As we continue to hike the different sections of the Georges Highland Path in Maine, we came across a gem of a mountain: Hogback Mountain. Also, the Gibson Preserve. A spectacular view from the summit of Hogback Mountain to the mountains of Acadia made it a well worthwhile trek. Here's the...

Our last major hike of our fall vacation would take us to 3 mountains on the 52 WAV list. The weather had been fantastic all week. We still consider the end of October one of the most beautiful times of the year for hiking in the White Mountains. The hike began crossing the Bemis Bridge...

Since we have hike Cannon Mountain many times and the Kinsmans, we thought a hike from the northern end NH112 to Mount Wolf along Kinsman Ridge would be a bit of a change. The trail begins steeply for the first six tenths mile [/CENTER] Even after the leaves are off the trees the forest is...

On two other attempts over the years we have not been successful in seeing any views from the top of Mount Cardigan. Today would prove different. At the junction for Mount Cardigan The going may get tough Donna tackling one of the steepest sections of the Holt Trail. Life doesn't...

Our spring vacation to Maine only allowed us time for one major hike in Acadia. We had hiked Dorr Mountain many times over the years but had never done this loop. We began our hike along the Park Loop Road about a half mile from where we parked the car and would finish the hike. It was a...

The week went by fast and before you knew it we were planning our last day of hiking in the mountains. We decided on a couple favorites in the Franconia Notch area; Bald Mountain, Artist Bluff and Flume Gorge. The view from Bald Mountains towards Cannon and Mittersill Skiing areas. The...

Last winter after hearing that the trail to Mount Isolation was packed and easy to reach the summit, we thought we might give it a go. As it turned out, the plan didn’t come together. This winter, with our friends Mark and Natalie Truman, who were to be in NH for a four day weekend, the idea...

Our third hike of our winter vacation would be a group hike with our good friends Mark and Natalie Truman, Karen Maineri and Kevin, Emma and Judy, (whom we would finally meet in person). We met at the parking lot on Dundee Road at 10:45 and by 11 am we were ready to head up the ski trail to...

The second hike of our winter vacation took us once again to the Sugarloafs and Goose Pond in Wellington State Park. We had hiked the 4.5 loop in the fall of 2011. The hike takes on a whole different feeling especially on a snowy, winter day. One of the highlights of this trip was spending...

On Tuesday 2/26/13 I lost a tripod on Mount Isolation trail between the bushwack and the summit. If found please drop off the tripod at the Lodge at Jackson Village on Route 16 in Jackson, N.H. Please PM me if found also. Thanks, Mike.

All through the night it had poured making us unsure if we would be able to hike the Tripyramids on Tuesday. According to the weather channel, the rain was to stop around 3 am. When we woke up at 5:30 it appeared the rain had indeed stopped, so we headed out for hearty breakfast at Peg's. The...

Several years ago we saw this YouTube video and since that time we have wanted to hike to East Pond and today was the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aRQkJnU8RU It's a short hike; 1.4 miles with an 800' elevation gain to the pond from the Tripoli Road trailhead. In no time you are at...

One of the goals of our fall vacation was to add several 4000 footers to our list of the NH 48. We drove 45 minutes from Bristol to the trailhead for Mount Whiteface along Ferncroft Road. This area is so different from most trailheads in that it has a real “country” feel. The lot was...

I am sure those of you who have hiked the Baldfaces in Evans Notch would agree that it is one of the gems of the White Mountains. We had hiked the loop back in October 2001 and would hike them again as the final hike of our fall vacation. Mark and Natalie had planned the hike with Trish and...

After loosing a hiking day to rain, the following day, we said; “lets do a hike we haven’t done in years." So we decided on Norumbega Mountain on the quiter side of Acadia to be our first summit of the day. The last time we hike Norumbega was in 1992. After driving to the trailhead we...

It had been two years since we had been to Maine so we decided it was time to spend a week in Maine. Our plan was to have several hikes in Acadia National Park during our four day stay in Bar Harbor. We love the views from Champlain and along the ridge so we headed out to Route 3 and began...

We had heard many good things about the Ossipees and here was our opportunity to give them a try since we were using Brisol, NH as our base for the last two days of our winter vacation. After a fantastic breakfast at the Henry Whipple House (B & B), we were ready to go. The trailhead was...

Donna and I did a couple of short hikes in Maine near Fryeburg while we were still on the Jackson side of town. Jockey Cap proved interesting in that at the top stood a structure which looks like the knight piece of a chess set. Looking closer it was actually a device which would allow someone...

We took several short hikes around Pinkham Notch to Lady's Lookout, Square Ledge, Lost Pond and Glen Ellis Falls. After dinner, we returned to Lost Pond for an evening hike under the stars. The view from Lady's Lookout towards Mount Washington. Mount Washington from Square Ledge. On...
