Coppermine Trail to Bridal Veil Falls
Details
Unfortunately the planned hike for today, Mt Livermore Loop via Brooks Fisher Trail, has been canceled because the trail has been closed by the Squam Lake Association due to mud season. So this is an alternate hike.
The hike to Bridal Veil Falls via the Coppermine Trail is a beautiful and gentle 2.5 miles each way along a stream to Bridal Veil Falls. The falls is beautiful in winter with the ice, but the falls could also be raging today due to the recent warm temperatures. There is also a plaque put up by Bette Davis in honor of one of her husbands.
We will meet at the trailhead at 11. In case anyone hasn't received the communication, we will also meet at 10 at Holderness Central School and drive over. Please let me know where you're going to meet us. If everyone is meeting us at the trailhead, then we won't go over to Holderness Central School first. Also, if you need to cancel, that's completely understandable, but please let me know if possible.
Directions
To meet us at the trailhead in Franconia at 11 am, google map "Coppermine Trail, Coppermine Rd, Franconia, NH".
In case anyone has not received the communication about the change in hike today, we can also still meet at the parking lot at Holderness Central School (google map "Holderness Central School, School Rd, Holderness, NH") and then drive the 45 minutes over to the trailhead in Franconia.

Event discussion
The trail we were going to do is closed for mud season. My thought is to still meet at Holderness Central School at 10 and go do an alternate hike. I'll post back by 7 or 7:30 with an update on what hike.
Two possibilities are 3-3.5 miles each way on carriage roads at Castle in Clouds to Turtleback Mountain or Bald Knob, or the Coppermine Trail to Bridal Veil Falls in Franconia.
You can still meet us at Holderness Central School at 10 and then we'll drive over (about 45 minutes).
Or you can meet us at the trailhead at 11 am. Google map "Coppermine Trail, Coppermine Rd, Franconia, NH".
If possible respond and let me know where to expect each of you. Of course, if you need to cancel, that's perfectly understandable.
