Bring a gun, make any parcel of private land your own hiking trail.

as far as mud is concerned...it's spring, and it's new england...you do the math. want less mudd? go early in the am when things aren't thawed out and flowing yet.

for great 'mellow-ish' places to check out:

monadnock: see lots of people on the way up :( but at least you get a bald summit with lots of exposure and decent elevation. they say this peak was the largest in the north east (far bigger that washington) until the last glacial period. receding glaciers tore off the peak at the amphitheater or 'false summit.' trails are not all the difficult i recommend parking at toll road and heading up.

big pine park: somewhere near the sandwich range. i wont tell you where exactly. park off the highway. right away you are greeted by enormous 500-600 year old, 'old growth' pines. it is AMAZING. through the canopy there is a very easy but moderate climb to the top or a small peak with a fire tower up top with amazing views of the sandwich range, the dome etc.
not many people know about this place!

mt. greylock: its kinda cool. its kinda gay. anytime i drove out here i always thought, man if i drove this far north i could be in much cooler shit.

for more moderate shit:

Chocurua is pretty cool and not all that demanding. It's amongst some cool shit too.

The whites are cool, but the best stuff is over in newry/bethel/sugarloaf/wrangely area imho.

mount chocorua;s nice. and the wapack is in peterborough on the way to monadnock, but you go past the EMS and down a bunch of country roads.

I find it shocking that Cav doesn't want to play in the mud

Mt. waternomee has a trail that leads to the site of a b18 bomber crash site. There are still parts of the plane scattered around the place.

I agree with Nick...al the snow just finished melting so it's gonna be muddy this time of year.

As for good places I can't even begin to list because I'm pretty outdoorsy and have been to so many awesome places that it's hard to decide.

I've not been to VT in many years. I was planning a trip up Vt. Probably not going to happen now. But maybe another time. NH will probably happen this year though.
Good times.

hoser no longer speaks for NH. Please come and spend all your money in a part of the state that I don't drive through much.
