Hi Mike, I know this is an old thread but was curious if you ever did make it to the Brandy Brow Hill summit and if so, what was your route? Thanks, Karl

Hi - We hiked Cannon via the Hi-Cannon Trail which was much tougher than I had anticipated. There's a couple images below of the views. A full trip report and set of pics are here: https://livefreeandhikenh.blogspot.com/2016/09/cannon-mountain-via-hi-cannon-trail.html

Crawford is one of my favorite peaks and I don't feel like it gets enough recognition. Nice photos and report!

Thanks...I suck!

Hi - Took the kids to Acadia a week ago and hiked South Bubble, to Bubble Rock. It's really a great hike for kids as many of the Acadia mountains are. My full trip report and set of pictures is here: http://livefreeandhikenh.blogspot.com/2016/08/south-bubble-and-bubble-rock-acadia.html...

Hi John - No graffiti that I saw on any of the boulders. It was a great, scenic hike all around! Karl

Hi Everyone - This is definitely not an epic peak by any means, but I was surprisingly pleased how nice the trail up to Catamount Hill in Bear Brook State Park was for younger kids. It gave you the feel of being on a mountain, but not too long for the kids to lose their attention. My four year...

Hi RollingRock It was definitely a great hike...one that I hope to visit multiple times too! Karl

Hi Everyone, We were able to get up to Wilmont to hike Mount Kearsarge this past Saturday. We did so via the Rollins Trail from the south. It was a great hike because it was my son's first hike, my daughter's first that she hiked 100% on her own two feet (with Keenes) and my daughter's 5th...

Hi Everyone, My 3 year old and I are working on the Tower Quest NH project and this past weekend we visited the Warner Hill Fire Tower in Derry. On the third platform up the stairs, we got massively swarmed by aggressive wasps. In an effort to hold her, run down the stairs and swat them off her...

Great photos, Rob! The brightness of the blue skies are incredible! I love the first few waterfall pics too. I definitely need to get out there and check out the Adirondacks sometime! Karl

Great pics. I always love the pictures of the birds. It's hard to get that camera out and focus it before they take off!

I think I'm more confused on which falls is Waternomee Falls after reading this thread!!! Here are a couple images of the falls near the trail up to the Bomber site that someone mentioned may be Airmen's Falls.
