On Saturday, August 6, we drove up to Sugarloaf campground to begin our high
adventure trip. We set up camp and hiked up one of the Sugarloaf mountains.
After that, we were invited to play a game of ultimate Frisbee. We played for
awhile against another group, and decided to go have dinner. After we cleaned
up, we played some games in the dark with the same group. The next day, we
packed up camp and drove to the trail head we would be hiking from. We hiked
3.8 miles up to the campsite, made our shelter, and hike up Mt. Liberty and
Mt. Flume, two 4,000 Ft peaks, adding on another 3.6 miles for a total of 7.4
miles
on Sunday.
On Monday, we went the opposite way on the ridgeline to Little
Haystack,
Lincoln, and
Lafayette. All were above 4,000 ft high, but Little Haystack is not
considered one of the 48 4,000 footers in
New Hampshire.
Monday Grand total: 7.6 miles. Finally,
on Tuesday, we hiked the 3.8 miles down from the campsite, and drove
home. Along the way we stopped at Subway for lunch, and the longest candy
counter in the world- Chutters. Overall, it was a great trip and everybody had
fun. I would do it again if it was offered.
