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

I’ve been trying to play catch-up with video footage I’ve collected on past hikes. The most recent? Mt Cabot, in March of 2019. The fun part of all of this is that I’m re-living past hikes. As I write this, the afternoon’s weather was quite warm and pleasant — the kind where you open the windows and let in some fresh air.
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!
A hike on the Sawyer River Trail has no sweeping vistas, but the serenity from being out in the woods is every bit as huge.
Goodrich Rock. Livermore, NH. 2021-04-08 (Thursday.) Via Greeley Ponds Trail and Goodrich Rock Trail. Approx 6 miles round-trip. 70 dF at the trailhead, 75 dF at the summit. Windless. Sun and clouds throughout. Trailhead: 1300. Goodrich Rock: 1500. Car: 1700. Green on Greeley to Goodrich. Last week, I decided to hang low due to an ingrown toenail that’s been giving me grief. It’s been slowly resolving itself, but not to […]
This is from the hike I did in January, where the views were short, but hey, that’s how things go sometimes. It was a good outing nonetheless, proving Kinsman Ridge is a great hike just about any time.
This week, my gift to you is a video of my hike up Mt Whiteface this past December. It was a beautiful day on a beautiful mountain. Enjoy!
It’s the long-awaited video from my hike up North Twin Mountain, on 21 January, 2021. A cold and snowy day, with no views… a New England Classic!
My first time summiting Mt Isolation, I returned via the bushwhack, and was instantly smitten by the birch glades. Of course, I had to return…
Simply put, hikers came out from the woodwork to enjoy glorious weather on Mt Pierce and Mt Eisenhower.
HIking the Jewell Trail up Mt Jefferson îs a great outing unto itself. Add fantastic weather to the mix and you have a lifelong memory.
So the Whites had severe weather this past week: to wit, the winds were howling. I saw the Higher Summits Forecast calling for winds at 50 MPH, heading to 70, with gusts to 105. Screw that noise. I’ve got a few other things on my bucket list apart from “get rescued after mindlessly scaling a trail without checking the weather first.” Dumb. Instead, I hiked Pack Monadnock. Hey, I got […]
