Hall's Ledge Trail and Hutmen's Trail Loop Hike


Today's hike would take me up the Hall's Ledge Trail to a couple of views both north and south. I would then follow the trail down the other side almost to the Carter Notch Road. Before getting to the road I would cross over to the Hutmen's Trail that is also the Dana Place ski trail and at a certain point bushwhack back over to the Hall's Ledge Trail and back down to Route 16. There was a beautiful day in the weather forecast with warm temps and sunshine.

Loop Hike in the Great Gulf


There was a nice day of weather in the forecast so I decided to take a local hike. This hike would take me into the Great Gulf via the Great Gulf Trail. I would then take a loop up the Osgood Trail across the Osgood Cutoff and back down the Great Gulf Trail and back out for a six mile hike.

Local Hike to Mount Crescent


Keeping it local I drove over to Randolph for a hike to the summit of Mount Crescent. This would be my first time hiking to this summit. It's a short hike with some spectacular views. My first choice for a hike today was Percy Peaks but the gate was closed.

Exploring Pondicherry


I stayed local and very low today. I had never been to Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge so I decided to walk in and check out this area. It was a five mile hike on a beautiful day.
