Counter-clockwise loop beginning and ending at Ferncroft parking lot via Blueberry Ledge Trail, Rollins, Dicey’s Mill up to Passaconaway summit, Walden back down to Dicey’s Mill and a roughly 4 mile gentle downhill walkout to finish. Challenging solo hike up the ledges and steep sections. Trail was well packed out on all trails and nano’s or micro’s were appropriate throughout. No views today, but the forest setting, and in particular the descent of Dicey’s Mill Trail as it follows the brook, is spectacular. One of my favorite loops in the Whites. Walden Trail is a very steep way to descend or ascend Passaconaway’s summit. Dicey’s Mill is much gentler.
