Great day for a hike! Nice and cool start in the morning, the wind picked up just enough to make it a little chilly but not too bad. Trails are in great shape, no obstacles.
Started around 6 AM from the parking lot, hiked up to the trailhead off squirrel bridge Road. Some of the blueberry bushes are starting to bloom, little later than where I live in the southern part of the state got to the summit around nine, Whiteface had beautiful views. Took a little break and then headed over to Passaconaway. No views from the summit of Passaconaway, but there is a spur you can hike down to that we decided not to go to. Hiked down through dicey Mill, and went through the old growth forest. I’ve never hiked here before and it was quite a treat seeing some massive trees that we don’t really get to see in New England.
It was one small water crossing that was easily passable across a down tree. Made it back to the parking lot around 1:30 PM. I’d recommend getting there early. If you are planning to hike, there was plenty of parking when we arrived. But when we left, the parking lot was full and people were parking in the parking areas. |
