Dramatic view from the scrambles on the Blueberry Ledge Trail, Mount Whiteface. (ED PARSONS PHOTO)

Recently, I returned to an old local favorite, Mount Whiteface (4,020 feet) in the Sandwich Range. You know you are heading into the mountains on the Blueberry Ledge Trail, opened in 1899, with its consistent uphill climb, ledge scrambling, and great views in the last half mile and on top as a reward.

The trail is 3.9 miles to the South Ledges, which I consider the summit. The true summit is 0.3 miles further on the Rollins Trail, and in the woods.
