Hike for 0.6 miles until you come to a fork where you can turn right to head up Mount Liberty, or Left to head up Mount Flume via the Flume Slide Trail. Then at the junction turn to get towards Liberty Spring Trail, which is also part of the Appalachian Trail. From the parking lot, you will start the hike off by hiking 0.9 miles almost parallel to the highway (some of which is a bike path). This is a loop hike ( see map below) starting at the Whitehouse Trail head at the Flume Visitor Center.
#FLUME SLIDE TRAIL HOW TO#
The map below shows how to get to the summit of Mount Flume, as well as Mount Liberty. Mount Flume Trail Maps - Directions from the parking lot to the summit New England Hundred highest in Winter season New England 4,000 footers in Winter season New Hampshire 4,000 footers in Winter season Mount Liberty is 1.2 miles from the summit of Mount Flume (But again, it is not a good idea to hike down the Flume Slide Trail, especially when it is wet out.) It will take 10.1 miles to peak-bag both Liberty and Flume. The shortest trail up to the summit of Flume is via the Flume Slide Trail, and would take 9.6 miles there and back. Both the views on each mountain are incredible and breath-taking. The Flume Slide Trail is extremely steep for around a mile starting at the summit. It is a great way to cross multiple mountains off your list in one day, and not to mention have multiple views! If you choose to hike both mountains, it is wise to hike up to Mount Flume via the Flume Slide Trail, then over to Mount Liberty, and down the Liberty Spring Trail, which is also part of the Appalachian Trail. Many people choose to hike Mount Flume and Mount Liberty on the same hike, this is known as Peak-Bagging (also mountain bagging, hill bagging, summit to summit). It is one of 6 mountains in the Franconia Range, though, only 4 of them being 4,000 footers. Mount Flume is a 4,328 foot mountain in the Franconia Range of the White Mountains overlooking Franconia Notch.
