Fourth time’s the charm! I finally got to hike Whiteface in beautiful weather, with unprecedented views into The Bowl. But was that all?
Water Crossings
The trio make for an easier trip than most. But that’s not to say that a hike up Tom, Field, and Willey is going to be without substance. There’s a lot to enjoy here, even if the clouds and fog have wiped out the view.
Early season snow can add a challenge to any hike. When you’re doing a 4,000 footer near the Presidential Range, weather becomes a bigger question.
Getting to the Rainbow Trail isn’t necessarily easy. But it’s so worth it.
The Wildcats are fun, but most people know them from the “front” side. What are they like from the other side? Awesome!
Wildcat Mountain D & A (4,062 and 4,422 feet, respectively). Jackson, NH. 2020-10-14 (Wednesday). Via Wildcat Valley X-C Ski Trail, Wildcat Ridge Trail, 19 Mile Brook Trail, Wildcat River Trail, Bog Brook Trail.. Approximately 12 miles round-trip.

Hiking Owl’s Head “by the book” is not very easy. Throw two bushwhacks into the mix, and you get something that’s quite a bit easier. Wait… what?!
No photo of Nancy Cascades will ever do it justice. So you just have to go out there and see for yourself!
Hiking Mahoosuc Notch is a noteworthy achievement for anyone. But is it really as tough as people make it to be?
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?
