The trip report

Written by tdefauw

We had a great hike up the Fauver Link Trail to Pike's Peak and Plymouth Mountain. It was a beautiful day with highs in the mid 50s.   We used microspikes due to snow and ice, but the microspikes made for easy walking.    We had lunch at Pike's Peak, which is 2 miles from the start, and has great views.   We then decided to continue to the actual summit of Plymouth Mountain, which doesn't have a view, but it was good to make it to the actual summit.    It was a great day for a hike on a less used trail, with nice walking, views, and great conversation (physically distanced between the 2 couples of course).

About this event

Join us for a 2.5 mile hike each way  on the Fauver Link Trail to a great viewpoint (Pike's Peak) with a great view just before the true summit of Plymouth Mountain.    Total of 5 miles round trip, 1000 feet of elevation gain.    The hike has a relatively moderate grade, and we will eat lunch at Pike's Peak, and we can also check out the true summit which doesn't have a view.    Joe and I have done this hike several times, but apparently there are more viewpoints beyond the summit.  We may try to explore before the date, and thus give an option to do another viewpoint after the true summit if people are interested.   

We are keeping the hike at 5 people to make it easier to practice the recommended social distancing of keeping about 6 feet of distance between everyone.     Join us for a day in the great outdoors for some fresh air and some much needed camaraderie.  

Please only sign up for this hike if you live in New Hampshire due to the coronavirus situation.  Please contact me for any extenuating circumstances, for example if you have a second home in New Hampshire and are living here.   

Traction devices such as microspikes are recommended as there will be some snow and ice on the trail.
