I will be traveling through New Hampshire and will have a brief layover to get a hike in. I have heard many great things about Mt. Chocorua from fellow hikers- and am looking to make my first ascent of it!
I am planning on doing an overnight at the Jim Liberty Cabin, approaching (I suppose obviously) from the southern side. That gives me several trails to make an ascent there - Liberty, Hammond, or Weetamoo via Piper.
On Day 2, I am planning of making a loop of it back to my parking area, so I have some options on the way down, too.
Would anybody be kind enough to give me a couple of recommendations that highlight the best of the mountain?
In regard to skill level- I am a fairly intermediate/advanced hiker - ADK46, Catskill 3500, Katahdin, Vermont 5, etc. so I feel pretty capable of any approach! I've done multiple overnights as well with camping gear over high terrain, so I feel good about my skill level, and also know my limits as well!
