I would still consider this the best bang for the buck in The White Mountains. There will be some moderate difficulty no matter where you hike in The Whites, especially with any elevation, but this is certainly the best view you can get for a short moderate/easy hike that I have ever experienced.

Its worth it!

Thank you

Hahaha, this was last night but that still applies.

Sure, this isnt actually a hike, its at the end of a road that leads to popular hikes. You can check out this area simply by driving up the road.

Its worth it. The canyon surprised me.

These are my favorite areas in the Whites, these beauty cubbies. The old little white house with the dirt road and a hiking trail hub basically. The whole scene screams New Hampshire.

Absolutely! Not sure if everyone has hiked to Paugus but if you do, Kelley Trail. Its less traveled and theres a box canyon.

Yes sir. Also to hike Mt. Paugus.

When I say liveliness I mean nature. Bigger, louder streams, more birds chirping, more leaves blowing around.

People, nope. Not for me.

Wish I could agree haha. I enjoy all seasons but I much prefer a lively forest with green vegetation and the ability to hike in much less/lighter clothing and a lighter pack.

Haha I’m an avid hiker in the Whites, theres not a season that I dont hike in. Winter has its benefits and the peaks can be beautiful but after a couple of winter hikes I start to desperately miss the warm months where the forest is alive, the vegetation is green, and I dont need to pack heavier and wear double-triple the layers.

Beauty in every season though!

Thank you my friend and have a great weekend

Yes, beautiful times. Im an avid hiker/photographer in the White Mountains, used to enjoy winter hiking more but not as much anymore, the scenery can certainly be beautiful but after a couple hikes I start to desperately miss the lively forests and green vegetation. Needing to pack and dress heavier becomes more of a project for me. I love being able to quickly get to hiking and be nimble on the trails, especially in the rugged and relentless terrain of The White Mountains. Either way, its all beautiful!

Haha this is so true and I’ve had this conversation before.

Yes they do.
