It’s not a scenic trail. There’s history. But why hike here? What’s the draw?
This turned out to be a fair bit longer a trip than I expected. On the whole, this wasn’t a bad thing.
Two years ago, I hiked out to Thoreau Falls from the west, along Ethan Pond trail. Now, let’s see what the eastern half looks like…
East Pond and it’s little sibling are two hidden gems.
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.

It’s been slowly resolving itself, but not to […]
This is from the hike I did in January, where the views were short, but hey, that’s how things go sometimes. It was a good outing nonetheless, proving Kinsman Ridge is a great hike just about any time.
This week, my gift to you is a video of my hike up Mt Whiteface this past December. It was a beautiful day on a beautiful mountain. Enjoy!
It’s the long-awaited video from my hike up North Twin Mountain, on 21 January, 2021. A cold and snowy day, with no views… a New England Classic!
