We had planned to offer a series of hikes and walks this this year, but COVID-19 intervened. We all hope that 2021 will be a better year! That said, hiking and walking remain excellent forms of outdoor exercise and allow us all to explore the natural world in our region. As always, do stay safe […]

We will be offering a varied selection of three-season hikes and walks this year, mainly on weekends. Some will be in Eastman, others in the Upper Valley area, and a few farther afield. We need more leaders! If you can help out in this fun and rewarding role, please contact me, Peter Hope, at 603-863- […]

I am hoping to have a more active schedule of three season walks and hikes in 2017. Leaders are needed to help Eastmanites enjoy the New England outdoors. Easy walks in Eastman or the Upper Valley are usually scheduled on weekday mornings, and more strenuous hikes to nearby peaks and destinations farther afield on weekends […]

After last year’s dearth of snow, let’s hope for a better winter.

We have had some excellent Eastman hikes and walks this year. We need more leaders. If interested, please contact me at 863-6456 or phope@worldpath.net. I would like to expand both of our yearround programs. Remember that autumn can be cold, and prepare accordingly. Let family or friends know your exact plans before you start on a trip. Consider the purchase of a NH Hike Safe Card available at […]

By Peter Hope For the remainder of 2016, I hope to offer many hikes on weekends and walks on weekday mornings that will vary from easy walks in Eastman or the Upper Valley to more strenuous climbs of local mountains and some higher Vermont and New Hampshire peaks. We ask a small transportation fee for […]

We are all hoping for a good season for snow sports, especially for snowshoeing. I plan a weekly morning outing for easy hikes on Tuesdays or Wednesdays in Eastman or nearby, and I hope to lead some longer weekend trips as well. Check your Eastman Highlights weekly for details. I also need volunteer leaders as […]

As I do every year, I ask any would-be leaders to contact me at (603) 863-6456 or phope@worldpath.net. The more leaders, the more walks […]
