Hike Date: Jun 13, 2020
In keeping with COVID-19 guidelines, we had not hiked in the White Mountains since early March. And wow, had we missed it! For the past three months, we trained however we could – stairs with packs, strength training, local hikes. It was well worth it. We hiked this 10.2 mile out and back of Mt. Liberty and Mt. Flume and loved every minute of it. Our legs were fatigued by the end, but our training really helped us stay in hiking shape.
We started at Liberty Spring Trailhead and walked about 0.7 miles on the Pemi Trail, which briefly joined a paved bike path and crossed a bridge over the Pemigewasset River, to reach Liberty Spring Trail. This trail, a section of the Appalachian Trail, offered a slow and steady incline with relatively soft footing for the beginning of the hike, which was exactly what we needed to ease back into hiking.
