Mt. Shannon via Camp Bell

Ah, Mt. Shannon.  As you can tell, we can't get enough of this hike. 😄  But we did do something totally different this time...

Creek Farm/Little Harbor Loop

It was 90's inland.  Definitely a good day for hiking by ocean!  What ever happened to spring??

The Shannon Shimmy

The question is not whether to dance... the question is where to do it.

Mt. Rowe trails scavenger hunt

Go figure... We had all of our redlining around Rowe finished, and then they go and add two new required trails!  Trails, by the way, which are also not on the current official Belknap hiking map.  So they take a bit more research and explorative spirit.

Pine Mt. Wanderings

Some days you just need a hike...

Mt. Shannon Easter hike

Didn’t I just say something in my last blog entry about “anything can happen” in New England this time of year?  Well, it certainly did catch us by surprise today!

Avery Hill & Mt. Anna

Part of me was tempted to label this as "overambitious."  It was very close!

Head's Pond Trail and "Sheep Dog Rock"

Gotta pat the sheep head!

Time for some rock hunting!  And to prove how out of shape I am.

Sunset on Pine Mt.

Don’t tell Hawk… but I hiked in cotton.  *gasp!*  That’s right, I climbed a mountain in jeans.  And I lived. 🤣

Bradbury Mt. State Park

Let’s be honest, coastal southern Maine does not have the variety of mountainous hikes to choose from that central NH does.  There are plenty of excellent trails, and a few scattered small mountains, but the southern coast simply has less elevation overall than further inland.  So we knew we weren’t doing anything too intense within a reasonable driving distance from the Portland area.  But of course you know I’m perfectly fine with that.
