As experienced hikers, we always make sure that we are hiking with The Ten Essentials which include navigation, a headlamp, sun protection, first aid, a knife, shelter, extra food, water and clothes. Overtime, we have discovered some items that we always bring on our hikes and consider them to be our personal, expanded ten essentials.
Read MoreMount Jackson has excellent views of the surrounding Presidentials and many other peaks from its ledgy summit. We did a nice loop hike over Mount Jackson and spent the night in the backcountry by staying at Nauman Tentsite. Check out our experience on this trip!
Read MoreMount Jackson is a part of the southern Presidential Range and has excellent views of the surrounding Presidentials from its ledgy summit. In the winter, Mount Jackson makes for a short hike and a steady climb to the summit which is just above treeline where you can enjoy panoramic views.
Read MoreGalehead Mountain is a part of the Twin Range. The summit itself has no views, but there is a nice viewpoint near the summit that offers a nice vantage point, along with another one near the Galehead Hut. In the winter, Galehead is much more challenging as the road to the trailhead is closed for the season.
Read MoreCannon Mountain is located in Franconia Notch State Park and is part of the Kinsman Range. It is home to Cannon Mountain Ski Area and the former site of the Old Man of the Mountain before it collapsed. In the winter, this peak is bustling with activity due to all of the skiers and snowboarders and offers phenomenal 360 degree views.
Read MoreThis was our first time doing a winter backpacking trip! The first day, we went over Mount Hale and then spent the night at Zealand Falls Hut. The next day, we went over Zealand and the three Bonds (West Bond, Bond, and Bondcliff) and then headed out via Lincoln Woods.
Read MoreMount Whiteface and Mount Passaconaway are located in the Sandwich Range Wilderness. The lookout ledges just below the wooded summit of Mount Whiteface offer great views south towards the Lakes Region. Mount Passaconaway has views to the west and north from a lookout point below the wooded summit.
Read MoreMount Moosilauke is the western most 4,000 footer and dominates its region. The open summit offers incredible panoramic views. Overall, this is a relatively easy hike for a tall 4,000 footer with incredible views. It’s a great peak to start out on in winter as the route is not too difficult and you will also briefly spend time above treeline.
Read MoreThere are two common routes to hike the Kinsmans: from the east taking the Fishin’ Jimmy Trail to make an optional loop or from the west taking the Mount Kinsman Trail as an in and out. For this winter hike, we opted to take the trail less traveled by ascending via the Mount Kinsman Trail because it makes for a more leisurely hike.
Read MoreMount Pierce and Mount Eisenhower are usually hiked together due to their close proximity to one another. These are such picturesque mountains in the winter, especially since the hike is not too difficult. From the open summits of both peaks, you’ll get to enjoy pristine 360 degree views of the Presidential peaks and other surrounding mountains!
