Mount Israel


Beautiful Fall weather was in the forecast and I thought it would be a good day for another 52 With a View summit. Today would be a long drive for a short hike to Mount Israel. The drive was two hours and the hike was four miles round trip.

Hiking Magalloway Mountain


After hiking Table Rock in Dixville Notch we continued to drive north to Magalloway Mountain for our second hike of the day. This mountain is on the 52 With a View list. On our way we stopped briefly in Colebrook to pick up some sandwiches for lunch.

Table Rock via the 'Easy' Way


My son Ryan and his wife Jen were visiting. Ryan asked me if I would like to go hiking...well, Yes! I had planned on hiking Magalloway Mountain this week. They agreed to hike there and we would add a bonus hike of Table Rock since we would be driving by on our way north. Son Brandon would also be joining us.
