The Turtles at the top of Mt. Katherine in Wonalancet on July 26. Our trip down was via the Tilton Spring Trail, rather than just retracing out steps back down. A beautiful day!

July 22, 2022, Mt. Eastman
Cathy led 5 of us ladies up Mt. Eastman in Evans Notch, a 52 WAV hike. This is such a beautiful hike, and on a hot day the shade and gentle grade of the Slippery Brook Trail was very appreciated. The views from Eastman are no comparison to the neighboring Baldface's, but the side excursion to Emerald Pool more than compensates you for your efforts. A lovely hike and day.

Leanne offered to lead a hike up Mt. Parker for the B group, but with unsettled weather, and schedule changes the hike was a solo hike for Leanne. Look like you had a beautiful day!!!

Mt Pierce, July 11, 2022
Tracy and Dick took a quick walk up the Crawford Path to Mt Pierce, on a nice, sunny day. Then it was down to the Mizpah Hut for lunch outside, and back down to the car. Below is Tracy, just after coming out of the short trees approaching the viewless actual summit. Behind Tracy are Mts Eisenhower, Monroe, and Washington.

Awe-inspiring Imp Face, July 7th 2022
The B Group had the perfect day for a hike up to Imp Face. Located just across the valley from the Presidentials, these sheer cliffs offer breathtaking views of our highest peaks. What a day!

The Friday Walkers hiked to Bald Ledge, on the Sky Pond Trail, on July 8. An amazing view for very little effort! We took a moment to raise a Cheeto to Sue Speers, remembering the last time that she was on that walk with us a few years ago.

Liberty & Flume - July 7, 2022
Four of us OTHH hiked in to Mt Liberty, over to Mt Flume, then back up Liberty and out. The weather was great, and the views from atop the Franconia ridge wonderful, as always. Below are Wharton, Dick, Marie, and Doug B., atop Mt Flume. That's Mt Liberty in back and to the left, while Lincoln and Lafayette are above Doug's head. It's always nice to see this side of the Franconia Ridge, a view hidden from the tourists way down below.

Four Turtles ventured out to the Hamlin Eames Smyth Conservation area, west of Meredith, on July 7. The hikers enjoyed a leisurely conversational pace ascent to beautiful views of Lake Wicwas from Crockett's Ledge and beaver dam views while descending into the four ponds area. They also witnessed what appeared to resemble a "big foot", though not the real "Big Foot"!! The bugs were plentiful and accompanied us on our route!

B group hikes Mt. Blueberry, June 30th, 2022
What a lovely, and "easy" trail this is. I realize that's a very subjective term, but this is certainly one that is enjoyable, and the ledges past the summit offer gorgeous views.
The blueberries were present, but not ripe yet. Maybe another week or two depending on the weather. OMG, though, they are plentiful. You could get plenty to make a pie if you're patient enough. It was a gem of a hike, and a perfect weather day. As some would say, it was a 50 cent day.
