Welch-Dickey Loop

The weather on Saturday was absolutely perfect for viewing the panoramic scenery offered by this loop trail. Clear sunny skies allowed the group to absorb the breath taking views from many miles away. The hike was a good mix of moderate to strenuous inclines elevating one's heart rate without being too terribly taxing. 

We had a full group in that everyone that signed up made the trip. We took a lunch break at the summit of Welch   and then proceeded towards Dickey on our way back to our starting point. Back at the trail head we decided to head off to the Country Cow for some drinks and good food. This was a very fun and memorable trip. I wish to thank everyone who came along. A special thanks to those who remembered to bring a camera to record the fantastic views.  

Please join me in hiking this very popular moderate to challenging 4.4 mile trail loop located at the gateway to the beautiful Waterville Valley area of New Hampshire. Your reward for making the 1,600 foot elevation climb will be excellent breath taking views.  We'll meet at the trail head off Orris Road at 10:30 AM sharp. Bring lots of H2O, sunscreen and insect repellant. Include a brown bag lunch as we'll break for lunch when we reach the summit.  RAIN CANCELS THE TRIP.

For those signed up for my kayak the Pemi River on Sunday, July 3, you may wish to consider spending the weekend at a local campground or motel. Contact me for suggestions.
