Hike the Flume Enjoy the Flume in the Winter. This is a 2 mile round-trip hike through one of the most beautiful areas mother nature has created in the White Mountains. We will see the gorge itself, which is 800 ft long and 90 ft tall, you will see about 4 different waterfalls, 2 covered bridges, an area called “the pool”, and of course, amazing scenery. Be sure to bring a camera! This is a moderate to strenuous hike. At this time of year it may still have snow so sturdy footwear is recommended.
