Located on the Kancamagus Highway in NH, this is an easy .7 out and back trail that leads to a waterfall. There’s also a longer loop trail you can take. Crampons are recommended for the winter, and note that part of the trail is closed off over the falls. The fourth shot is of the Pemigewasset Overlook, a few miles to the east.

A great loop in Barre that goes by a variety of quarries. We didn’t get far on this one based on the amount of snow… looking forward to doing it again when it is a little clearer.

A decent 1.8 mile hike that starts out a bit steep but becomes easier as you go. The payoff here is an absolutely stunning overlook of Littleton, NH and the distant White Mountains.

A nice way to close out the year. Pull into Loon Mountain and hook a left. The parking leaves a bit to be desired, so you might want to go early. This is a 2.3 mile loop, half of which runs along the river.

Wells River – No Ice Yet

I had hoped it would have a bit of ice around it, but apparently a river needs more than a couple of days in the 20s to get all arrrrg, ice. Soon. This is just above our house. Great white water kayaking spot in the spring, or any time a hurricane meanders through.

Big Deer Mountain, Groton, Vermont

Where: Big Deer Mountain, Groton, Vermont

When: 11/11/20

Yeah, I did some hiking last week. Great weather, and had to get it in before pew pew pew. This is Big Deer Mountain. Basically start at New Discovery SP and head to Peacham, then hook a right. I tried this last winter, but three feet of snow heading up the mountain stopped me. Thank God. This is about a mile and half out to the base, then .5 miles pretty much straight up. I think the overlook is Lake Groton, although there are a bunch of lakes up there… need to confirm with a map.

Kinder Memorial Forest Castello Trail, N. Haverhill, NH

When: 11/9/20

OK, I have to admit, I was a bit leery of the power lines. Let’s go hiking, have our hair stand on end, receive radio stations through our fillings. Great hike though, although the lower loop is still a bit of a mystery. You actually cut through the power line corridor, but most of the trail is wooded, an easy grade. H/t to North Haverhill – well maintained trail, and a lot of fun.

When: 11/7/20

So, you go to Profile Lake in the White Mountains and you take a picture of where the Old Man used to be, before he de-faced. Yeah, not so much. This is the lake that he watched over. We headed up to hike a short trail that apparently started atop Cannon Mountain. A bit much for that day. So, hike around Profile Lake. Great day!

Date: 10/19/20

A bit of a hike to get here, but Peacham Bog is worth a visit any time of the year. The signage (and tree over the trail) give one just a little pause as you step out onto the boardwalk over what – one imagines – is the peat equivalent of quicksand, but we’re all a bit tattered at the end of the season, no?

This was very close to peak, taken at Stillwater. The boat to the right is actually a local lobsterman off to check his traps. Once again, they will be empty, but a resilient breed are those Vermont lobstermen, and tomorrow is another day. Owl Mountain is in the background.
