It was a long day, and it was a wet day. But it was fulfilling type II fun, with the gift of lady slippers at the end. North and South Twin are hard, but very rewarding.
After turning back before summiting Sandwich Mountain, I returned half a year later, for a hike that didn't disappoint.
After a 20 year hiatus, I finally step foot again on Chocorua. Worth every minute, I enjoyed a quite easy trail, even if it's still very muddy out.
Spring hiking bears the risk of a very muddy trail, but perseverance pays off. In this case, with abundant flora, and great views from the summit.
An easier 4,000 footer, with surprising views of nearby mountains, and abundant spring wildflowers along the trail.
Hiking Wildcat is odd, in that it should feel harder than it is. And yet, it's a fine day out. Even in the snow.

It was a bluebird day, so why not hike an old friend? Mt Monadnock was in fine shape, and the views were stellar!
