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.
Mt Sunapee has a lot to offer a hiker, so why were there no crowds on those trails?
AMC high huts are closed, and the White Mountain hiker shuttle is similarly grounded for the season. But other options for trampers remain.
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.
Happily hiking Hedgehog Mountain in New Hampshire. It was a glorious day on a glorious trail, with glorious views. What more do you need?
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.
2 months of convalescing was enough. 8 miles of tramping around in the woods was just the prescription I needed. A day in Lincoln Woods is time well spent.
