Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I'm back with another Wednesday Walk, though this one might be more of a hike?!

Franconia Wednesday Walk

One of the things that we did a lot this fall since the weather is a bit friendlier to hiking and no bugs is take some really great day trips out for a hike! We went to the Franconia area of New Hampshire's White Mountains a bunch of times but one thing we didn't do much of was hiking. We decided to rectify that recently!

There are some really great spots you can spend time hiking around. There are dozens of trails and nearly endless possibilities when it comes to how you can get yourself out there. We ended up going to two different spots on this adventure. We didn't take as many pictures as I thought we did sadly!

I think my main goal with these was to document the trail map it seems lol. There was ZERO cell reception where we were which was surprising and crazy! If you get stranded or hurt, you better have some stuff on you to make noise to alert other people to where you are. We ventured our way onto these trails without some of the perfect equipment but we still managed to have a decent, safe hike.

One of the things we saw all over the place at the beginnings of the trail were signs warning us of the brutal conditions that can change quickly when you are in the higher elevations. It was good to see but not something I really paid much attention to until you try to go hiking with a child. Then you better heed the advice it seems! lol don't want to endanger a kid's life that's for sure! We didn't go up into the mountains at all, we stayed on the relatively flat area since this was our first real hike with the little man.

One of the things I didn't think to take notice of was the possibility that people come here to do things besides hiking. There are also rock climbers! I didn't think of it, but when you see some of the sheer cliff faces, you can see how they would be attracted to climb it.

It would be crazy to climb up that sheer rock face, that's for sure! There was someone there doing some climbing though, I checked the bin and there was one person who filled out the info. Good luck to them that's for sure!

One thing I love a lot about the area is the crazy and huge rivers that are all around! These things supply millions of gallons of fresh water from the mountains down to the lower elevations. It's remarkable that these rivers are constantly flowing, that's all I can say! The day was beautiful but when you were close to the river here, the temperature was a bit colder because of the spray that was flung up into the air. You could feel it, this great dampness in the air. Interesting feeling!

We had gone up about 3 miles into the trail when we got to this sign here and decided that this was enough. It was a great hike and our son did remarkable. We will certainly be going on some additional hikes, that's for sure!
