| Comments: |
The Old Mast--Walden route is a great alternative to the Dicey's Mill trail. I highly recommend it. The trails are in good condition and there is a lot of solitude. There are 400 extra feet elevation gain over Dicey's Mill due to the two peaks that you pass over on the way to Passaconaway. Combining that route with Dicey's Mill makes for a great loop. |
