It was a great day to take this version of Devil's Den off the To DO List, there are a lot of them in NH. Walking along the road there are some old foundations from days gone by. We also passed by a Beaver pond complete with Beaver Den. Once we arrived at the trail head it was only a 1/2 mile hike to the cave itself. You might have to look around for it, didn't seem very well marked. We entered through the bottom of the cave. Very cool cave to explore. Make sure you have flashlights if you do this adventure. The ladder inside the cave is unusable, but one of our friends still made it to the top anyway. The rest of us walked around to the top and explored it more. There were limited views of Mount Copple Crown and Mount Caverly. Over all it was a great day! We did post a video of our adventure on YouTube for anyone who might be interested in what the hike was like. Just click the link... |
