Where to start? A 3 mile hike, on easy grades along logging roads. Great views of the Franconias. Sign me up!

Fourth time’s the charm! I finally got to hike Whiteface in beautiful weather, with unprecedented views into The Bowl. But was that all?
Looking back on the spoils of the day, I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions as I hiked back to the car. It had been a good day out, for sure, and on multiple levels.
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.
A tetralogy of two Tripyramids. Which is to say “that mother of a mountain is hard!” You always get your money’s worth on these peaks.
What’s there to say about Waumbek? The trail is short and on easy grades, but there’s no real view. What about “it’s that old, soft flannel shirt that feels so amazing”?
Carrigain never fails to impress. Even on a cloudy day, it’s got views.
Hiking the southern Presidential range? Yeah, everyone does that. In summer-like conditions during November? Now that’s a very rare treat!
A quick teaser, just to let everyone know how awesome today was on a trip to the southern Presidential mountains. Wow!
I’ve now done this in all four seasons. So what keeps bringing me back? Wow, let me enumerate all those reasons, right? No, it’s too much. Let me sum up…
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.
