Mount Flume, 4328 ft
Mount Flume is the southern most peak along Franconia Ridge. There are are several routes to the peak. The Flume Slide Trail branches off of the Liberty Springs Trail and ascends a steep, wet slide. The slide is not recommended for descent. Ths is a challenging trail that reaches the Osseo Trail-Franconia Ridge Trail junction about .1 miles from the summit of Mt. Flume. This trail is most often used in a loop along with the Franconia Ridge Trail to Mount Liberty, then descend by the Liberty Springs Trail.
Some hikers do an "out and back" when hiking Flume. Follow the Liberty Springs Trail to the Franconia Ridge Trail. The Franconia Ridge Trail then goes over the summits of Liberty and Flume. Then you turn around and go out the way you came in.
The Osseo Trail leads from the Lincoln Woods Trail, about 1.4 miles from the parking lot, the Osseo Trail the ascends to the summit of Mount Flume.

The Bonds
The Bonds - Mt. Bond, Bondcliff and West Bond. Of all of my White Mountain hikes, I find the Bonds to be the most remote and most scenic area on the Whites. Hiking in from the Zealand Trailhead off of Rte. 302 by way of the the Zealand Trail, then picking up the Twinway at the AMC's Zealand Hut takes you past Zealand Mountain and to Mt. Guyot. As you breakout from the trees at Guyot you are treated to an outstanding panorama of the Pemigewasset Wilderness. South Twin is to you left, and as you look counter-clockwise through the Pemi you see Garfield, Owl's Head and
