Hiking Season

Hiking season has begun; kinda.  While people are encouraged to stay off the muddy trails as to not ruin them, there are still many low-lying hikes that are accessible.  Since I purchased my new hiking boots this season (I have been saving for them since Christmas) and vacation was this past week, it was time to get started. 

 

First up: a super short .3 mile hike with amazing views of Crawford Notch, New Hampshire.  It still had some snow on it, but all the little walking bridges, rocks to climb on and spectacular views make for an awesome hike with a six year old.  Little Man loved it and was ready to hike up Mt. Washington when we were done.  No joke he actually pointed it out on the way back to my Mom's.  It made for an awesome spring hike. 

 Hike number two actually ended up being on the paved handicap trail/bike path in Franconia Notch because the other trail was a little icy still.  Once again the Basin at the end made for a great hike and Little Man even got Papa to join us for the trip.  Although all the way there he kept telling us there was still going to be snow on the trail (he was right!) Thank goodness for the paved trail.
