The sublime is found in the quietude. You, the trail, the mountain, fresh air. Hiking North Pack Monadnock had all that in spades. Perfect.
Spring Hiking

Mt Isolation is tough. The trail itself isn’t hard, per se, but there’s a lot of mileage, and in the warmer months, there’s a few tough water crossings. In the winter, there’s a bushwhack. And did I mention miles? But it’s an amazing summit with stellar views of Mt Washington. It’ll steal your breath away!
Mt Sunapee has a lot to offer a hiker, so why were there no crowds on those trails?
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.
After a 20 year hiatus, I finally step foot again on Chocorua. Worth every minute, I enjoyed a quite easy trail, even if it’s still very muddy out.
Spring hiking bears the risk of a very muddy trail, but perseverance pays off. In this case, with abundant flora, and great views from the summit.
An easier 4,000 footer, with surprising views of nearby mountains, and abundant spring wildflowers along the trail.
Hiking Wildcat is odd, in that it should feel harder than it is. And yet, it’s a fine day out. Even in the snow.
Mud season put the kibosh on plans to hike elsewhere, so I hiked up to the fire tower on Red Hill in Moultonborough, NH
The Osceolas are at once a relatively short hike, but very steep and strenuous. Yet they have some of the best views in the Whites.
A fine spring afternoon on an easy hike up Mt Surprise, in Gorham, NH.
