By following hiker blogs and hiking forums TrailsNH helps hikers access the most current trip planning information anywhere. It truly is a one stop shop to aggregate information on hiking across new england. Plus the story of a fatality and the ensuing rescue on Mount Washington in 1983 during an unusual weather period where the mountain became completely covered in ice.
