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.
Artist’s Bluff. One of the most iconic viewpoints of the White Mountains of New Hampshire in breathtaking fall. So iconic that you can expect the mountain to be swamped with people during peak hours in Autumn. Join us as we hike Bald Mountain and Artist’s Bluff and learn tips to beat the crowds, what the terrain is like, what to wear - and if you’re allergic to crowds, some alternative hikes.

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 don’t 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 we’re driving through the Northern White Mountains to Jefferson, NH.

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 I’ve arrived in Ferncroft, NH for my day of peakbagging Mt Whiteface and Mt Passaconway. Unlike the other trailheads I’ve 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 - don’t worry, trespassing hikers were welcomed. The Blueberry Ridge trail is part of the “Terrifying 25” - or 25...
Remember in my last post when I mentioned that there were 48 4,000 footers in the New Hampshire White Mountains? Well today I learned that was a big fat lie.
Early in July, Massachusetts and New Hampshire came together in agreement that New England is handling the pandemic pretty well - get your shit together Georgia and Florida - and lifted the mutual mandatory/suggested quarantine for visitors from the other state (take a hint Maine). For me that means more hiking in my favorite spot - The White Mountains - as well as opening me up to New Hampshire breweries.
