Mt Monadnock in southern New Hampshire is the gift that keeps on giving. Hiked from any side, views abound, and adventure awaits.

Ragged Mountain is tough, to be true, but its views both far and near make it well worth the effort.

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.
