Crawford Notch - Mt Jackson 4025ft
by gr8outdoors on Nov 23, 2012
Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, United States
Hiking | 4.9 miles
No Doubt a challenging Hike but the 1st 4,000 FT in NH.  Only 47 more to go!  Despite the 50 degree day the trail needed microspikes at a majority of points as we approached Mt. Jackson.  Our later start prohibitied a longer lunch at Summit becaus of the earlier sunset.  We did have the fortunate experience to see a few birds that clearly were not intimidated by people but rather knew the...

Pinkham Notch - Pine Mountain

Gorham, New Hampshire, United States
Hiking | 3.4 miles
An overcast day, but none-the-less a great loop to some wonderful vistas....  We did not make Chapel Rock because of the weather but the views from Pine Mountain were incredible.  With a pending overnight to Carter Notch Hut it was great to see the notch from a far and put it in perspective.

Zealand Hut - Crawford Notch
by gr8outdoors on Nov 12, 2011
Whitefield, New Hampshire, United States
Hiking | 5.7 miles
Our second day trip to a hut in the AMC system.... assuming non-winter conditions this is a great day trip with kids.... their are a few sections of rocky terrain but otherwise the trail follows an abandoned railroad log trail.  Their are a variety of loops you could complete assuming you have the ability to drop a vehicle...  overnight guests could also use Zealand Hut as a great launch point for other day hikes...

A great hike up to an AMC hut.... The Lonesome Lake Hut is one of the easiest and quickest to access hust from a Trailhead.  Total of 3.2 miles includes the loop around the lake.  Our visit was enhanced with a Bull Moose siting.... Only our second and certainly best in all the years visiting NH....  Looking forward to a couple hut to hut hikes next summer!

Sunfish Pond via Old Mine Road
by gr8outdoors on Oct 09, 2011
Hardwick, New Jersey, United States
Hiking | 4.9 miles
Sadly it’s been some time since we got out for a good ole fashion family hike. This is a great access point to Sunfish Pond that is much quieter than the Route 80 Access point via the AT or Dunnfield Creek Trail. Even on a Sunday this was very lightly travelled. The trail has a few sections of pretty steep elevation gain but the entire route, inclusive of a loop around the pond comes in under 5...
