Mt Rowe is on the Belknap Range and is part of the Belknap 12 Hiking list that earns you a patch for hiking all 12. This mountain was # 7 for us. It is considered an unexciting hike as access is via a service road to a cell tower. We tried to make the hike more interesting by looking at the history of the mountain and trying to find remnants from the past. We did find the Rockin' Rowe Geocache. It was the first mountain in the east to have a chair lift, plus there are 4 ski jumps on the mountain side.
We did post a video of the day's adventure for anyone who might be interested in seeing it. Just follow the link. |
