PARENTAL PRESENCE
Dedicated to our parents, Bob and Rose, Mario and Lena
Time: Approximately 2 1/2 hours (Bring a picnic lunch or snack for
the summit.)
Distance: 3 miles, round trip
Trail Difficulty: Continuous moderate climb to summit.(Inadvisable in snowy or icy conditions)
Latest Update 9/15/04: On 8/24/04 a letterboxer was unable to find this box - However, I received two reports in June 2004 that it was damp but intact. Please contact me if you have more info on the status of this box.
Getting There: From NH Rte. 3 in Franconia Notch take Flume Visitor Center Turn Off. On driveway into visitor center turn left and park near the start of the
Bike Path. Take the Bike Path north. The Mt. Pemigewasset Trail starts at a left turn 100 ft. up the Bike Path.
(For a slightly longer hike, try ascending the summit via the 1.8 mile AMC Indian Head Trail. The trailhead starts just north of the Beacon Resort and just south of the Franconia Notch State Park boundary on Rte. 3. The two trails meet and join near the summit.)
Clues: The Mt. Pemigewasset Trail is poorly marked but well-worn which makes it easy to follow. The trail ascends steadily through a hardwood forest, crossing four brooks before reaching halfway up the summit. The upper portion of the trail brings you through a forest of evergreens before landing you on top of the ledge. Enjoy the view of the valley and mountains to the south and west. Continue along to the left and rear of Pemi’s stony brow. Franconia Ridge rises in the E-NE. Heading north you will reach a point where you can go no further (unless you’re Spiderman). Turn back. Under the west side of a small boulder Parental Presence is waiting to offer it’s gift. Be careful, discretion may be tricky. This summit was heavily traveled even in early May.
