Sunday looks to be beautiful with temperatures currently forecasted in the mid 80s. What a great opportunity for a hike! This is an easy to moderate hike. It should take about 2-3.5 hours. There are lots of views, so it'll depend on how many stops we make to take in the sights and take pictures. This will give us plenty of time to enjoy the hike. The hike according to AllTrails is 5.1 miles. Here's a link: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/new-hampshire/purgatory-falls-via-purgatory-brook-trail We'll meet at 11 and start the hike. Much of the hike will be by water. As a result, it can be buggy. Please BRING BUG SPRAY to have a better experience. I recommend one with deet. Most of the hike will be under the cover of the canopy, but I recommend sunscreen as well. During the hike we'll see three falls, Lower Purgatory Falls, Middle Purgatory Falls, and Upper Purgatory Falls. The first is the most popular. There may be families in the water. We can climb atop the falls to look down from above. We'll spend a few minutes here looking around. We'll then continue along the trail. There will be times the trail gets pretty narrow from overgrowth, but it's easily overcome. Middle Purgatory Falls is a bit harder to get to. We'll have to hike down into a rocky ravine to get to it. Then we'll move on to Upper Purgatory Falls. There's a nice rock landing at the base of the falls. We'll stop here for pictures and give folks time for snacks and lunch. Once we're done, we'll turn around and head on back from where we came. If anyone wants to go into the water while we're stopped at the falls, be sure to bring water shoes.

There is a small parking area at the trail head and some along the street. Let's meet here. In your GPS, please put in: Purgatory Brook Trail, Milford, NH
