Conservation officers from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department responded to the Falling Waters Trail near the summit of Little Haystack Mountain at about 9:15 p.m. Friday to rescue two adults and four children. The hikers were Josie Rogers and Christopher Kangas, of St. Johnsbury, Vermont., and children ages 8, 6, 5 and 2.

This is a very scenic hike but during the wet season should not be hiked without the proper gear. This trail is very wet during the spring and the nights are still very cool. Hiking regardless of weather and even if only going on a day hike should include a change of clothes, dry socks and without a doubt a flashlight or headlamp so your hands can remain free.
