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.
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.
