360 degree views of New Hampshire and beyond, I think the Middle Sister Trail is the best option for landscape photographers. The view of Mount Chocorua from Middle Sister Trail is awesome! There is also remnants of a stone fire tower along the trail that was in operation from 1927-1948. The Middle Sister Trail is also a little less crowded.
Give yourself a full day to photograph and explore the Mount Chocorua Scenic Area. And if you are up for a great adventure this is an excellent location to photograph and watch the sunset from.
