    You might want to leave early, say around 6 or 7 a.m., so you hit Donmotul before the NH 27 traffic ramps up. The parking lot is right next to the trailhead, so you can start the walk straight away and keep the kids engaged with the shallow stream and the small stone cutting rocks they can spot. October’s dry spell usually keeps the path clear, but a light rain jacket is handy just in case. If you’re staying at Cygnett Inn Imperial, the front desk can give you a quick map and suggest the best departure time.
