Turtles hike Lincoln Woods Trail, June 26th, 2018

Turtles on their long hike of The Lincoln Woods Trail to Franconia Falls. A pretty easy hike, after crossing a suspension bridge, along an old logging railroad line. The strong currents coming down the mountain cascaded around giant granite boulders and through narrow crevasses before plunging into a pool and moving on to the next. We enjoyed watching many butterflies stopping to sun themselves...

A group hike the "Twins" on June 19th, 2018

Tuesday's hike to the Twins was cut short at the river crossing, deemed too risky for all three of us to get across safely, due to high water from the previous day/night heavy rain.

Another beautiful”Turtle “hike up Mt Belknap... the sun was shining , the air was dry and the breeze kept the mosquitoes away... what more could you want.. except Blueberries but we were too early for them.  

June 14th, B group hike East Pond loop

Today a larger group of hikers, with a mix of abilities set out to enjoy the beauty off Tripoli Road.  The adventure starts with getting to the trail head, as Tripoli Rd is not the easiest to travel.  Once we set off on our journey, we were greeted with beautiful lady slippers, numerous water crossing, and countless piles of moose droppings.  The pond is beautiful, and we were grateful the bugs were not as thick as we would have expected.  It was a lovely hike, very family friendly.  I would call this on the "easy" side, not moderate, unless of course you are on cross country skis in the winter.  But for hiking purposes, I'd call it an "easy hike".  A very nice one in fact.
