The Boulder Loop Trail is located off the Kancamagus Highway near the Covered Bridge Campground. The 3 mile long trail passes through broad-leafed and evergreen forests to reach its highest point at the Ledges, 1,000 ft. above the Passaconaway Valley. The trail has 18 marked stops, in part, highlighting the effects and results of glaciers. Follow the yellow blazes marking this trail.
