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.
A very pleasant hike on a very friendly trail. A balm from the chaos, with narrow, but still good views.
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.
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.

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!
Mud season put the kibosh on plans to hike elsewhere, so I hiked up to the fire tower on Red Hill in Moultonborough, NH
