 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I got dropped off on at the Dodge Rd trailhead. This is residential and parking would be roadside. The parking for the northern terminus on Brook Rd is two dirt lots with room for maybe a half dozen cars each. Roads are easily accessible. No cars at the southern trailhead and maybe a half dozen cars at the northern trailhead. |

Third and final hike of the day after Hooksett Pinnacle and the Pulpit Rock Trails. My parents were kind enough to drop me off at the southern trailhead after spotting my car at the northern trailhead which made this quick and easy. Though there were no views or anything particularly scenic about these trails, I enjoyed them as there were quite and easy walk, and went through "seas of rhododendrons" which seems to be a theme in SNH near Rhododendron State Park. Would be a great trail run. At times, there was very thin packed snow or just a dusting, and there were other (short) sections that were more dry. Definitely some icy spots unlike Hooksett Pinnacle but also less tempting to put on spikes unlike Pulpit Rock. I never threw them on and fell just maybe once or twice toward the end. Gaia had me at 4.25mi, about 350ft of gain, 1hr30min. |
