Cates Pond is a beaver bog located just off the Jesus Valley Rd in West Alton -Pine Mt is just a few miles from the tip of Alton Bay, just off the Alton Mt Rd - it has Alton's 2nd best view of Winnipesaukee and of most mountains within a 180 degree radius. Near the top is an old blueberry pasture which assures the excellent views - a couple of trails, each about a mile long provide access to the view site. The property was recently bought by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, who now provide access to this 400+ acre property, which for a long, long time has not been available for public use. Mt Major's view is probably a little better than Pine Mts, but Pine Mt can show you scenes that Major can not, like a view of all of the mountains of the southern half of the Belknaps, and many mountains to the west that are not visible from Major.
