  • I saw another one (in a tree) last week and its got more quills on the underside than the top of its tail so I wonder if they keep it a little away so they don’t get themselves. I’ll have those photos posted in a few days. Had no idea porcupines were a thing in the NE, the other one was in Connecticut.

  • Haha, yeah I got a good view of its face first when I walked up, but by the time I could get photos taken it turned into a different kind of photo shoot.

  • If you go the champney brook route to get there, there is also a waterfall on a spur trail on the lower end that is apparently nice. Person I was hiking with said it was dry right then so we just skipped it.

  • Yeah, I’ve just started noticing a couple random trees turning here and there. I’ll bet when that all gets going it’s pretty spectacular.

  • Yeah, I really enjoyed my time there. What is it, 48 4kers I think? Hiked Mt Chocorua with a friend of a friend and I think that's what he told me. Although I guess that is all of NH, probably a good chunk just in the Whites. Out of my time here in the Northeast, I think that area has been my favorite so far.

  • Thanks! Yeah, this is east coast too so i feel like I get beat up so much more by the trails out here. That’s a lot of down when its all rock stairs and boulders. Love that North Cascades area, well done yourself!

  • Right on, thanks for the advice!

  • Nice! Yeah that was my first time in new hampshire, and loved all three hikes i did in the White mountains.would love to do more in that area.

  • Cross-posted from pics, which I think I may start just posting to, as it has a higher subscriber/activity. If anyone has any thoughts on where they'd best like to see these daily posts, let me know. Hiking may be best, but I don't think it has many subscribers.

    Mt Washington and Monroe via Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail, Twin Mountain, NH

  • Title is phrased a little odd since I'm always just listing the name of the trail. Mt Washington is not seen in the title photo (technically that rock outcrop is Mt Washington though), but Mt Monroe and down the line on the presidential range is. I've been posting daily on photography, but may switch over to here for the daily trail photos. Mostly just because the subscriber count is higher, but if anyone has a particular place they'd like to see me post instead, let me know. Hiking is always an option, since that's what all these are based around, but the subscriber count is so low.

  • Yes to the handhold (i’ve got a canon r8 that does a good job of stabilizing as long as I don’t go too long on the exposure), but I’ll also break out the tripod if Imm doing more than a couple quick shots and moving on. No for the ND filters on this shot. I carry nd filters with me, but this was shaded enough that I didn’t break anything out. I’ve got variable one’s for each of my lenses that I’ll bring along that I like so you can adjust in the fly. Sometimes you’ll see the rotating filters on the extreme ends though.

  • Ooh, thanks for the info!

    Mt Lafayette via Franconia Ridge Loop Trail, Lincoln, NH

  • Yeah, it was a really enjoyable hike! Good breeze at the top for me as well, but muggy before that haha.

  • Hell yeah! I managed to get two done while there, but that was all. Enjoyed the hell out of both. Did Lafayette a couple days later (tomorrow’s post I think), but I definitely could not see that far, more like a few hundred feet haha. And yeah I checked out the wreck on the way back down, pretty sweet.

    Camel's Hump via Monroe Trail Loop, Waterbury, VT

  • Haha, yep! And thanks!

  • It really does! I've seen tannin dyed water before, but that was to a whole new level.

  • Haha, yeah, the storms that rip through there are certainly something. On the final day I was told my first day rainstorm was 2 inches accumulated and I definitely believe it!

  • Thanks! Yeah that haze can both limit views and make them otherworldly at times.

  • If anyone else has done this hike, I'd love to hear their thoughts on it. Water levels were also very high when I went, making the many beaver ponds a massive frustration, as well as the exposed rock areas, but I still just don't get it.
