Making a Comeback

I wish I could emphasize how monumental this moment was for me. After my accident, I was still holding on to the hope that I would someday be hiking 4,000 footers again even with the chronic pain. Then after a couple bad back sprains and a warning from the doctor, I had lost that hope completely. I had already given up running and now this.

NH Hikes: Mount Willard

After taking the Cog Railway up Mount Washington, the next day of our anniversary vacation we decided to visit Crawford Notch and hike Mount Willard. It is a popular 3.2 mile out and back trail that would be moderate for beginners/easy for experienced hikers. The trailhead is located across the train tracks of the railroad depot at AMC Crawford Notch Visitors Center.

NH Hikes: Boulder Loop Trail

My go-to destination for hiking has always been the White Mountains in New Hampshire. There are so many trails for all levels and many opportunities for mountain range views. It’s absolutely beautiful! And I’ve been dying to get back there.

Maine Sunrise: Portland Headlight

Maine is one of the best places to watch the sun rise in the morning. …one of my favorite locations: Portland Headlight. It’s the most photographed lighthouse in America.

We got to see the loons last night while kayaking around the lake. We suspected they might have a nest close by so we kept our distance. One of them followed us for a little while, long enough to get a few shots. #visitmaine #newengland #commonloon #
