Mt Chocorua and Middle Sister via Champney Brook Trail, White Mountain National Forest, NH [OC]
(lemmy.world)
Moderate to Hard 8.0 mi Out and Back
2,497 ft elevation gain
Hiked 8/8/2025
After pulling back to back 4k's, I scaled it back with a 2.4k for day 3 haha. Great accessible hike that still has plenty of bite to it, with some scrambling at the very top. Adding Middle Sister gives a great view of picturesque Mt Chocorua. Still fairly hazy, but better than previous two days.
Looking towards Mt Paugus and surrounding area, and the Sandwich Range wilderness/Bowl Research area.
A look along the wide bald on top of Mt Chocorua, looking to the north. Bear mountain is the first mountain seen I believe, and more of the white mountains are often visible in the haze behind it than what is seen here.
The view from an old observation platform on Middle Sister, with the ridge running to Mt Chocorua.
If you go the champney brook route to get there, there is also a waterfall on a spur trail on the lower end that is apparently nice. Person I was hiking with said it was dry right then so we just skipped it.
