🥾 The Trek —
Streaked Mountain gives off lovely Mt. Welch & Dickey vibes — although on a smaller scale!
You’re climbing a lot of slab exposed rock. It’s a bit of a thigh-burner, (but that’s great prep for bigger hikes!).
⚡ Pro tip: If it’s been rainy or looks slippery, come another day. You’ll want dry rock and clear skies to really enjoy it!
Even though you’re not in the Whites, you can see them — and it’s so worth it! Every time we turned around on the way up, the views were better.
At the top, you do have to share the summit with towers and power lines… but we found our own spot with the towers behind us and just soaked in the scenery.
In the distance, we spotted snow dusting the Presidentials, and Mt. Washington’s peak was tucked away in the clouds.
The combo of snow-capped mountains and lake made it easy to forget about the towers (mostly).
⭐️ Hike Rating — 7/10
(Fun workout + rewarding views, even with the towers!)

🍱 Post-Hike Eats —
We hit up Ninja Sushi — and trust us, don’t judge by the outside!
The building’s simple, but the inside was clean, stylish, and the food delivered.
🍹Drinks ~ Iced Thai Tea for everyone!
🍱 Bre’s Picks ~ Veggie Roll + Sweet Potato Roll
🍣 KK’s Picks ~ Miso Soup + Summer Roll with Lobster and Tuna…Finally lobster in Maine! 🦞 Now that’s a GF lobster roll!)
⭐️ Restaurant Rating — 8/10
(Unexpectedly good sushi spot after a mountain climb!)

💭Final Thoughts —
Streaked Mountain is a hidden gem for a quick but satisfying climb.
Big views, a solid leg workout, and a peaceful moment to soak in the snowy White Mountains (if you angle yourself away from the towers!).
Top it off with some fresh sushi and iced tea — and you’ve got yourself a mini Maine adventure to remember!
