Tyson and Isaac agreed to come do a long hike with me. There was some negotiation, even after we started the hike. I wanted to hike 15 miles up over Ragged Mountain, do a loop on some of the Proctor Academy trails, and hike back over the mountain on the Sunapee Ragged Greenway (SRKG). Tyson […]
Before the family event in Jaffrey, Tyson, Isaac, and I went for a mother’s day hike. Despite three inches of rain over the past three days, and more before that, most of the trails weren’t streams. I had fun photographing all the signs of spring. Tyson introduced Isaac and I to the Smith Trail, one […]
We actually did stuff in November, I was just too busy at work to find time to post about it. This was a half day hike we did starting from the Cannon tram parking lot. The trail itself was awfully washed out. In places we were hiking up a gravel canyon as deep as my […]
The leaves have long since turned colors in the valleys and dropped on the slopes of the White Mountains. Last weekend, it snowed on the higher summits. Fall is marching on its inevitable path to winter. Except Saturday was sunny and almost 70F in the mountains. It made for good hiking weather when Benoît came […]
Monday was undeniably not a soaring day. It poured rain overnight. Then drizzled all morning. The clouds choked every valley, and there was no hint of the mountain peaks. A good day for a hike. Oh, and the temperature was forecast to stay a clammy 45F all day long. We picked Basin Cascades and Kinsman […]
I hadn’t expected much of a hike whose prime distinction was being just south of the famously crowded Falling Waters, Lincoln, Lafayette loop. But Tyson had done his research well. The Mt Flume and Mt Liberty loop was a fun hike. The most important question of the hike is, what are these things? The ground […]
Tyson had picked out a hike in the Belknap range, but then we woke up to rain. According to the radar, more rain was coming up from southwestern Massachusetts and heading in the direction of central New Hampshire. Undeterred, I pulled out my maps and guidebooks. Eastern Massachusetts might stay dry. Tyson and I ended […]
All three of us hiked up to Fanconia Falls on Thursday as a fun family event before Isaac went off to summer camp. The hike is 3.5 miles each way, mostly on a wide, gravel railroad grade. Isaac was really excited to show me the deep kettle hole and a wide slide down into a […]
Hiking is easy to do with a family. All you need is a pack with the 10 essentials, and a plan for where to go. When we aren’t doing something else fun, you’ll find us relaxing with a nice hike, or going on a multi-day backing adventure.
