The Welch-Dickey loop trail hike is the ideal Spring warm-up hike for two big reasons: It is among the first of the trails in NH's White Mountains to be clear of snow and ice in the spring;
We will meet at the trailhead parking lot. To get there from I-93, get off at exit 28 (Campton/Waterville Valley) and go east on Rt. 49 (also known as the Mad River Road). As you make the turn, and if it is a clear day, you should see the open ledges of Welch-Dickey looming ahead of you. Go east on Rt 49 towards those mountains. At approximately 4.5 miles after you pass the Campton Dam (there is a traffic light there, as this is the junction with Rt. 175), turn left onto Upper Mad River Road. At 0.7 miles turn right onto Orris Rd., where you should see a sign directing you to the Welch-Dickey trailhead. At 0.6 miles, Orris Road makes a sharp turn to the left, and the trailhead parking will be on your right. We will be driving a red Rav4, with NH plates.
