Easy Hikes

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.
