Mount Clay

Mount Clay is a peak located in Thompson and Meserve's Purchase in Coos County in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It is a rise about 0.9-mile long and a few hundred feet tall, with summit elevation of 5,533 feet ; it lies on the ridge joining the summits of Mount Washington, about 0.9-mile to the south-southeast, with that of Mount Jefferson, about 1.3-mile north.

The Appalachian Trail, coinciding there with the Gulfside Trail, rises about a hundred feet approaching it northbound, and passes 0.1-mile from the summit, 200 feet below it. The 1.2-mile Mt. Clay Loop passes over the summit. The Jewell Trail is a popular choice as a relatively less strenuous route to Mt. Washington's summit; hikers ascending it, eastbound, from the vicinity of the cog rail base station join the Gulfside Trail about 0.4-mile from Clay's summit and about 200 feet below, and give up about 100 feet in descending the southern tail of Clay, before resuming the ascent of Washington.
