I hiked this trail when it began at the head of The Flume and there was no admission fee for hikers. It continued to the Liberty Spring/Flume Slide Trails junction. There used to be a shelter where the tentsite is now. That was back when Rt 3 was the main route through Franconia Notch. There was nowhere near the number of hikers that are climbing the 4000 footers now. Ah well, times change.
Nice... thanks for sharing this. I'm doing an overnight on Liberty this weekend. High temps in the upper 50s, lows in the 30s. Great weekend for it!
