My intention in writing this hiking column is to help people enjoy the mountains by sharing my experience about places to go. Also over the years, new maps and guidebooks have raised awareness of where to go, benefiting the hiking public, including me. I have passed some of these hikes along to my readers.
About five years ago, Kim Nilsen’s book “50 Hikes North of the White Mountains” increased awareness of some good hikes up north. Here is a story I wrote back then, when my friend Carl from New York came up during the summer of 2014 for his vacation from running a biochemistry lab at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He needed to get out in the wilds where the stress of work would naturally drain away.
