Mount Whiteface (4,020 feet)

Blueberry Ledge Trail on Mount Whiteface

Mount Whiteface located in the Sandwich Wilderness is part of the Southern White Mountain range.  The official summit is wooded and is just a rock pile to off the side of the Rollins trail.  There are views on the upper parts of the Blueberry Ledge Trail through the steep sections of ledges and an outlook just before the summit to the south and east.

Trails I've hiked

-Blueberry Ledge Trail: 3.9 miles, elevation gain of 2,850. The Blueberry Ledge Trail is the main route to ascend Mount Whiteface. The trail has ok footing for the most part and moderate to steep grades as it scrambles up the ledges which can be daunting and dangerous if wet or icy. The trail passes through some open wide slopping rock faces with limited views along the way. The steep rock ledges that require some minor scrambling below the summit of Mount Whiteface are fun for experienced hikers and have some great views along the way.

Downes Brook / Kate Sleeper Trail: 6.2 miles, elevation gain of 2,750 feet. The Downes Brook Trail has easy to moderate grades with good to excellent footing.  It is a long gradual path in the woods that passes between Mount Passaconaway and Whiteface on one side and the Sleeper Ridge on the other side.  The Trail has ten water crossings that can be difficult to dangerous during heavy rain.
