You have to take what the mountains give you. But sometimes you find that it’s exactly what you need. The trail provides.
Why suffer the hardship, the pain, the miles of the Pemi Loop? What’s there? Oh wow, lots.
East Pond and it’s little sibling are two hidden gems.
Hiking Monadnock from the north, at the southern end of the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway, proves yet again that the mountain has differences.
Waumbek is one of the shortest four thousand footers, but also really sweet, and along with its companion Starr-King, doesn’t disappoint.
