By popular demand, we'll be offering a repeat of our last fall foliage hike in NH. Our route will start near Castle in the Clouds and take us on a 10 mile trek to stop at 3 outlooks with amazing, and different views, followed by a brook walk featuring 7 waterfalls.

Our planned route will be approximately 10 miles, and total elevation gain for the day will be around 1,200 feet. We will be taking a leisurely pace, stopping for water/food breaks often. Most sections of trail are wide, well maintained, and the main ascent rarely goes above a 6% grade. It's an old carriage road with plenty of switchbacks to keep it from getting too steep, a rare trail feature in NH. On easier sections, we'll be aiming for 30 minute miles.

Plan to be out for approximately 6 1/2 hours, including stops. The challenge rating for this hike is Moderate. The trail, terrain and climbing are not difficult but the distance could be a challenge for someone who doesn't walk very much.
