Albany Mountain Trail is accessible from the Albany Notch Trail. It loops eastward off Albany Notch and climbs to Albany Mountain via a short spur trail. Heights from the spur trail are 1,930 feet which offer a beautiful overlook of the surrounding forest including Bald Faces and Mt. Washington. Some of the best views are visible from along the path rather than at the summit.

This trail is easily accessed from the Crocker Pond Campground. The trail is not heavily used; be sure to look for cairns that mark the trail, especially to the summit.
