Sphinx trail — photo spot in Randolph, NH 03593, USA
Sphinx trail
Short, rocky ridge hike in Randolph (White Mountain NF) leading to a sculpted granite outcrop called the Sphinx with expansive views of surrounding peaks and valleys. Prime for sweeping landscape and seasonal-color shots. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for directional light; fall and clear winter days offer dramatic vistas. Trail is moderate—rocky and sometimes steep—so wear sturdy shoes. Limited roadside parking at the trailhead on Route 2; no entry fee. Weekdays reduce crowds.
