"A hike to Liberty for some chad on Molly's Grid (she already had Flume). We hiked up from the Flume Gorge Visitor's Center, up the bike path to Liberty Springs Tr. I barebooted the whole thing. Some snow at higher elevations but not much. Not even 4 inches. Windy on the summit today. Clear and beautiful except for that wind part. I gained a Calendar Day.

"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

"You can't have better winter weather. Around 20, brilliant sunshine and little to no wind. Fabulous day on Liberty with clear views everywhere. Trail is in good shape, still just not enough snow for shoes, spikes were fine." — Alohabuffy • Jan 16, 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

"A Flume and Liberty hike. Molly and I headed up the AT and set camp at Liberty Springs Tentsite. We then hiked over to Liberty, bypassed the summit, and went for Flume. After tagging that peak, we headed back to Liberty and watched the sunset while having dinner from there. We then went to Liberty Springs for the night. I gained 2 more peaks for my August Grid." — newenglandwarrior • Aug 5, 2020

"Teamed up with Sarah H for Liberty and Flume. She needed them, and I did not. Just glad to help someone else out. We went up Liberty Springs Tr. Beautiful day to be up on the ridge. Great views. " — newenglandwarrior • Jan 30, 2020

"Day 3 of a quick 4-day trip to the Whites with Ed, Larry and Tom. Our original plan was ascend via the Flume Slide trail and descend on the AT/Liberty Springs trail. Because of recent rains we switched to ascending the Liberty Springs trail and then taking the Osseo down to the Lincoln Woods trail. Playing it safe and we still got to red line a new trail, the Osseo. As we reached the top of Liberty the low cloud drifted off revealing the great views while we had our lunch with a young woman from Montreal. After a short drop and an shorter climb we were on top of Flume for more views and pics. The Osseo started off with some quick drops and ladder structures then mellowed nicely for an easy stroll down to the Lincoln Woods “rail” trail. In Lincoln we shivered our way through large bowls of ice cream while bundled up in the low 50* temp then headed off for warm showers at the Notch Hostel." — Nimblefoot • Oct 3, 2019

"Liberty and Flume had been on our list for years, and the idea of taking the Flume Slide Trail had been off the table for almost just as long. (We're just not that adventurous.) So the hike was planned as a two peak out-and-back via the Liberty Spring and Franconia Ridge trails. [Best and closest parking: hiker lot just past the Flume Gorge Visitor Center, heading north on rt 3. From there, hike 0.6 miles on the Pemi Tr, which empties onto the Whitehouse Tr (paved bike path), and comes to a signed junction with Liberty Spring Tr a few minutes later.] The temperature was good that day, ranging from low 60's to high 70's (colder on one summit), but the air was thick with humidity as the mountain prepared for, and later revelled in, the expected morning rain. We embraced it too, as nature's cooling agent, and kept moving, knowing the weather would clear. After the rain petered out, we could see a fair amount of steam rising from the earth and from each other. (Yes, White Mountains, we see your rain forest impersonation. It's very good.) Liberty Spring Tr was consistently rocky and often steep, but void of scrambles, and beautifully surrounded by somewhat open forest. 0.3 miles afte..." — gooner • Aug 16, 2019
