"A hike up Blueberry Ledge Tr to Whiteface. We went from barebooting to snowshoes partway up. All socked in today. After Whiteface, we headed over to Passaconaway. Reached the summit, then down Daicey Mill Tr. No views at all today. On and off flurries in the morning. Light drizzle by the time we reached Ferncroft. Snow was also getting sloppy." — newenglandwarrior • Jan 27, 2024

"Set off from the Ferncroft Trailhead at 8:50am. Blueberry Ledge Trail, as the name may suggest, crossed over multiple rocky ledges, several of which were covered in blueberry bushes. For the first time since May I had a hike with good visibility, and the ledges provided views to the south and east, including Lake Winnipesaukee, Mt. Chocorua, and Mt. Passaconaway. Blueberry Ledge Trail unceremoniously crossed over the summit of Whiteface and we hiked another 2.5 miles along the Rollins Trail to its intersection with Dicey's Mill Trail. A 1.5 mile roundtrip hike brought us to the summit of Passaconaway - another uneventful wooded summit, but there was a small lookout just past the summit that offered views to the north and west, including the Tripyramids and Mt. Carrigain. The hike down was a gradual but gruelling 4.3 miles down into The Bowl which was very muddy due in part to the previous night's thunderstorm and the various streams empyting into the Wonalancet River. At one point we crossed over the Wonalancet River using a narrow tree trunk as a bridge. Dicey's Mill Trail eventually empties out into a private residence's backyard and we followed the dirt path onto Ferncroft Rd a..." — JCalautti • Jul 22, 2023

"Great day for a hike as the weather was near perfect, except the Canadian wildfire haze obscured views from the north look out. Despite a lot of recent rain, Dicey Mill was in excellent shape." — Alohabuffy • Jul 19, 2023

"Cloudless skies, and a nice breeze to keep the bugs off. Some mud on lower Dicey Mill. Very eroding monorail from 3500' on up. But tons of snow going down to the northern lookout." — Alohabuffy • May 8, 2023

"Molly and I went for a hike for her Grid and my Calendar Day need. We went up Blueberry Ledge Tr to Rollins Tr to Dicey Mill Tr back down to Ferncroft. Quite a bit of the snow is gone on Blueberry Ledge Tr. Found plenty of it elsewhere. Monorail was mostly firm and we didn't need to use our snowshoes. " — newenglandwarrior • Apr 20, 2023

"Hiked Whiteface and Passaconaway in the same hike. Went up Blueberry Ledge to Whiteface and then over to Passaconaway and out Dicey's Mill Trail. Dicey's Mill might be the easiest trail to descend in the NH4Kers. 34 degrees at the start. A nice sunny day with hazy clouds and no wind. The temperature at the finish was 57 degrees. Blueberry Ledge was challenging and very steep in sections. The views of the lakes region were fantastic. The hike over to Passaconaway was a ridge hike and offered very little views along the way. Passaconaway was a simple check off as that peak didn't offer any exciting views either. It was a total of 10.8 miles and we did it in 8.5 hours!" — GreggC • Sep 30, 2022

"Teamed up with Juel to help her on some peaks she needed. She chose Whiteface and Passaconaway. We met at Ferncroft and headed up Blueberry Ledge Tr. A cloudy day today and windy at the top. We followed the Rollins Tr over to Passaconaway. We threw on spikes above the ledges on Whiteface and kept them on until Daicy Mill Tr. We went up Passaconaway then headed down Daicy. We crosssed paths with Hiker Ed on the way down. It had been awhile since I last hiked with Juel and it was good to do so again. I gained a Calendar Day today. " — newenglandwarrior • Apr 22, 2022

"I needed today for a calendar day. So I chose Whiteface and Passaconaway to pick up some peaks on my current loop. A little bit of everything on the trail. Ice down low, Blueberry Ledge Tr was both clear of snow/ice and icy. I made it up the ledges and reached the top. I accidently passed by the Whiteface summit, so turned around and went back. Found the hidden wooden sign. Rollins Tr had a mixture of monorail and pockets of ice. Went up to Passaconaway and mixture of firm snow and pockets of ice. Reached the top, then came down Daicey's Mill Tr. Snow was getting sticky from the afternoon sun. Down low, the trail had some ice/snow or nothing at all. Reached the trailhead. I then went to Smuttynose Brewing for a gain on my Views and Brews. " — newenglandwarrior • Mar 23, 2022

"The hike up whiteface was quite difficult taking the ledges, especially with a ladder missing however the views at the top and along the ledges was spectacular. The sky had a beautiful golden hour at noon, CRAZY RIGHT! The weather was great until I started down from Passaconaway, then it started raining. Boy was that fun. Met a wonderful woman and her dash hound at the summit and the 3 of us hiked back down until the trail split to go back to the parking lot and to white face. I am still surprised to this day that the dash hound (Freya) was able to climb all those rocks mostly without the woman's assist. " — MadHobbyist • Oct 21, 2021

"W shaney. Fastest time? 26.22 min miles, right under 9 mi round trip, did not take right steep path. Pretty and pretty easy. One view right before summit in the middle of nowhere" — kcjones • Aug 14, 2021
