Chocorua Pan

Awesome pic! I've been wanting to do Chocorua since I moved here a couple of years ago. Which trails do you take? About how long does it take you round trip? And one more, how much rock scrambling is there at the top?

Thanks!

I've done Chocorua countless times, and never get tired of the climb. Granted, it's one of the most-climbed peaks in NH (perhaps in all of New England), and hass abundant trails. Most of the routes will take the average person about three hours -- bottom to top. There is some minor rock scrambling and creeping along the way, but nothing serious. I am rather particular to the Piper-Weetamoo route (leaving from Rte. 16). Round trip, assuming an hour spent at the top, would be about six or seven hours. Try for a day with super-low humidity and you'll be blown away by the views.
