    Mount Pierce is a mountain in the

    White Mountains of New Hampshire that is approximately 4,310 feet (1,310 m) high. Formerly called Mount Clinton for 19th-century governor DeWitt Clinton of New York,[4] in 1913 it was renamed after President Franklin Pierce (1804–1869), the only president born in New Hampshire, although it was several decades before the name was widely recognized.[5]
    Its summit offers a wide view of New Hampshire's mountains.

    The shortest trail route to the summit of Pierce is from a parking lot to the west of the mountain on Mount Clinton Road just off
