Chocorua mtn NH

 This is a nice hike. The Champney Falls trail to Chocorua mountain. Lots of nice waterfalls and a large open rock area at and around the top. It is 3500 feet but feels like an above tree line mountain. This isn't far away from Whiteface where I was yesterday. I could see Chocorua from Whiteface and today we could see Whiteface and Pasaconoway. This mountain has 360 views so you could see mount Washington and many other peaks in the area. Trail was good but more wet and muddy than yesterday. But with all the rain wet and muddy is to be expected. 7.5 miles RT.

Falls off 112:

Whiteface, East Sleeper NH

 Went to the Ferncroft trailhead and the Blueberry Ledge trail. It has a rained a lot lately, including 1-2 inches the day before, but this trail was in great shape. Dry for the most part and the steep ledges up higher were dry rock. Nice sunny day which was great since it has been a while. After the top of Whiteface I went on a seldom used trail to East Sleeper. This is a 3,855 foot mountain. No views but getting there was interesting. Lots of moose poop on the trail and a swamp/pond area up at 3500 feet. This trail (Kate Sleeper Trail) eventually goes to Tripyramid. A rough trail with lots of downed trees  A long hike at 11 miles RT but nice day to be out there. The rivers I went by were running high!
