Mount Flume is a 4,328-foot (1,319 m)[1] mountain at the southern end of the Franconia Range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, United States. Mount Flume is the lowest in elevation of the peaks in the Franconia Range that are accessible by official hiking trails.
The peak can be reached from the southeast by starting on the Lincoln Woods Trail and turning onto the Osseo Trail, for a total of 5.6 miles (9.0 km) with a 3,150-foot (960 m) elevation gain. From the west the peak can be climbed via the Liberty Spring Trail, followed by the Flume Slide Trail, for a total of 4.1 miles (6.6 km) with a 2,950-foot (899 m) elevation gain. From the north the summit is reached by the Franconia Ridge Trail coming from the summit of Mount Liberty. The Flume Slide Trail is a notably steep and slippery climb, and its use is discouraged in wet weather or snow. It is not recommended as a descending trail.[3]
