Hiking Mahoosuc Notch is a noteworthy achievement for anyone. But is it really as tough as people make it to be?
Mt Tecumseh might not be four thousand feet, but it still carries its weight as well as any four thousand footer.

Hiking with the iNaturalist app can make your outings more interesting, by helping you understand the environment.
The northern half of the Moats is going to make you work for the peak. But the prize at the top is absolutely glorious.
Ragged Mountain is tough, to be true, but its views both far and near make it well worth the effort.
