Peak #4 of the New England Six Pack of Peaks Challenge, 10-03-2025

Today’s challenge was the Welch-Dickey Loop Trail. A fairly easy late morning hike for me. I woke up this morning at around 7am, and for those who know me best, sleeping in for me is normally around 4am. Anyway, once up I ate and prepped, then took a few hour drive south to another Wal-Mart. I dropped the trailer and head straight up to the Welch-Dickey Loop Trailhead about 20 minutes away.

I began my hike about 11:05 and took about 2.5 hours to hike 4.4 miles with an elevation gain of just over 1,800 feet. 1,200 of that coming in the final 1.4 miles to the summit. Not too bad and my legs were thanking me for the easier short hike.
