Ammonoosuc Waterfalls Ride, 9:00 am


Thursday July 14, 2016

Ammonoosuc Waterfalls via Mt Clinton Road and Base Road   9:00 am start


Looks like the weather will be good with late afternoon thunderstorms. Good for a ride with a view.

This ride is relatively short in mileage but big on scenery and attractions, and is a good work out, too. It includes panoramic Presidential views, the Cog Railroad (if you decide to climb up to the station), Upper and Lower Ammonoosuc Falls. We eat lunch/snacks on the rocks next to the Lower Ammonoosuc Falls.

Start at the Eisenhower Wayside Park which is on the right side of Route 302 a couple of miles after passing through Crawford Notch. It has a tall flagpole and it is a sledding hill in the winter. We ride back up the notch to Mt Clinton Road (how is this lately?) getting that climb over while it is still cool. You could climb up to the Cog Railroad or just enjoy the downhill cruise, stopping to look at Upper Ammonusuc Falls. We then ride out to the Twin Mt 4 corners, turn back and stop to enjoy the Lower Ammonoosuc Falls.

Start:  9:00 am at the Eisenhower Wayside Park

Total distance: approximately 25 miles; depending on options.

Carpool, if you like:  Attitash parking lot, far end, 8:15 am.
I will join you next week!! Enjoy!!
