Looking almost directly north, over part of Black Point (lower right), and over Winnipesaukee (Wolfeboro Neck at lower left center) to several well-known (to hikers) peaks of the northernmost part of Carroll County, very close to the Maine border, north of N Conway. Kearsarge N is the best known of the peaks, with S Baldface probably next. It's 44 miles from Alton Mt to Kearsarge and 52 miles to S Baldface. Bartlett Mt is really a SW shoulder of Kearsarge. Sable and Chandler run SW toward the town of Bartlett. Huge fires, decades ago, burned off the vegetation and damaged the soils of S Baldface, and now its southern slope and its peak have very little live growth - this makes it a very fine peak for long views in all directions.
