Thornton, NH, Waterville Valley, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking up the ledges on the way to Fisher Mountain
Route: Forest Road 23, Forest Road 23C, Forest Road 23D, unnamed trail, (Fisher Mountain), unnamed trail, Forest Road 23D, Forest Road 23C, Forest Road 23
Fisher Mountain is located next to Welch-Dickey and has an unofficial herd path up it. Lots of ledge views, very few people.
Trail was mostly dry and in good shape. Forest roads are a bit grown in now with brush, so it would be a car wash on a wet day. Ledges on trail were mostly dry, with the exception of a few midway up, which had to be carefully crossed. Found a few decent patches of blueberries...left no trace of them.

Directions to trailhead: From Route 175 in Thornton, take Mill Brook Road. Near the end of the road, the gated Forest Road 23 will be on the left. There is some room to park prior to the gate without obstructing access. On foot, take Forest Road 23, then bear right onto Forest Road 23C. Prior to reaching Shattuck Brook, take a left onto Forest Road 23D. An obscure logging road departs at the end of the short Forest Road 23D.
