The Wisconsin glacier broke off the east shoulder of Ragged Mountain some 20,000 years ago. Today, this granite outcropping, known as The Bulkhead, is a destination for campers, rock-climbers and those looking for spectacular vistas to the east and south. A hike to The Bulkhead takes approximately 90 minutes. From here, one can see Proctor's campus, Elbow Pond, The Proctor Ski Area and Mount Kearsarge.
