Boulder Loop Trail
This trail begins past the covered bridge.
Typical White Mountain trail - rocks, boulders, and roots are your footbed, and there are lovely views at the ledges up top (make sure you take the spur path at the “Views” sign). Elevation gain is 900 feet.
$5 for parking, and that lot fills up early on the weekends.
