Is a longer hike better? Maybe if you are gauging your fitness. But getting the most enjoyment out of a hike depends on many things, and often a moderate or easy hike really pans out in the enjoyment department.

Last week, a good friend and I met in Moultonborough for lunch and a short snowshoe afterward. She had to be back home to teach in the mid-afternoon, so we had about an hour and a half at most for the hike.
