No photo of Nancy Cascades will ever do it justice. So you just have to go out there and see for yourself!

Hiking Eisenhower is itself an epic hike. Adding Monroe to the trip just makes it better. Coffee at Lakes of the Clouds? Now that’s icing on the cake!
Howker Ridge Trail going up Mt Madison is described as strenuous, rugged, and rocky. But is it that bad? What’s the draw?
Hiking Mahoosuc Notch is a noteworthy achievement for anyone. But is it really as tough as people make it to be?
Mt Tecumseh might not be four thousand feet, but it still carries its weight as well as any four thousand footer.
Mt Hale is a short hike to the summit. So how to bulk out the day? Add a couple other side-destinations, of course!
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.
