The White Mountain National Forest - 1,225 square miles of wilderness, waterfalls, epic hikes and one of the best places to view the fall foliage in the United States. In this video, I will outline a 3 day itinerary, including when to visit for peak color, how to get there and how to get around, where to stay, what to see and options for accommodations.
Today weāre hiking Blueberry Mountain in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
The wilderness of Maine hides many secrets. The Bigelow Range overlooking Flagstaff Lake offers truly breathtaking views. The Bigelow preserve spans across 36 thousand acres. Join us as we hike Mt Bigelowās Avery and West Peaksā and discover the secrets of the Maine wilderness for ourselves.
The Maine Coast is filled with magical seaside towns out of a picture book, but the best kept secret might be Monhegan, an hour off the coast. An island artist colony with a dozen art studios, most of which are open to the public and featuring a great network of hiking trails as well as several shops and eateries.
Today was the day. After years of hiking the lesser peaks of the New Hampshire 48, I was finally ready to hike the ultimate peak - Mt Washington. Really, I donāt know what took me so long to finally climb the tallest peak in the Northeast. Maybe I was...
The sun is shining down on the endless expanse of hills and forests as weāre driving through the Northern White Mountains to Jefferson, NH. The goal is to peakbag yet another 4k footer before the day is through - Mt Waumbek in the Pliny Range, the second Northernmost of the NH48. Today, I am accompanied by...

This past weekend I woke up way too early as normal and headed towards White Mountains National Forest. This time however, I planned to spend a long weekend and attempt my longest backpacking adventure to date...
It is 7:30 am and Iāve arrived in Ferncroft, NH for my day of peakbagging Mt Whiteface and Mt Passaconway. Unlike the other trailheads Iāve been to that typically start at the side of a road or at a campsite, the Blueberry Ledge trail had me cut through private drives - donāt worry, trespassing hikers were welcomed. The Blueberry Ridge trail is part of the āTerrifying 25ā - or 25...
A few years back, I started my quest to climb all 48 of the New Hampshire 4,000 footers. Today, I made a major milestone. With my 24th peak summited, I made the halfway mark. We reached the Eisenhower trailhead around 7:30 and started our ascent. Unlike Tecumseh which apparently is a popular climb, we didnāt encounter a single soul until we reached the Crawford path climbing the 4,760 foot mountain a few hours into the hike.
