Description:


Cross two 4k footers of your list by exploring Mount Whiteface and Passaconway. This loop will be 11.4 miles and book time is 9 hours with 4,000 ft of elevation gain. We will take the Dicey's Mill Trail up to Whiteface summit then Rollins Trail to Passaconway summit and back down Dicey's Mill Trail towards the trailhead. The summits are wooded, but there are several viewpoints along the way that offer great views of the surrounding mountains.


Note: Only sign up for the hike if you know you can go on the hike. Signing up for the hike then flaking at the last minute can impact another person's ability to join the adventure. Signing up then flaking last minute will impact your ability to sign up for future adventures. Drivers will be compensated for gas and travel by driving riders to and from the trailhead. Thank you so much for making these adventures possible!
