The trip report

Written by tdefauw · last updated by a member on Jul 16, 2018

Thanks for running this very enjoyable trip. The next day, Sunday, I hiked up Mt. Israel in sandwich and made it into an 8.5 mile loop hike. Great hiking weekend!

16 of us had a great time doing a loop hike to Mt. Roberts at Castle in the Clouds.  All the stars were aligned as it was a great summer day, slightly overcast but in the 70s, and we had a great group of guys and great conversation.    We did the 2.5 miles up the Mt. Roberts trail, picking and eating blueberries and raspberries on the way, and enjoying great views of Lake Winnepesaukee.  We had lunch at the summit, however we couldn't see Mt. Washington that day as it was in the clouds.  After lunch we did the 6 miles down the carriage roads, a longer way down but easy walking.  .Afterwards we went to the Carriage House at the Castle where we enjoyed beverages, great views of Lake Winnesaukee from the patio, and more great conversation.    Thanks to all the guys that joined, and hope to see you soon an another outdoor adventure.

About this event

Join us for a loop hike to Mt Roberts at Castle in the Clouds property.   This hike is about 8 miles with 1200 feet of elevation gain.   On the way up we will do the Mount Roberts trail with great views of Lake Winnepesaukee up to the summit, about 2.5 miles, where we will have lunch.   There are good views of the presidential range from the summit.    On the way down, we will descend by carriage roads via the High Ridge trail, Faraway Mountain trail, Cold Spring Trail, and Cold Spring Rd.  Afterwards, we might either have beverages at the Castle, or perhaps ice cream at Cones in the Clouds!
