What’s there to say about Waumbek? The trail is short and on easy grades, but there’s no real view. What about “it’s that old, soft flannel shirt that feels so amazing”?
Mt Monadnock in southern New Hampshire is the gift that keeps on giving. Hiked from any side, views abound, and adventure awaits.
Hiking Monadnock from the north, at the southern end of the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway, proves yet again that the mountain has differences.
A magical day in late springtime? On the Kancamagus Highway? Of course! Greeley Ponds has all the magic you could want.
Many know Pawtuckaway as a place to go bouldering, or to climb the fire tower. But it’s also a good place to reconnect with the woods.
Ragged Mountain is tough, to be true, but its views both far and near make it well worth the effort.
A very pleasant hike on a very friendly trail. A balm from the chaos, with narrow, but still good views.
Wildflowers on Mt Sunapee — spring has sprung! It was certainly worth coming back for a second hike on this fine mountain.
Pitcher Mountain is another New Hampshire short hike, but with a fire tower on top, it has very long views.
North Uncanoonuc Mountain is the higher of the two, but nonetheless, offers great views, and a quick, kid-friendly trail.
Lovewell Mountain is a great, family friendly hike. Limited views from the summit don’t diminish all the neat stuff you can see down at your feet.
