We're going up that way; may only do one peak, and not sure yet if it will be Saturday or Sunday.

I did it from that side last Feb. IIRC the grade is pretty similar to Pine Bend for the Tri's in that you just wish the trail would get to where it's going. Once up on the ridge it climbs pretty steadily to the top of Passaconaway. There are some views through the trees though on Passaconaway Cutoff and the Oliverian Brook Trail is next to water for a ways so it's not completely devoid of views. The only taxing part is the last pitch below the summit.

Hope that helps,
Pat

Thanks for info Pat. We were thinking of camping @ Hancock campground and while I'd like to do the Blueberry Trail on the South side the Brook Trail is much closer from the Hancock campground.
