This would be a lucky, ducky day; My brother thought all night of his friends foolish way; Foolish to be climbing Mt. Washington in snow coulds of gray; Forocious winds and 20 below windchills the report did say; So a call I got at 7:30 in the morning; My brother did call and ask if I was...

Scott & I actually rested and up early for once arrived at the Baldface Circle Trail destined to make an Eagle Craig ascent! It was cold but nothing like the weekend before! We geared up and headed across the street to the trail head at 9:38am. The trail was hard and crusty and well packed...

Scott & I had planned on hiking Israel Mt. on this unseasonally warm day and headed to Center Sandwich under blue sky's. I wasn't sure how far in Sandwich Notch Rd. was plowed but was hopefull we would make it to the Wentworth trail head. Well, the plowed road stopped at Diamond Ledge Rd. and a...

Saturday was forecasted to be cold but clear and it was just that when we got going in the morning. I decided on a small peak (small/lesser known peaks seem to be my calling card) which I have had on my "check me out list" for some time now...Peaked Mt. 1,739' (Green Hills Preserve - Nature...

After a tuff night (as it's been all week) of vacuuming up never-ending sand at my cleaning accounts I finally fell asleep in my comfy bed around 5am ... thinking, "it's supposed to be clear on Wednesday, maybe if I get up early enough I will hike Blue Job." Well some pion in my body was...

My mom left me a message on my phone New Years Eve night that she was hiking Mt. Major (Alton, NH) in the morning. I was game, and was up on time to meet her at 10:00am. The lot was surprisingly 1/2 full. Despite this we saw only a couple people on the trails. The skies were overcast and there...

With such a nice day forecasted I thought this would be my last chance this year to make another run on White Ledge which Scott & I did back in May '09. The sky's were clear as we came to the White Ledge Campground where we would park at the gate. Unfortunately the entrance was not plowed and...

Hope I don't bore ya'll with the Mt. Major reports Mom and I were on our own today. We started at 10:15am under mostly sunny sky's. Temps were in the low 30's. Trail was packed nicely with just a few icy spots where the snow had been shaved off. The sun glistened off of the ice sheet over the...

With plans for White Ledge scrapped 'cause Scott needed to sleep in (and he really did need it!) I thought we would try out Blue Job Mt. in Strafford & Farmington, NH. We came across the trailhead sign once in our travels and it spiked my curiosity. We started out of the parking lot at 1:30pm...

With a fresh 5 inches of snow on the ground and beautifully graceing the trees I was off Sunday morning to meet my parents at Mt. Major in Alton. We started at 9:30am, the first there to break-in the trail! Footing was fine most the way up. It got a little tuff on the ledges with 3 ft. snow...

With a sketchy weather report for the mountains I was not sure this would be a good day for a hike. My brother really want to go so I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. The afternoon was supposed to see some improvement so I figured we'd get a late start to hopefuly cash in on some of...

We made our last minute preperations Friday for a Hike-NH group hike for Saturday. I invited my brother along as he had the day off. I was sticking to my plan to hike Guinea Pond trail to Black Mt. Pond trail. I new this would be a longer hike but figured the weather wouldn't be all that great...

Looking for a secluded trail I studied my map and book looking for something that might be less traveled (as I generally do). The Red Rock Mt. "loop" in Maine in the Caribou-Speckled Wilderness seemed appropriate. After taking what I thought might be a short cut through Maine (instead of going...

I had noticed this chain of ledge sided peaks last year and finally made the trip. It would be Tiny Tornado/Tracey, Ascender/Scott and myself (Excape/Jason). I made my way from NH 16 and onto the "Kanc", took a right onto Bear Notch Rd. which was clogged with byciclists (I take this way to avoid...

Being very interested since I read the description on the Sandwich Dome Algonquin Trail, I thought Ascender/Scott and I would check it out. I drove through Wolfeboro and up Rt. 109 to Rt. 113 coming close to hitting three deer around a bend in the road ...glad I was paying attention as I try to...

The day began with the usual drive up Rt.16 with a lot of traffic for 7:00am on a Sunday. The only break of the monotony on this stretch of highway was a turkey making a mad dash across the road, neck stretched out, just barely being missed by a driver who didn't see the bird until the last...

I chose to hike Sunday this weekend as it was the better day of the holiday weekend and probably least busy. I picked Wildcat originally planning on bagging all 5 peaks, 2 of which are 4000 footers. Scott & I started at the Ellis Falls parking lot hoping we would be able to cross the river (said...

Despite our cancellation of our June 27 hike to celebrate my mothers 50th birthday (and sister backing out due to work) we decided almost at the last minute to take a chance despite the forecast for isolated thunderstorms (most of which were forecasted for late afternoon anyway). It would be my...
