A beginner- intermediate hike with Aly, great preparation for hiking the Whites.

On this trip we will hike North Mountain via the North Mountain loop trail. The scenery and terrain is extremely varied. Right at the start is a large cellar hole, then a section of woods, some swampland and Round Pond. And then a short rocky bit where we pass Devil’s Den. There is also a small section of road before we come to the boulder fields. Here, you’ll see boulders 20 ft high, this is a great spot to pause and reflect. About 3/4 quarters of the way in, we will reach a granite slab where we can have a short half hour yoga practice, and then finish out the rest of the hike. We should still be able to catch the foliage, and there are some spectacular views along the way!

Cost is $35

5.0 miles, 862 ft elevation gain
