Take the Tram to summit of Cannon Mountain, 4180' high. It's a seven minute ride. At summit follow the Kinsman Ridge Trail south to the trail that leads to the observation tower. Enjoy the Franconia Notch views at the many outlooks along the way. They are stunning and worth the $16.00 cost of the tram ride! When you reach the observation tower trail take the right up the trail. You'll immediately see a bench on the left then a water bar dug across the trail (drainage for when it rains). Look where the water bar leads to the left. You'll see lots of discarded branches closing off an old trail to a outlook facing west. Go down the trail, you may have to bushwhack a little. It will take you about a minute to get to the lookout. The trail turns right where you'll see a bench on the left. After the bench look around the slabs of granite. You'll find the letterbox behind the biggest slab in front of a cut off stump. After you find the letterbox continue up to the observation tower and enjoy 360° views of New Hampshire, Vermont and Canada. Did I say the views was stunning? You can take the short trail back to the tram station from the observation tower near the stairs and enjoy the view, and wait for the next tram to arrive. They also have a cafe there if you wish to eat. Great location to visit for a few hours even without the letterbox. Enjoy!!!!
