Liberty Springs is a more gradual hike which has some steeper sections below and above the tentsites.
Flume Slide is very gradual almost flat until you reach the Slide where it is steep and rough in places.
It can be dangerous in wet or icy conditions and is better to climb than descend. Both join up with the
Franconia Ridge Trail on the ridge.
