Join us for this beautiful 5 mile loop hike over the summits of West and East Rattlesnake Mountains, and then on to five finger point. Total elevation gain for the whole hike is less than 1000
...
Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at:
From the intersection of Rt 3 and Rt 113 in Holderness, NH, take Rt 113 about 5 miles and then make a right onto Pinehurst Rd (Google Map "Pinehurst Rd, Holderness, NH"). Pinehurst Rd is about 0.5 miles before the parking areas for West Rattlesnake and Mt. Morgan. If you reach these two parking areas, you have gone to far and missed Pinehurst Rd. Once on Pinehurst Rd go a little less than a mile and park in a parking area on the right side of the road right before the "no parking behind these signs" sign for Rockywold and Deephaven camps.
Trip Report/Photos
Thanks to everyone that came out to join us on an overcast day with some rain in the morning. There were 10 of us that joined, and we made up for the dreary weather with fun and great conversation. After a half mile steep climb to West Rattlesnake, we enjoyed the views, and then continued to East Rattlesnake where we had lunch. Then down to five finger point and several beaches along Squam lake. A couple guys were tempted to get in the water, which probably would have happened if it hadn't been so cold. Afterward we went out for adult beverages at Walter's Basin where the conversation continued. Overall a great day despite the less than stellar weather.
