Glen Boulder

This adventure will actually begin at the start of the Direttissima. Following the contour of the slope will meet up with the Glen Boulder Trail. At this point will be a fair consistent climb up to the tree line. At tree line the climb will continue but not as steep as the first portion.  The destination is the Boulder perched on the hillside. If group approves and weather permits continuing upward to the Gulf of Slides is possible.  This hiking experience is rated in the moderate category. Although a short hike the trail is fairly steep.  There are no dangerous ledge crossings or drop offs.  There are few seasonal brook crossings.  This trail does break tree line, standard hiking gear is always recommended, there are NO filtered water sources on this trail please plan accordingly.

Pets – This trail is NOT ideal for some pets. Steep terrain and narrow passing can be difficult with pets..  

Pinkham Notch Visitor Center (AKA Base Camp) has supplies and locker rooms. Located far from towns I would suggest you plan ahead regarding supplies or food. Prices can be steep! Bag lunch at the PNVC is approx $10.

Accommodations – PNVC does have lodging @ Joe Dodge Lodge – www.outdoors.org  for reservations and information.

Many camp grounds, motels, condos located on both North and South end of route 16.

BACK YARD CAMPING! My home and yard are available for camping or floor space. Email me for more information, there is no cost for this. HOWEVER 3 cats do reside and tend to rule the roost.
