You will barely notice the walk uphill as you stare at the 80 foot rock walls around you and the water smashing on the rocks below. Starting from the gift shop you drop in elevation a bit, then climb about 360′ over half a mile. The up hill climbs are minimal, decking and bridges make up a large amount of the path. This is a tourist destination and is designed in a way that would allow the general population to fully access it. I will divide this hike into two sections: the way up and the way down, both are cool and unique. Here is some of what you need to know: Open May 5th October 22nd 8:30-5 pm, Check out their webpage for fees Significance:Water falls, Caves, Gorges THE FIRE TOWER PAGE The last bit of the trail will take us past glacial boulders which reminds me a lot of the hiking trails at Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia where you’d be running into these enormous boulders in the middle of the woods.Total Mileage: 2.3 Miles Directions 44.096855,-71.680813 Expect to get your hands and knees dirty. For the adventurous bunch, try the Wolf’s Den which is a narrow trench in between a few boulders. Take time at the two lookouts to admire the pool and the pine bridge before taking a walk along the bridge itself. When framed within the fall colors, an absolutely amazing view.
Did I mention the rain shelters along the way? These are three sided shelters with benches, accommodating about 8-10 people.Īlmost next to this great sight is the first sight of Sentinel Pine Bridge and the Pool. Take the side trail after the bridge to get a better view. The next money shot is Liberty Gorge, a tight hairpin turn overlooking a 100 foot drop water fall. Liberty Gorge, Sentinel Pine Bridge and The Pool The trail up to this point is wide and well worn, but I’d still would wear good shoes with traction such as trail running shows, or light hikers. Once you reach the top of the Flume, you can take the quick way back to the covered bridge or loop around Liberty Gorge where you can spot a few lookouts of the notch and Mount Liberty where the Appalachian Trail hikers need to pass. Great morning of #hiking nice start of the day with Flume Gorge #trailĪ post shared by Jim Cyr on at 10:31am PDT The gorge portion is absolutely fantastic as you walk along the stairs in between this 800 foot gorge 70-90 foot tall walls which narrows between 12-20 feet. There are plenty of stops along the way to learn about the ecosystem to catch your breath.Ĭrossing the covered bridge and past the old lodge (I’ll call it a lodge). But don’t worry, once you pass the table rock it slowly levels to an easy climb a short distance later once the stairs start to Avalanche Falls. The posted 2 mile loop trail up to the flume is moderate uphill that’s bound to get the heart rate going.
You might see the small tour bus on the right. Once you reach the outdoors again, you can start the hike by going uphill along your left. The ticket booth is your entrance and exit point as crowds are directed through the doors.
It is 16$ per adult to enter the flume gorge. Crossing the covered bridge at the flume gorge for a moderate uphill 😏 #hiking #newhampshireĪ post shared by Jim Cyr on at 4:37am PDT
