You’ll explore the peaks bordering Franconia, Crawford, and Pinkham Notch; discover the many scenic trails along the Kancamagus Highway; visit several of AMC’s high mountain huts; and tour the picturesque Sandwich Range.  From a family-friendly hike near Squam Lake, to a walk through the unique ecology of the Alpine Garden, to more challenging hikes to Ethan Pond and Evans Notch, this guide offers a variety of trails suited for beginner and intermediate hikers. An at-a-glance chart highlights the best hikes with kids, recommended hikes with dogs, and trails best suited for winter snowshoeing and skiing.  Locator maps are provided for all hikes.
