Chocura Hike 2007





My youngest daugher, oldest son and I took a nice hike up the Piper Trail last Monday - July 2nd to the summit of Mt. Chocura with some new seasonal friends.

The Piper Trail is about 4.5 miles - one way to the summit. Most of the climbing is near the last mile and 1/2. I found this trail to be less exciting than the Champney falls trail that we did last year.

On the summit it was VERY windy that day. I was a little bit concerned that my daughter would be blown over the mountain. However the views were gorgeous!

This year it seemed like a much tougher climb, especially on the way back.

Hoping to hit Mt. Washington in August!
