I knew that Mt. Tom was going to be a viewless summit- but I didn’t realize that Mt. Field and Mt. Willey would be too. When I did my research, I originally only looked up Mt. Tom and then a trail map on how the three peaks are connected. I’m definitely someone who hikes for views so it was a little disappointing to be greeted by three piles of rocks, but it is what it is!
Read MoreLocated in Carroll, New Hampshire, Mount Jackson is one of the shorter 4000’ers at 4,052’. My friend Kayleigh and I started this hike at midnight on October 8th, summited just before 2am, and then laid out our sleeping pads and sleeping bags until sunrise.
The hike up was easy-moderate, it wasn’t super steep but the majority of the path involved stepping around rocks and roots- it felt like more than some trails. The end of the trail was the hardest with some scrambling to do. My guess is this would have been a little easier to do in the daylight!
Read MoreWHAT. A. HIKE. (I say this in a good way). This 8.4 mile loop takes you up Falling Waters Trail to Little Haystack Mountain, then across the Franconia Ridge Trail to Mount Lincoln and Mount Lafayette, and down Greenleaf + Old Bridal Trails. You could do this in reverse, but and ascent on Falling Waters Trail was what All Trails recommended and I agree this was the better/easier way to complete the loop

Lupines, a perennial, 3-6 ft tall flower bloom for a short period of time but put on quite a show. The town is so well known for it’s fields of lupines that they have a Lupine Festival every summer.
Read MoreWe reached the Garfield Mountain campsite before dark and took a look around at the tent platforms and lean-to. We chose the first platform as it had no snow on it and it was closest to the cooking area. When we started to cook dinner it was already pitch black out.
Read MoreThis was my second time hiking Mount Moosilauke and it did not disappoint. I like this mountain because I find the forest here to be particularly beautiful and the hike itself is moderate so you can really enjoy yourself without getting too exhausted.
Read MoreThe Hemlock Hideout is a true gem in the woods of New Hampshire. This New Hampshire AirBnb is a safari-style-tent treehouse at the entrance of the Platt Family’s 100 acres in Salisbury. It was designed and built by one of their seven children, and you can tell it was designed and built with care.
Read MoreThe Kinsman Ridge Trail to Cannon Mountain- let’s talk about it! Steep! Nature’s stair stepper! The Kinsman Ridge Trail will make your legs feel something the next day. Again, I don’t know why people call this trail moderate, I would put it more on the difficult side because of how steep it is. Don’t be afraid to whip out those hiking poles- you won’t look weak.
Read MoreMount Willard is one of my favorite places to hike in the White Mountains. Why? Because it is short. Ha. Plus it has a killer view, so what’s not to love?! Because it is a quick and easy hike, it makes it a great trail for a sunrise (or sunset) hike.

Read MoreLeaf peeping in the White Mountains was in full swing this weekend. Cars were lined up for a good half a mile at least from many trail heads and trails were heavily trafficked. I did two quick hikes: Mount Willard and Artists Bluff.
