If heat, the smell of sunscreen, and crowds of obnoxious people all mixed together aren't your thing, then winter just might be your beach season! (Yes, we are aware that Dec 14th is still technically fall)

Join us for a leisurely walk up and down Hampton Beach. Enjoy the weak sun, hear the crash of waves, and maybe get sniffed by a few doggos. Hopefully no one will get pooped on by a seagull, but no promises, that's why we have release forms!

Plan on about 2.5 miles of walking on packed sand (if we're lucky) and a total elevation gain of 26 feet. You may get sand in your shoes, sorry! Super special bonus points to anyone who dares stick their toes in the water (hey, it'll probably be warmer than the air!)

Join us for a hike up to the summit of Bull Hill (aka Mt Taurus), located right on the Hudson River in Cold Spring.

This is a 5.3 mile loop with 1400' elevation gain. The ascent to the top is steep, but we will have plenty of opportunities to stop on the way up, including an old quarry, and multiple views of Cold Spring, Breakneck Ridge, the Hudson river, and Storm King Mountain and West Point across the river. If we are lucky, when we reach the summit, we will be able to see New York City in the distance.

The descent down the other side of the mountain is much more gradual. Near the bottom, the trail passes through the old Cornish Estate, originally built in the early 1900s and destroyed by a fire in 1956. The estate included a large mansion, greenhouse, stables, garage and more. There is so much to explore and a nice reward at the end of the hike after climbing all the way to the top of the mountain.

Mounts Morgan and Percival are distinguished mountains in the Sandwich range for being on both the NH 52 With a view, AND Terrifying 25 lists. While the challenge of this hike will be its technical nature, there are bypass trails that can be taken to get around the most technical parts. Challenge rating for this hike is moderate with 5.5 miles of trail and 1,522 ft of vertical gain.

We will be taking a SLOW pace, stopping frequently, and there are 2 summit areas with phenomenal views where extended breaks will be taken. The first 1.5 miles of the hike is a fairly standard NH climb. The final 0.25 miles up Morgan's summit features 3 ladders (about 25 feet total) bolted to, and climbing up a rock face. After the second ladder, a horizontal transfer to the 3rd ladder will be necessary before reaching the top of the ledge, and scrambling on all fours through a 12 foot boulder cave leading to a final scramble to the summit.

For those who get to the ladders and decide it's too much, there is an alternate trail that goes around to the summit while avoiding them. After catching our breath on Morgan, we'll make our way along a mostly flat 1 mile of trail to get to the Percival summit for another break and pictures. From here, there will be 2 choices of descent from the summit area, either down a massive glacial rockslide, through more boulder caves where we'll be working as a team to get ourselves and our packs through the caves, or down a much less technical cliff walk for those feeling less limber. The chambers inside the caves are roomy, but we will need to take off packs and pass them through a couple of smaller openings.

After the cliff/cave walks, the rest of the hike is fairly standard without any further technical challenges. While this is not a super challenging hike, those with an extreme fear of heights, or tight spaces MAY find parts of the hike to be particularly unsettling. If you are unsure, know that there are alternative routes one can use to skip the most technical parts. This hike will be cancelled if wet or icy conditions are present, which would make the climb or descent dangerous.
