The trip report

It was great weather for a hike with great company. We did a Mt. Faraway and Mt. Roberts 8.5 mile loop hike. The hike used the Cold Spring Road (at least 0.5 mi.), the Cold Spring Trail (1.3 mi), part of the Faraway Mt. Trail (1.7 mi.), the High Ridge Trail (2 mi.) and the Mt Roberts Trail (2.5 miles) hiking from the parking lot to the trailheads and back (0.6 mi.) for a total hike distance of approximately 8.5 miles. Most of the trail were old carriage roads. Part of the Mt Roberts Trail was a footpath. (davetb)

About this event

Please join me for my annual NH spring hike, still in the Ossipee Mtns but this year hiking to the 2582' summit of Mt Roberts.  We'll hike up to the east of the peak and aproach it from the north; then descend via a series of ledges with spectacular views of Lake Winnipesaukee.  Total walking distance should be 6+ miles, total elevation gain around 1500'.  Please bring water, snacks + lunch; wear sturdy walking shoes/boots and clothing appropriate for the weather conditions that day.

I would be interested in car pooling if anyone is going through Manchester, NH going up I-93 N off of exit 8 or a little further north.
