Rhododendron Loop Hike

Join Wholesome Queers for a peaceful walk through one of southern New Hampshire’s hidden gems! We'll explore the Rhododendron Loop Trail, an easy 1.6-mile hike winding through a lush hemlock forest filled with moss-covered rocks, towering evergreens, and massive rhododendron thickets. This beautiful preserve is managed by The Nature Conservancy and offers a chance to slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy some gentle movement together. Along the way, we'll keep an eye out for birds, wildlife, and the trail's famous rhododendrons, which create a magical woodland atmosphere.
