Big Rock Cave, Sandwich Mountain Range

Big Rock Cave, Albany NH. I used this location in writing my novel Carved in Granite: Cornelius Campbell and the Legend of Chocorua. Big Rock Cave Trail is off 113A in Tamworth – just down the road from the little church with the mountain back-drop is a parking lot.  Park and walk by a couple of homes/driveways and continue on the trail to the top of Mt. Mexico. You will cross a mountain bog with that sweet balsam fir smell before a sharp hike down to the Rock Cave.  It’s a cool little hike where winter stays late into the spring.  

The cave is often secluded and quiet, surrounded by expansive cliffs, above a deep ravine over the bogs near Mount Mexico.  Located in the White Mountain National Forest near Mount Paugus it is between the Sandwich and Ossipee Mountain ranges.
