| Comments: |
This was a tough hike! The Walden trail is steep and rocky and not for a novice hiker. Not the best way to ascend Passaconoway but we were looking for something other than Dicey's Mill, which is overall rather dull, and we had already done Whiteface and the Rollins Trail. So be warned ! |
