This is a view back down Dicey's Mill Trail just at the intersection with the Rollins Trail at 3.9 miles. So far so good, the ascent has been nice and gradual.

The Dicey's Mill Trail approach to Passaconaway is reminiscent of the Mt Tecumseh Trail approach to Tecumseh (probably the same whether you're going via Tripoli Rd or Waterville Valley Ski Area), which I've also done recently. It's really a pretty sweet trail. It leads you on pretty level ground for the first couple of miles, and then there's a gradual, steady ascent at a pretty bearable grade.

And then, you hit the part where you're climbing over boulders near the top. There's a lot more boulder climbing here than there is on Tecumseh.
