Great hikes included here. Some of these hikes have access roads blocked seasonally check white mountain national forest website for road closures in winter.

Stunning Ridgeline. Please use caution with this trail and download AllTrails or a map as a reference. Falling waters trail has wonderful waterfalls but I would not descend that trail and would use old bridle on descent.

Iconic mountain in the Pemi Wildnerness. Lincoln woods is a good starting point or if you are up to a 19 mile trek a zealand bond traverse is amazing! Zealand through the bonds is the most magical traverse. Use caution, AllTrails or a map, and hydrate! You won’t regret this one of you are able. Will need a car spot (park zealand start and finish Lincoln woods!)
