"Franconia ridge traverse....amazing day with clear skies...relatively warm! We realized during our hike to the last mountains that our car spot key was forgotten in the first car....so we had to backtrack to liberty again and head down liberty springs and road walk on the bike path for a few miles to get to our car...still an amazing day! Just a little longer than intended!" - shay-shay, Mar 25, 2018

"Great winter hike in the White Mountains, Was able to take a short cut from the Basin parking lot and save a mile round frip. Was a cloudy, snowy day, but the forest was a awesome winter wonderland! " - blackwolf_03278, Mar 11, 2018

"Went up Liberty Springs, then over to Flume and back. Trails were in pretty good condition, solid snow pack. Some ice on top half of Liberty Springs near the tent site. First trip over Liberty summit, we were socked in the clouds. But it started to clear when we were eating lunch on Flume and had much nicer views from Liberty when we returned. Enjoyed seeing several crossbill birds at Liberty's summit." - Alohabuffy, Mar 4, 2018

"It was a beautiful day to knock out Liberty and Flume. I was fearful of the Flume Slide Trail, so I went the way of doing an out-and-back up the Liberty Spring Trail. It was nice easy climb until the major brook crossing (roaring from all the rain over the weekend but still passable via a moderately challenging rock hop). From there, it was a relentless climb up to the tentsite and ridge. Amazing panoramas stretched all around me on the summit. Loved the hike up. I would definitely consider doing this hike again up to the Liberty summit." - HikeLikeMike, Jul 4, 2017
