Glenn and I have been on a couple of interesting hikes during the past fortnight. Two weeks ago we ‘conquered ‘mount Welch – Dickey. A very diverse and at parts, quite challenging hike.

One Sunday, I returned to the Lincoln Woods trailhead having decided to explore the East Side Trail. The weather was glorious, shorts and short sleeve weather. Our visiting Labrador – Lloyd – was my ‘ever keen’ hiking partner. He tried jump into the high, fast and dangerous Pemigewasset River repeatedly.
The hike to the Wilderness boundary, [...]

Sunday afternoon, I headed north to the Kancamagus Highway. Our Dalmatian Maggie joined me. She wouldn’t have been so keen to jump in the car, if she’d known that we would be taking a six-mile walk through the woods.
We reached our destination 25 minutes after leaving the Inn. The Lincoln Woods Trail parallels a beautiful, [...]

At 3 miles you will come to a traffic circle. Stay to your right towards Rumney and Warren. Continue three more [...]

Two guests told me about a wonderful hike in Franconia Notch State Park earlier this summer. I finally managed to ‘escape’ from the inn last Saturday and headed 25 minutes north. My destination was Lonesome Lake, which is nestled in the mountains 1,000 feet above the floor of the notch. It is reached by a [...]

Many of our guests love hiking. We do too.
East and West Rattlesnake are very prominent mountains, which rise 700 feet above the northern shore of Squam Lake. The Old Bridle Path from NH 113 to West Rattlesnake is the most heavily used trail in the Sqaum Region. This gradual trail provides easy access to the views of [...]

Your hike to the top of the mountain will cover 2.1 miles and take approximately 90 [...]
