Chocorua is a great hike, it doesn't take all day but you still get some great rock scrambling bits. If you come down rt. 16 stop at the Poor Peoples Pub in Wakefield, it's a lot better than you might think. Super chill place, I want to say a (a few years ago at least) they were selling pints of the PPP ale for like 2 bucks. Can't beat that after a hike.
