"Beautiful day with minimal cloud cover. A little humid in the morning but that cleared up in the afternoon. Set off from the Whitehouse Trailhead just after 8:45am. The Whitehouse Trail covers about a half-mile of a relatively flat forest path before connecting with the Franconia Notch Bike Path. Right at the intersection with the Bike Path is a small unofficial trail which has an overlook of the Pemigewasset River. After following the Bike Path over a bridge, the Liberty Spring Trail splits off and begins a moderate rocky ascent with one large switchback. This continues for about a half-mile before the intersection with the Flume Slide Trail. The Flume Slide Trail is very mild for the first 2.5 miles, rising only 900 feet. There are several brook crossings, and it was cool to know that all of those brooks eventually reached the Flume and Liberty Gorges which I had visited numerous times as a kid. After one crossing the forest suddenly changed from a bright, primarily deciduous collection of trees to a much darker evergreen section. Soon after, I reached the beginning of the steep uphill climb. The 4-mile approach to the Slide took me roughly 2 hours. There is about a quarter-mile ..." — JCalautti • Jul 20, 2024

"A hike for a Calendar Day. Headed up Liberty and Flume. The river crossing wasn't bad. I used microspikes to cross the icy rocks. Made my way up Liberty Springs Tr and found more significant snow and ice about .25 miles below Liberty Springs Tentsite. I reached the summit of Liberty, then headed over to Flume. Beautiful day for both peaks. Headed out the way I went in. " — newenglandwarrior • Dec 22, 2023

"Did a Semi-Pemi Loop backpack from the Lincoln Woods Trailhead up the Ossetian Trail and along the AT. Camped at Liberty Springs continued along the AT to Garfield summit and then down the Franconia Brook Trail to camp at 13 Falls then back down the Lincoln Woods trail. Nine summits in total with 26 miles and 6,800 feet of elevation gain. A three day trip" — Zardoz • Sep 6, 2023

"Went up the Osseo trail, which is a very fine trail for the White Mts. A little gray but warm. As soon as we summitted, lots of clouds streamed in quickly. Showers chased us down the mountain." — Alohabuffy • Jun 15, 2023

"Pemi Loop. 20 hrs, 2 minutes. 4 of us. Flume was the first peak, Bondcliff the last. We also threw in Galehead and West Bond for 10 peaks total. Got some blisters out of this hike. Glad to have finally done one. " — newenglandwarrior • Jul 1, 2022

"First Mt. In Franconia Ridge from Osseo trail. Maryellen, Nancy, Chris, Eric, Diane, Matthew, and Tina. Bugs were out in full! Big elevation gain at the start. Nice rock edge near the top!" — lfrancois • Jun 24, 2022

"The last day of the year. I did an out and back on Liberty and Flume. I was amazed that I made it to Liberty without needing spikes. Not the best weather for views today. Heavy cloud cover." — newenglandwarrior • Dec 31, 2020

"I went for Liberty and Flume today. I was surprised I was able to make my way up Liberty without spikes. I put them on when heading over to Flume. I made excellent time coming back out. Some more Grid peak gains. I am now at 45 for November. " — newenglandwarrior • Nov 27, 2020

"Hiked up via Lincoln Woods to Osseo Trail to Franconia Ridge to Flume summit. Then over to Mount Liberty summit. From Liberty hiked down Liberty Springs Trail to the Basin parking lot. This was my number 47 and 48 out of 48 NH 4000 Footers. I was joined by friends Polly, Scott, and John. It was a rare warm early Fall day. The autumn colors are really coming through now." — dmcosker • Sep 26, 2020

"Spotted a car and went up from Lincoln Woods to Osseo. Steady incline on Osseo. The stairs were interesting and steep. Stunning summit views on both Flume and Liberty. The hike between Flume and Liberty was steeper and more rugged than expected. Liberty Spring Trail felt like it took forever to descend it. It took 9 hours in total time and we marched 10.8 miles. 61 degrees when we started and finished with 73 degrees. Awesome views with a beautiful day to hike!" — GreggC • Aug 7, 2020
