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.
Hiking Mt Thumb and Mt Skatutakee on a pleasant spring afternoon is everything your soul could want.
Fox Research Forest is an easy going hike, with modest grades and smooth trails. Forget the expansive views, and just go to enjoy the forest and the trees.
The last of winter hiking for this season saw me heading out toward the Sawyer River along an old rail bed.
The trail provides. Sometimes it’s just the healing quietude of an otherwise unremarkable trip.
Skipping the peak turned out to be a better idea than I could have ever imagined.
It’s short, it’s sweet, it’s not on a list… it’s a perfect vacation hike!
