NH 4000 Footer Guides, Peakbagging, Trip Reports

Crockers and Redington (Maine)

In 2012 I finished the NH 4000-footer list and this year my goal is to complete the New England 67 list. There are only 19 mountains to hike, but the traveling time is longer, making these...

Franconia Ridge Traverse

In the past year and a half I have been on the Franconia Ridge three times. It is a truly spectacular range and one that I hold close to my heart. It’s the place where I hiked my...

Monroe and Washington (Winter)

Belknap Range Hike 1: Piper, Whiteface, Belknap

I had planned a nice 10.5 mile hike of the Belknap region with my Meetup group on Saturday, but the forecast changed from 30% precipitation to 70%. It was supposed to rain all day Sunday as...
