    No laughing: stroller friendly hikes

    Thanks for the ideas! Now what happened to that sunny Tuesday that was forcast last week? I do have a carrier for the kid, and we've had many adventures together out hiking. The part she likes best is the awesome snacks she gets when we get to where we're going. That, and pinecones...

    No laughing: stroller friendly hikes

    Any suggestions for short hikes that would be feasible with a jogging stroller? For example, Sabbaday Falls and Liverpool Rd are smooth enough. Just wondering if there were more areas in or around the whites that are essentially handicap accessable. Not handicapped myself, just have a two year...

    Is it possible to be a long-term hiker without resorting to lists?

    For me, the lists got me into hiking. I hiked with my family every summer growing up, so I had already done a few big hikes. Then I read Following Atticus. Got the idea in my head that I should finish the 4Ks. So I worked on that for a season, and loved it. Every hike had something magical, but...

    My klutzy rottweiler climbed the caps trail, needing a push on a couple scrambles.

I chose that trail for her first presidential for the purpose of testing...

    tripyramid slide

    I'm not Sierra, but I took my dog up the north slide. I wouldn't take her on that trail again. She's a great hiker, very sensible, and knows her limits. She's done tough trails like the Caps ridge, wildcat ridge, and glen boulder and just needed an occasional boost. But the north slide was scary...

    Favorite very short hikes in the Whites?

    Thanks for the ideas. We'll have to do some exploring! Haven't hiked since October, and I was certainly huffing and puffing on our little loop hike. Maybe these trips can help me get back up to speed so I can do a bigger one. See you out there. I'll be the very slow hiking girl with the little...

    Favorite very short hikes in the Whites?

    When you don't have the time, energy or equipment to climb a mountain, but still find yourself up in the mountains, where do you go? A perennial favorite of my family and me is Square Ledge in Pinkham Notch. Or at the very least we'll walk down to check out Glen Ellis falls. I just hiked the...
