You have beautiful 360 views here. The climb is moderate and super worth it! However, it might be difficult with dogs and (small) children.

Did the Brook trail to Liberty trail loop, nice ~7 mile hike, very pleasant hike leading up to a bit of a climb towards the top. If I went again I'd definitely do the loop backwards as there's a very good view of the mountain from there

Absolutely incredible hike. I took the Champney Brook Trail up and I highly recommend it. For about half the distance, the hike isn't all that hard until around the half way point. There, the trail is fairly steep until you reach the 'ridge' of the mountain where you can either go straight to Mt Chocurua or take the short trek to the Middle Sister peak, which is a great little appetizer and allows for you to get a good look at the beast which is the summit of Mt Chocurua. After some traversing along the Mountain, you reach the scramble for the summit. The final scramble is very fun and if you are adventurous/thrill seeking you can pretty much make your own route up the summit. At the top, the view is absolutely breath taking and the harsh winds only add to the feeling of accomplishment. In total, this took me about 5 hours although that is including a few stops to soak in the views. I started early in the morning (4 am) which I would recommend since it usually means you get the summit to yourself. Another tip is to check out the falls on the way down, since it gives you something to look forward to on the long hike down. I recommend this hike to any moderately fit person as it is rewarding, beautiful, and not that dangerous/exposed.

The Champney Trail and Piper Trail were very good and I would say moderate to difficult. It was intense but the view was totally worth it! I couldn’t stop taking in the view, just too amazing! A must try hike just for the view!

Ahhh you'll be fine!
Absolutely. Leash recommended
No pegs that I'm aware of...very manageable rock climbing
I don't believe so but there is a cabin and shelter so there may be a special circumstance, it would likely say on the sign where you pay the regular parking fee
It took my group 5 hours. That was with a 30 minute rest at the summit and a few minutes exploring Champney Falls.
No reservation needed, but it does cost $5 (cash only) to park if you park in the champney falls lot. I hope you enjoy your hike!
