Eagle Cliff
Sandwich, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Eagle Cliff Trail cliffs section
Route: Eagle Cliff Trail, (Eagle Cliff), Eagle Cliff Trail
Eagle Cliff Trail to Eagle Cliff was virtually snow free (one very tiny, avoidable patch) and mostly dry, both via the cliffs route and the bypass. Squam Lake is still mostly covered in ice, making for an interesting contrast.
Lots of wildlife out at sunset, including turkeys gobbling near the ledge, a porcupine downclimbing a steep ledge backwards (neat to watch...used his/her tail to feel out each step), and a fox running alongside the road.
