Elevation: 4,180 feet (1,270 meters) Prominence: 1,320 feet (400 meters) Location: Waterville Valley, NH (Grafton County, USA) Range: Sandwich Range Coordinates: 43°58.40' North     71°26.57' West Rating: Moderate with some difficult parts Features: Sabbaday Falls, Sandwich Wilderness Area, Brooks, Cascades, Peak Bagging Distance of highlighted hike below: 11 miles with Middle Tripyramid Mountain

North Tripyramid Mountain is a 4,180 foot mountain in the Sandwich Range of the White Mountains in Waterville Valley. Scaur Peak and The Fool Killer are other peaks to the Northwest and Northeast of the mountain. South Tripyramid Mountain is Southwest of North Tripyramid Mountain, though well over 4,000 feet, it is not considered an official New Hampshire 4,000 footer because of its low prominence (under 200 feet is too low). Middle Tripyramid Mountain is roughly 0.7 miles away, so one can hike both Tripyramid Mountains in one day by peak bagging.

The map below shows how to get to the summit of North Tripyramid Mountain as well as Middle Tripyramid Mountain.

There are 2 trails you can choose to start and end at: Pine Bend Brook Trail and Sabbaday Brook Trail. Both begin on Route 112. (Sabbaday Falls parking lot has plenty of parking spaces, unlike the Pine Bend Brook parking area where you just park on the side of Route 112.) These directions are starting from Pine Bend Brook Trail:

Hike for 3.2 miles on the Pine Bend Brook Trail until you come to a junction with the Scaur Ridge Trail. Stay straight to continue along the Pine Bend Brook Trail for another 0.8 miles until you reach the summit of North Tripyramid Mountain. (This mountain does not have very good views as this area is not above tree line. There is also no summit sign, so you might go right past it and not even know it.) From the summit, continue for 0.7 miles passing a junction of Sabbaday Brook Trail after 0.5 miles until you are on the summit of Middle Tripyramid Mountain. (Again, there is no sign indicating you are on the summit, but there is a nice bare rock to sit or stand on with great views. To start your descent down, you will retrace your steps back for 0.3 miles until you are back at the Sabbaday Brook Trail junction. Take that right for 4.6 miles (you will cross the Sabbaday Brook several times closer to the end) until you reach the stunning Sabbaday Falls. After you have stopped to look at the falls, continue down the Sabbaday Brook Trail for another 0.3 miles until you reach the parking area. From there, turn left onto Route 112 and walk for 1 mile until you reach the area you parked.
