Look for the IEEE banner. There are 3 options:
- Option 1

- Option 2
- First Ledges. This hike is for hikers who want to experience the beautiful views of New Hampshire foliage, but may not be interested in climbing ledges. The distance is about one mile out. Have lunch or snack at the first ledges and enjoy spectacular views. Climb back down while the main group heads for the rockier part.

- For the non-hikers, drop off the hikers and drive 5 more minutes along Route 49 to the beautiful Waterville Valley.
Finish the hike with some food and socializing. There will be snacks, music and drinks. Park in Town Square parking lot, head to Town Square and look for IEEE banner next to the Ice Arena in the grassy area. Bring the entire family, kids, friends. The more the merrier. If it’s warm enough you there is swimming in the pond.
