Sunapee Mountain, NH

Date Hiked: 10/19

Trails(s) Hiked: Andrew Brook Trail, Solitude Trail

Total Distance: 6 miles

Difficulty: Moderate

Conditions: Cloudy, extremely wet "trail"

Special Required Equipment: None

This trail was rediculous - so many brook crossings, very greasy/muddy, and multiple parts where the trail is a brook/creek. Solitude Trail was in much better shape. Not a soul out hiking.

Have skied Sunapee. Have not hiked it. It's one of those places I've skied so much that I don't have a burning desire to hike it. That said, some nice views for the effort. Any work being done at the resort? There are quite a few hiking trails on the mtn and it is a popular place.

Hiking the ski trails is no big deal but the Solitude Trail is worth it IMO.

Ya, I'd say the nicest part of the hike is the White Ledges on the Solitude Trail - great views, etc. The views aren't as strong on the ski area part in my opinion.
