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. (NB: The 12 mile number is from Gaia GPS, and I’m fairly certain that it draws mileage from a 2-D model, not taking elevation into account. This is especially significant where Wildcat A […]
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?!
Most people hike Mt Isolation from the east, crossing Rocky Branch half a dozen times. But what about the west side, by the Dry River Trail?
As dangerous as it is, Flume Slide Trail has some excitement, for sure. Tripyramid obviously wins for views, but there are many reasons to hike a trail.
Hiking up Adams can be straightforward, if you want it to be. But adding some complications can create a more sophisticated route. A more straightforward trail might not have as much to discover.
Mt Washington (6,288 feet), Mt Clay (5,533 feet), Mt Jefferson (5,716 feet). Coos County, NH. 2020-09-03 (Thursday.)

Temps ranged in the low to high 50s, and into the low 60s throughout the day, and depending on mountain. Winds were negligible, about 2-3 knots at the Mount Washington Observatory. Sunny with clouds in the […]
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!
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!
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.
