What a fantastic day for a hike! Perfect. Started on the Piper at 7AM and branched off to Nickerson Ledge and then Carter Ledge. I expected this to be a little tougher than it actually was, but it wasn't bad at all. We expected to go up and down Piper but was glad we decided to hit the Carter Ledge as it was fun being out in the open for longer and seeing that perspective. And was finally glad to peak Middle Sister with that structure on top which I had always wondered about from previous trips up Chocorua. Nice to see that up close. Looked like there were solar panels in there, anyone know what that is used for? Anyway, peaked Chocorua at 10:30 as we took our time up. Beautiful up top also and spent a half hour up there with some other kind folk. Started our descent at 11 and was back down the Piper to the parking lot by 1 exactly. So 6 hours approximate 9.3 miles. All in all a great day and a new way up Chocorua which I have done Champney Falls and Brook/Liberty. Good stuff going up this way too!
