Mount Whiteface

"Humid and buggy day. Went up Blueberry Ledge Trail to summit. Then across the Rollins Trail to Dicey Mill Trail up to Passaconaway summit. Then looped around via Walden Trail back to Dicey Mill Trail and out the trailhead. Great views from several points on Whiteface and Passaconaway. A passing thunderstorm was nothing more than a rain shower that cooled things down for a bit. Passaconaway marks number 39 or 48. Hiked Whiteface two years ago as an out and back." — dmcosker • Jun 20, 2020

"In town for the weekend enjoying our Anniversary, on this day we were climbing Whiteface and Passaconoway, Loved the steep trails with the roots and rock scrambles. Took the Wiggins Trail up to start the loop, then to Blueberry Ledge trail before reaching Whiteface and heading over to Passaconoway. We missed our on views with the clouds but had a great day!" — deb-and-rob • Jun 21, 2019

"Knocked out Passaconaway and Whiteface as a loop from the Kanc. I took the Oliverian Brook Trail up and the Downes Brook Trail down. Many sections of the Downes Brooks Trail put the "wilderness" in wildnerness trail, with plant life encroaching on the trail for about 70% of the first 3 miles of my descent." — HikeLikeMike • Aug 25, 2018

"Forcast said high of 74 and dry--a huge and pleasant contrast to the 80's and 90's with a thousand percent humidity thay we'd been experiencing. We made every arrangement we could, left MA almost an hour earlier than usual, and hit the Blueberry Ledge trailhead around 8:30am. The parking area was already busy. The ledges below the summit were challenging, especially for my shorter hiking partner, but I enjoyed them, and the increasing view at each successive ledge was well worth the effort. Blueberry Ledge Trail to the summit, then Rollins Trail to Dicey's Mill and Mt. Passaconaway." — gooner • Jul 7, 2018

"Hiked Mt. Whiteface on July 4th. Got a very early start to beat some of the extreme heat that was to come later in the day. Wanted to peak bag and hike Passaconaway too but it started getting way too hot and I was concerned I wouldn't have enough water. I had just enough water for just an out and back of Whiteface. Hike starts out faily tame and then gets difficult the further up I went. Outstanding views from the ledges." — dmcosker • Jul 4, 2018

"Slightly raining....or misty day of on and off sun. Hiked with roger up the ledges and over to grab passaconaway. Super excited to grab these two together with a partner so I knew what to expect when heading out solo." — shay-shay • Apr 30, 2018

"Hiked Blueberry ledge trail to Whiteface, then over Rollins trail to Passaconaway. From Passaconaway hiked Walden trail down to hit Mt. Hibbard, then the Wonalancet trail back to parking lot" — blackwolf_03278 • Sep 24, 2017

"Forecast was for a wet day, so we took the long route for Passaconaway & Whiteface instead of going up the ledges, we spoke to several people who did climb the ledges, and never regretted our decision to go this route. It never rained, but we were in the clouds until the very end. 15.6 Miles! The trip from Passaconaway to Whiteface was fine, down forever over good sized rocks off of Passaconaway (see my Passaconaway log for the start), but the Rollins Trail was a delight! We hardly realized that we were climbing back up. No views of the Bowl - a disappointment for sure. From Whiteface it was a long hike our over the Kate Sleeper Trail to the Downes Brook Trail (this trail needs some work - lots of blowdowns and 10 brook crossings, but it was very pleasant and quiet). We saw so much moose poop on Downes Brook that we were sure we'd see a moose too - no luck. Sun came out as we made the last brook crossing. " — PJSelmer • Aug 12, 2017

"First hike up Mt Whiteface and Mt Passaconaway via loop with my cousin. First and second 4000-footer. There is a data error on GPX file, lost approximately 40 minutes of data along ridge between Whiteface and Passaconaway. Whiteface has great view south towards the lakes region and the Ossipee Range." — gullyhiker • Jun 24, 2017

"Awesome hike to Whiteface....a beautiful 50 degree day with full sun! We were able to navigate the ledges because the snow had melted enough and there was some bare rock. It did require hands and knees climbing but was super fun! " — shay-shay • Mar 9, 2017
