This turned out to be a fair bit longer a trip than I expected. On the whole, this wasn’t a bad thing.

Two years ago, I hiked out to Thoreau Falls from the west, along Ethan Pond trail. Now, let’s see what the eastern half looks like…
East Pond and it’s little sibling are two hidden gems.
OK, so short and sweet this time. Today was spent kayaking with a friend. There wasn’t as much as I’d have liked, owing to weather (it turned out to be windier than expected, and clouds were looking a bit on the ornery side) but… skills! Notably, “What happens when things go sideways?” When you’re hiking, the risk of getting utterly soaked are fairly low unless it’s pouring with rain. But […]
Powder Mill Pond is slow, with lots of little nooks to explore. On a sunny day, it’s a cool way to get outside and have some fun.
The fun part of posting any kind of media about my hikes, is that I have a fantastic vehicle to go back and recall the day.
Mt Watatic is the southern terminus of the Wapack trail. Great views abound, on a family friendly hike.
Sometimes hiking in the rain is more fun than you’d ever expect. If it cools down an oppressively hot day, so much the better!
The southern end of the Wapack trail has much of the easier hiking. But that doesn’t mean all the fun is to the north…
Hike up New Ipswich Mountain via the Wapack trail, and you’ll be rewarded with the perfect secret picnic spot with outstanding views!
Today was far from everything, but close to home. A welcome hike without the long drive. Awesome.
Hike local. Seriously, just do it. You never know what you’ll find. And often, there’ll be that gem that sticks with you.
