From my B-18 Bomber Crash, Mt. Waternomee write-up (2009) - "On January 14, 1942, five weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, a Douglas B-18 Bolo Bomber returning to Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee, Massachusetts, near Springfield, from a patrol over the North Atlantic Ocean for German submarines crashed into the side of Mt. Waternomee (3940 feet) in the New Hampshire White Mountains." Click on the photograph to read more.

For anyone who plans on visiting Artists Bluff or Bald Mountain in Franconia Notch; New Hampshire State Parks has made some changes to try and control the crowds this year. The most important one is a, "one-way hiker traffic pattern on the Artists Bluff Trail" .

Great idea, but this could potentially create more issues; a 1/4 mile long hike to Artist Buff will now be over 1 mile long. Based on what happened last year, I’m curious to see if this works.

It’s October in Franconia Notch State Park, and you know what that means: crunchy leaves, scenic hikes, and beautiful fall colors! It also marks peak foliage season, one of the busiest times in our neck of the woods. In an effort to ensure everyone enjoys their visit, New Hampshire State Parks is implementing new strategies for the popular Artists Bluff Trail, which you can learn more about here: https://www.cannonmt.com/articles/new-hampshire-state-parks-announces-foliage-traffic-initiatives-in-franconia-notch

We have also teamed up with the good folks at Wildly Responsible NH to remind visitors to follow these guidelines in order to protect and preserve our natural environment:
🍁 Travel on Durable Surfaces: Stay on marked trails.
🗑 Leave No Trace: Pack out what you pack in and leave nature in nature.
🐻 Respect Wildlife: Observe animals from a distance—for your safety and theirs.
🤝 Be Kind, Be Courteous: Treat others with kindness.
🍂 Be a Steward: Look for ways to care for nature and help others.
➡️ Go with the Flow: This is a one-way hiking trail.
📝Have a Backup Plan: If your destination is too crowded, have a Plan B!

See you out here!

From my July History, White Mountains write-up (2021), " July in the New Hampshire White Mountains is a great time of year. Hikers are exploring the trails, fishermen are fishing the rivers, and campers are enjoying the campgrounds. Throughout the history of the White Mountains, outdoor recreation has been a favorite pastime for many families during this month. And some interesting historical events took place during July."

One of the last logging railroads (Sawyer River Railroad) to operate in the White Mountains was incorporated in July 1875. Click on the photograph to read about some of these events.
