Amphibrach is a 3.8-mile out-and-back hike in the Androscoggin Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. The trail rises from about 1,500 feet to a high point of 2,927 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,495 feet. The climb is front-loaded, and the steepest stretch comes at about 1.2 miles in, where the grade reaches 22 percent. The route is natural-surface and allows bikes, and it is not an accessible trail. The trip takes about two hours, and the trail is open year-round. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Pinkham Notch weather station, which sits about 900 feet lower, show July highs around 75°F with lows near 53°F. Winter is cold, with January highs around 26°F. Sylvan Way and Beechwood Way both start about 0.1 mile away. Barnes Field Campground and the Pine Mountain climbing area are each about 4 miles off.
