First Hike of the New Year

Happy New Year!  We were going to head down to Monadnock for our first of the year hike, but the 3.5 hour drive at 6am felt too long and uncomfortable.  Plus, Lindsay only gets to be home for the short weekends and was not looking forward to driving back to our old neighborhood.  I’m sure…

Favorite Mountain

A couple of weeks ago we hiked up East Royce Mountain in Evans Notch, Maine and we may have found a new favorite mountain!  It was a relatively short but steep hike, ascending through two distinct forest types while following water just about the entire way.  The climb culminated with wonderful 360 views on two summits.
