CONCORD — Fall foliage in New Hampshire's mountains is approaching its peak, and with the changing season comes new challenges for White Mountain hikers. With the cooler days, shorter daylight hours, and even snow at this time of year, outdoors experts are advising the Granite State's autumn visitors to "Hike Safe."
"New Hampshire's woods and mountains are a great place for recreation any time of year, but each season brings with it special challenges and hazards," said New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation Officer Lieutenant Todd Bogardus. "The nature of the mountain environment is that it can be a dangerous place. Hikers who are looking forward to an autumn mountain adventure have to realize that winter-like conditions can come early to the mountains, so they must be prepared for conditions that are very different from those they may have enjoyed in the summertime."
