Mt. Flume is gorgeous with a very cool little summit! We'll be hiking at peak autumn foliage!

When driving thru Franconia Notch on Rt. 93, heading north look to your right and notice the pointed peak farthest south with the huge rock slide visible. That is Mt. Flume. We will hike it from the Kancamagus Highway, Lincoln Woods Visitors center, via the Lincoln Woods trail to the Osseo trail, to avoid the slide. Mount Flume ranks 25th on the list of 48 NH 4000' peaks.
