DAY HIKES
We suggest a hike either in the Nash Stream Forest, the dramatic Dixville Notch area, Connecticut Lakes country, or the Boundary Mountains. The White Mountains experience a crush of hiking traffic each summer, so give the Whites a break and come further north. There is so much country to explore above the White Mountains, and you will have very few people to contend with. Your hiking experience will be more of a wilderness experience. What could be better?
EASY
Usually short in distance and level or moderate inclines. All ages can manage these day hikes.
MODERATE
Several miles generally, with level or moderate terrain. Suitable for all but the youngest children. Carrying
water is advised. LENGTHY
Trail is not terribly difficult but is many miles long, usually at least seven or eight miles in length.
Not recommened for the elderly or young children. Carrying water is essential. TOUGH
Marked by moderately steep to steep terrain. Managed by most people in reasonable condition but difficult
for those who are out of shape. Water and food are a must. STRENUOUS
Steep terrain usually over moderate to long distances. These routes are best for folks who are fit and who
are well supplied with water and food.
