Mt. Whiteface, Mt. Passaconaway
Albany, NH, Sandwich, NH, Waterville Valley, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The lower Blueberry Ledge Trail
Route: Blueberry Ledge Trail, Rollins Trail, (Mt. Whiteface), Rollins Trail, Dicey Mill Trail, (Mt. Passaconaway), Dicey Mill Trail
With yet another mediocre forecast, we decided to stay south. This ended up working decently, as we had partly sunny skies at the start of the day and some views from South Whiteface. The scramble ledges on the Blueberry Ledge Trail were nicely filled in and not particularly icy, resulting in decent snowshoeing. The Dicey Mill water crossing was open, but rock hoppable.
