From the east, turn off NH 16 in Conway onto Kancamagus Highway (NH 112) and drive about 14.3 miles. From the west on I-93, take Exit 32 in Lincoln and drive about 21.8 miles on the Kancamagus.
You'll see a sign for the turn to the trailheads on the south side of the highway: the Downes Brook, UNH, and Mount Potash Trails. Turn here and drive into the large parking area. Look for the group of gay guys. :)
Trip Report/Photos
At the top, we had some clear views of the surrounding peaks. I commented on how I hiked Mt. Potash as part of the Get Fit series when I first joined GO. I recalled how several veteran hikers were able to name many of the surrounding peaks. Although I could not name all of them, it was nice to realize that I could recognize quite a few of them.
The group stopped in Lincoln and shared drinks and a lite meal at Gordis. I hope to see everyone again for the final two hikes in the GetFit series.
