Hike the Summer Away

The Top 10 Hikes In New England

So this is for all of you who love hiking or want to get started. I have here a self- designed list of the top 10 hikes that New England offers and none of them are biased, I just have done some personal and online research to reach these conclusions.

Hopefully, all of you can enjoy at least a few of these mountains this summer:

1.) Camel's Hump

First on the list is Camel's Hump!

Camel's Hump is located in Duxbury and Huntington Vermont and reaches 4,081 feet in height. Camel's Hump is known to be a relatively hard mountain to climb. However, it is a very popular climb in Vermont, mostly due to it's location near the resort town of Stowe, Vermont. Also, the unique shape of the peak that provides the name of the mountain, results in the popularity of Camel's Hump.

Another Vermont peak that makes the list is

2.) Dorset Mountain

This mountain is not as famous or as large as Camel's Hump, but it offers a set of stunning views on "Dorset Peak".

This mountain is located in Danby, Vermont with a total of 3,760 feet.

3.) Mt. Chocorua

Now in New Hampshire, the heart of the White Mountains and the Presidential range sits Mt. Chocorua

Mt. Chocorua sits at just about 3,748 feet but what it lacks in feet makes up for in views.

4.) Mt. Osceola

Mt. Osceola is another mountain in New Hampshire that reaches about 4,314 feet and is located in the White Mountain National Forest.

Mt. Osceola may not be the most popular mountain in New Hampshire, but it does not disappoint.

5.) Mount Katahdin

Now in Maine, Mount Katahdin is the highest peak in the state standing at 5,267 feet in the Appalachian Mountain Range.

Mount Katahdin is the vocal point for Baxter State Park.

6.) Saddleback Mountain

Saddleback Mountain is another mountain in Maine located in Franklin County, near the town of Rangeley.

Fun Fact: Saddleback Mountain is also a ski area!

7.) Ragged Mountain

Now in New England the bigger mountains are in the Northern states, but Connecticut can still offer some mountain thrills, especially for rock climbers on Ragged Mountain's traprock mountain ridge that stands at 762 feet and is a popular place for rock climbers.

Ragged Mountain is also a ski resort!

We are going to skip one state in New England and that is Rhode Island because they have hills rather then mountains.

8.) Mount Greylock

However in Massachussetts there is Mount Greylock. Mount Greylock is 3,491 feet and is the highest natural point in the state.

Mount Greylock is located in the beautiful Berkshire region.

9.) Blue Hills

This selection is rather a nature walk then a mountain, but it does incline and reach a view that overlooks Boston.

This would be a great start for beginner hikers!

10.) Mt. Washington

This is the mother of all mountains in New England and deserves to be on every top 10 hikes of New England list. This monster stands at 6,289 feet and is the highest peak in the Northeastern part of the United States. Located in Sargent's Purchase, New Hampshire.

On top their is an observatory!

Thank you for indulging in my favorite hikes and I hope that all of you will love these trails this summer and years to come.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
