The last of winter hiking for this season saw me heading out toward the Sawyer River along an old rail bed.

2 months of convalescing was enough. 8 miles of tramping around in the woods was just the prescription I needed. A day in Lincoln Woods is time well spent.
Mt Washington doesn’t give up the goods easily, but if you’re patient, perhaps you’ll get lucky. But be prepared for snowy, whiteout conditions.
North and South Kinsman offer great views, an easy ascent, and a quick and painless traverse across the col. What’s not to like?
An antipodean hike with both sunny and cloudy conditions — a bluebird afternoon with almost limitless views… of clouds below.
There are steep sections, there’s an easy-going col. There’s a comfortably easy hike in. There are views from the top. The Hancocks have it all.
When a sunny day’s hike turns dark and cloudy, you take what you can. No worries: Zealand has plenty on offer.
A tough hike that yields little in the way of boundless views. But it remains a classic hike.
The traverse of Wildcat-Carter-Moriah is long and arduous. But its component parts are worth returning to for all the right reasons.
Owl’s Head is longer, steeper, and more strenuous than you’d imagine, but the long walk in is serene, with many gurgling brooks as your soundtrack.
Owl’s Head is far enough into the Pemigewasset Wilderness that you need to take weather changes into account. But even though you may not summit, you might just find a few pleasant surprises along the way.
On the summit, Mt Isolation feels just that. But on the way up, you can enjoy some of the most breathtaking views that more than make up for the difficulty of the hike.
