Pumpelly Trail up Monadnock isn’t one of the easier routes — indeed, that goes to the nearby Dublin Trail. But maybe there’s something more?
A Pemi Loop is a long hike, no doubt about it. But for the hiker bagging 4,000 footers, it’s a chance to hike a dozen of them.
I don’t know how the words “Pemi Loop” can’t equate with “tough.” But sometimes, there’s no easy way to enjoy such an amazing experience. And maybe that’s the point.
Mt Wolf, from Kinsman Notch, is hard. But while hiking that bit of the Kinsman Ridge trail, you’ll find that the water at Eliza Brook is ice cold and delicious.
Hiking Monadnock from the north, at the southern end of the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway, proves yet again that the mountain has differences.
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?
The northern half of the Moats is going to make you work for the peak. But the prize at the top is absolutely glorious.
Mt Carrigain is a classic hike, for all the right reasons. But is the Desolation Trail… desolate? Is there something more?
A magical day in late springtime? On the Kancamagus Highway? Of course! Greeley Ponds has all the magic you could want.
Many know Pawtuckaway as a place to go bouldering, or to climb the fire tower. But it’s also a good place to reconnect with the woods.
