Hiking Schedule:

October

Oversett Pond, Greenwood Village more info922 ft.), Greenwood, ME. 4.2 mi RT, 597 ft. of elevation gain. RT hiking 2.0 hours. RT driving 3 hrs. (HL – Jeff) info (at the end of the hike report from last week)

Meet at the Denmark church at 8:30 am – Trailhead is on Arethusa Falls Road, a short paved access road off US-302 in Harts Location, about 10 minutes north of Bartlett and 25 minutes northwest of North Conway. Google Maps and the NH State Parks page both pin the trailhead correctly.

Meet at the Denmark Church at 8:30 AM

For those new potential hikers who are considering coming along with us, we should note that there is only one church in Denmark. It is adjacent to the town offices.

The other thing we might point out is that Denmark has little or no cell phone coverage at the town offices or at the church. They do have cheap gas though at Jim Bob’s to make up for it.

Year round hiking for sure: but there’s a limit. If the forecast is really bad, hikes may be cancelled or postponed. Ideally cancellations will be announced by Thursday evening. Schedule changes, when necessary, will be announced via email to website subscribers
