Mt. Passaconaway Aug 18, 2005

On Hancock my back went out but walking improves my back and the summer days were dwindling so we opted for a moderate grade hike up Mt. Passaconaway. Dicey's Mill Trail up Passaconaway gets our vote as one of the best trails in the Whites. There are very few roots or rocks on the trail to pick you way over. The trail is moderate almost all ther way to the summit. The descent was very fast; in some ways it reminded me of coming off a mountain on snowshoes. Not many views but a wonderful hike. If my back wasn't hurting I would say a wonderful drive too. The countryside around the Sandwich Range is very pretty.

Distance: 9.2 miles; Climb: 2950 ft; Elevation: 4043 ft.
