Max # People: 12

Trip Guiding / Event Fee: No, I will not be asking participants for money

Difficulty Level: Moderate

The hike is 4 1/2 miles long with 1850 feet of elevation gain and showcases everything the White Mountains have to offer: steep slopes, open ledges, a rocky scramble, woodland trails, but all in ...
Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at: We will meet at the parking lot for the Welch-Dickey trail. We will start moving at 9:30AM, so give yourself extra time to arrive and prepare. Directions from I-93 are as follows: Take Exit 28 (Campton/Waterville Valley) and head east on Rt. 49, the Mad River Road. In about a mile you will reach a traffic light at the intersection of Rt. 49 and Rt. 175. The Campton dam will be on your right, and the ledges of Welch-Dickey will be visible straight ahead from here. Go through the traffic light, staying on Rt. 49, and in about 4.5 miles turn left onto Upper Mad River Road (crossing the Mad River on a bridge as you do so). Stay on this road as it winds, and in 0.7 mile turn right onto Orris Road. There will be a sign here for the Welch-Dickey trail, so you can't miss it. Stay on Orris for about 0.6 mile and enter the parking lot on the right.
