Mt. Chocorua Liberty Trailhead and Parking The Liberty Trail ascends at a steady, moderate grade along an old bridle path, continuing to Jim Liberty Cabin at 3.3 miles before meeting the Brook Trail on a ledge at 3.6 miles, with the summit accessible just 0.2 miles beyond. This route is generally considered a challenging hike, thoughit is one of the easier trails to the summit. The hike can be done as an out-and-back trip, or you can add the Brook Trail to make it a loop. Mount Chocorua’s open granite summit rises over Chocorua Lake, creating a picturesque reflection not far from the Liberty Trailhead. Higher on the mountain, there are sections of open rock and places where you may want to use your hands. The Jim Liberty Cabin, built in 1934 and named after the man who owned the logging camp there in the late 1800s, now offers nine bunks for hikers to camp in just below the summit. The Liberty Trail was formerly the Chocorua Mountain Road—an old bridle path that Jim Liberty improved in 1887 and incorporated with the state in 1889, serving as the shortest and most popular road to the summit of Mount Chocorua and to the original Peak House.
