Directions: AMC White Mountain Guide
Follow Welch Dicky Loop Trail. I believe we went clockwise.
Notes:
I would avoid doing this hike if it is rainy.
There are ledges & steep inclines, which would be dangerous if the rocks were slippery.
This hike can be an issue if you have vertigo.
It goes over 2 mountains, and the views are amazing.
There are views over almost all of the trail, not just on the summits.
This is a very popular trail, though we mostly saw people just near the beginning of the trail.
We kept the dogs on leash during most of it, due to the fragile vegetation.

| Portion of the very large parking lot. Lots of cars when we arrived, close to empty when we left. |
 |
| Logs and stones are set up to protect fragile vegetation on the rocks. |
 |
| First overlook, not a summit yet. |
 |
| More protected areas. |
 |
| Glen in the background giving perspective. |
 |
| Taking a break to cool down |
 |
| Much of the trail is like this - steep granite rocks to run up. |
 |
| Cairn in col between the summits |
 |
| Entering the woods for a short period |
 |
| So much work for whomever put in these stone steps |
