Mount Zealand, or Zealand Mountain, is a
White Mountains, in Grafton County, New Hampshire. Zealand stands on a spur ridge northeast of Mount Guyot, and facing Whitewall Mountain to the east across Zealand Notch
.
Zealand's south and northeast sides drain into the
Little River, thence into the Ammonoosuc and Connecticut rivers, reaching Long Island Sound in Connecticut
.
The Twinway, a section of the
National Scenic Trail from Georgia to Maine, crosses Zealand. Zealand is a popular hiking destination, with attractions including the Zeacliffs, on the eastern end of its ridgeline, just off the Appalachian Trail, offering dramatic views across Zealand Notch, to the Presidential and Willey Ranges and to Mount Carrigain, as well as Zealand Falls, for which a neighboring Appalachian Mountain Club
hut is named, also along the Appalachian Trail, near the notch and downhill to the north from Zeacliffs.
