First, thank you for the warnings of weather, safety, etc. I do appreciate them! Second, I have hiked Jefferson, Eisenhower and several other 4,000 footers, also climbed up Mt. Marcy in the ADK's. I am no super-hiker though and have heard nothing really compares (around here anyway) to...

I am thinking of climbing my way up Mt. Washington for the first time. (although I felt the road suited me just fine) ;) Thought I would see if anyone has any suggestions on which trail to take up and what not. Thanks for sharing! BlueMtn :D

3 ponds is great! My two cents: I really liked this spot. It was my very first over-night and I hiked it in early Spring in rain with some snow. Not difficult until we came to a beaver dam and had to walk across that, got a little wet! I'm not sure of the trail we took in, but it was not...

Can you believe, I have lived in NH for 3 years and have never hiked this trail?! I know it is quite over-populated in nice weather so I am taking my chances here. Is this trail dog-friendly (on a leash)? I hiked Jefferson a few weeks back and would not take her up there due to the rock...

Wow! Ask and you shall receive :) I did the Welch-Dickey Loop yesterday. It was awesome, but that is what motivated me to hike more during the week. The book says easy but I was challenged. The rock slabs drove me nutty. I started at 9:15 am and finished at 1:30 (sat for lunch on the top...

Hi all! I am looking for short, rewarding hikes that are around the Campton, NH area. I live here and am trying to do some hikes after work hours. Given that dark happens around 9pm, the hikes will need to definitely be under 4 hours, 3 is preferred. I am not a super hiker-but am trying to...

Thank you ...I found the link to those sounds. None of them were the same I had heard but could be frightening sounds all the same!

I'm a first timer here so forgive the question if it has already been answered. This is an extension to a previous post I happened upon....Someone mentioned a loud, blood curdling scream from high atop a tree before and it was agreed that the sound may have been a fox. What about a fisher...
