Not sure on the current maps but on the older AMC maps, the scale of the trails around Chocorua were quite small and contour lines were hard to read. I was hiking with a group up Champney Falls trail one day and someone else was leading and I didn't pay a lot of attention to the leaders choice. We went up Champney and down Beeline to Bolles. It was a pleasant fall day but the trail was quite hard to follow as part of it was a stream bed (real wet) and went through a lot of fairly mature hardwood stands with few if any blazes. Eventually the valley closed in and the trail got steep and it became a distinct treadway, but even when we got to the height of the land, it felt like a lot longer walk out. We ended up getting out about 2 hours later than expected. It was a pleasant hike as there were few folks on the trail and the woods are nice. During subsequent hikes up Champney, others have pointed out the Bolles trail as a possible loop out and I have suggested that sure it was a nice remote option that feels a lot farther than it looked. Not sure if this was the case but for someone not paying attention and lacking in gear it would be a easy one to decide to call for help due to combination of the extra elevation and very scant marking.
