Mt Isolation is… isolated. It’s a long, rugged hike in, but the rewards are huge.
Two mountains with a brisk drive in between? Hadn’t done that trick in awhile. But it was totally worth it. Superlative views on a clear day. What’s not to like?
A magical day in late springtime? On the Kancamagus Highway? Of course! Greeley Ponds has all the magic you could want.

Ragged Mountain is tough, to be true, but its views both far and near make it well worth the effort.
Wildflowers on Mt Sunapee — spring has sprung! It was certainly worth coming back for a second hike on this fine mountain.
Owl’s Head is far enough into the Pemigewasset Wilderness that you need to take weather changes into account. But even though you may not summit, you might just find a few pleasant surprises along the way.

Very light intermittent breezes at summits — approximately 2-4 MPH. Via the Tuckerman Ravine trail, and Lion Head trail. Trailhead: 1230. Summit: 1530. Left summit: 1600. Car: 1830. Approximately 9 miles. I’m a sucker for a good cause. Given […]
