Morning Hike on North Uncanoonuc with J Paul - benefit NH4Ukraine


Details
Friday's weather forecast is looking good, so let's get in a quick morning hike up North Uncanoonuc before the afternoon heat sets in.
The Uncanoonucs are the pair of mountains that can be seen looking to the west from many viewpoints in Manchester. South Uncanoonuc is the one that has all the radio towers on it, but I prefer hiking North Uncanoonuc due to the summit being undeveloped, and having a halfway decent view from the summit.
We'll be taking the White Dot Trail up to the summit, and either returning the same way or taking the Orange Dot Trail back to the vehicles. I expect that we'll be back down to the cars by around 11:00 AM or so. We will start as a group, hike as a group, and finish as a group.
LENGTH: 1.2 miles
ELEVATION GAIN: 725 feet
DIFFICULTY: Easy - moderate. Somewhat steep. Good warmup hike for building up to more challenging hikes.
