Description

Added by Danielle Tourigny

Mount Moosilauke Glencliff Loop shows off wildflowers and breathtaking scenery, making for a memorable hike through the Benton State Forest.

To get to the trailhead, take the 25N, turn right onto High Street and continue along this road until it comes to an end. The Mt Moosiulauke Glencliff Trail takes you through seven miles of forest and mountain scenery. The trail features impressive vistas and eye-catching wildflowers, which might even help you take your mind off the elevation gain. This particular trail is lightly trafficked, making it ideal for the hiker seeking some degree of solitude in the wilderness.

There are a few beautiful river crossings with bridges (one of which is right at the beginning of the trail and great for cooling off in the summer). There are also several very steep sections on loose rock. Views are definitely worth it though!

Note: Trail open May-October.

The hike is about 4 miles, mostly straight up hill for the first 3, but so very rewarding! Highly reccomend!

The trailhead is located along Lost River Road. There is a $5.00 day use parking pass required. The trail starts off on the Beaver Brook Trail (also the Appalachian Trail).

Photograph Fall Foliage on the Kancamagus Highway

Driving the Kancamagus Highway is something you can do as a way to cross the White Mountain National Forest quickly from I-93 in the east to Conway, or it can be an entire day's activity. In the fall, it's almost impossible not to stop at every turn-off on the scenic highway as it winds through the mountains beneath a covering of vibrant foliage. If you're starting from I-93, you'll access the ...

Flume Gorge Loop

The Flume Gorge in Franconia State Park is beautiful year round and every season has it's unique benefits. During the summer, the Flume is a highly frequented tourist destination and is usually crowded with groups of kids and families. Technically, the Gorge is closed during the winter and there are no shuttle buses from the entrance to where the trail begins, but it's a perfect opportunity for...

Franconia Notch Bike Path

For the point to point option first drop a car off at one end of the trail then return to the other. The south end is located at the Flume Gorge Parking lot and the north end is at a parking lot located about a half mile off Route 93, Exit 35 which takes you onto route 3 (44°12'11.3"N 71°40'51.7"W). Given the scenery of this ride, making it an 18 mile out and back route is also a great option....

Mt. Liberty and Liberty Springs Tentsite

Liberty Springs Trail is a moderately trafficked out and back trail in the heart of Franconia Notch State Park and the White Mountains. The trail is a part of the Appalachian Trail, which allows it to remain very well maintained throughout the year. The trail is listed as difficult and strenuous in many reviews, but I find this route to be an easier way up to the Franconia Ridge than the Old B...
