Mount Madison is a mountain in the Presidential Range of New Hampshire in the United States. It is named after the fourth U.S. President, James Madison. Mountains in the Presidential Range are named for U.S. presidents, with the tallest (Mt. Washington) named for the first president, the second tallest (Mt. Adams) for the second president, and so on. However due to a surveying error, Mt. Monroe, named after the fifth President, James Monroe, is actually taller than Mt. Madison. There are many hiking trails on the mountain. A stretch of the Appalachian Trail traverses just below its summit on the Osgood Trail. The Madison Spring Hut, maintained by the Appalachian Mountain Club, is nestled between Mount Madison and Mount Adams and provides rustic lodging in the summer. Reservations generally need to be made far in advance. Mount Madison is the northernmost peak in the Presidentials. Like most of the range, its summit is above treeline. Due to high winds and low temperatures, hypothermia is a danger even in the summer. ==Gallery== Mt Madison from Mt Adams summit.jpg|Mount Madison seen from Mount Adams' summit File:MtMadisonNH.jpg|Mount Madison from Mount Adams File:William Hart - Mount Madison from the Androscoggin River.jpg|''Mount Madison from the Androscoggin River,'' by William Hart 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Madison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
