The trail up the Hancocks consists of an easy woodland walk followed by a very steep circuit hike. We elected to hike counter clockwise first up South Hancock and then to North Hancock. As often happens, with us, we are very slow on steep descents. Hiking down the trail down North Hancock was no exception. We passed by only three hikers all day. This is a hike only for peak-baggers. The views are unremarkable and the steep sections are difficult but not exceptionally so.
Distance: 9.8 miles, Climb 2650 ft; Elevation North 4420ft; South 4319ft.
