October 2, 2025 – White Mountains – New Hampshire

Today, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The White Mountains are a mountain range that cover a large part of New Hampshire, and also a portion of western Maine. The White Mountains include 48 peaks at over 4,000 feet. The White Mountains are popular for skiing, hiking, and ATVing.

We had a refreshing Adventure up to the White Mountains. After an extra early alarm – we headed off. It was the coolest day of the season, but perfect weather to be outdoors. The sun was shining, and some of the locations were close to peak foliage, just lovely! Due to Wilma’s knee and arthritis, we have had less adventures and have started more simple outings, that have become more exploring, and relaxing, with some short walks. I am lucky to have a fenced backyard that gives us other options for outside fun and am thankful that I can custom our adventures to work for all of our needs.

On this Adventure both Wilma and Gus enjoyed rolling, finding sticks, people watching, and walking through the Autum scenery. We spent most of our time at our favorite locations. Due to my day off from work we were able to appreciate less people (being a week- day), which was great. I loved searching for foliage and appreciated perfect sweatshirt weather. It is always fun to watch the pups enjoying the simple things in life – they really can teach us so many lessons! A lovely Adventure today in the White Mountains (this blog will not be rated).

June 25, 2025 – White Mountains

This week, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The White Mountains are a mountain range that cover a large part of New Hampshire, and also a portion of western Maine. The White Mountains include 48 peaks at over 4,000 feet. The White Mountains are popular for skiing, hiking, and ATVing.

We had a gorgeous Adventure to the White Mountains. Due to Wilma’s knee, I planned simple, scenic stops, and we did not hike, but instead strolled through gorgeous scenery. Our favorites of the day included: Bretton Woods, and Hart’s Location. I could not believe the spectacular lupines and wildflower fields. I was beyond thrilled as I thought the season for lupines was over but was thankful, I was wrong. Some of these locations we frequent when in the area, but I have never seen such a lupine field! Wilma and Gus enjoyed strolling, posing, and even waded in the water, which for them is not a common site. On a different note, I think this was the first time I have found biting bugs in this area, I am guessing black flies but there also appeared to be biting gnats – yuck! I read later that this is a spring thing, so might have to avoid this time of year in the future. However, although sadly the pups had bites, I never saw them itch them or even seem bothered, so I was quite grateful for that. On a crazy note, I am still recovering! But back to the beauty you cannot compare to the White Mountains! So glad we could find a Wilma friendly day! (Rating: 5 if you do not include the biting bugs!)

October 12, 2024 – White Mountains – New Hampshire

We had a foliage-filled adventure to the White Mountains. I was excited for a Fall daytrip on a gorgeous New England day. Our locations included: Littleton, Lancaster, Hart’s Location, Bretton Woods, and of course some other stops for beautiful scenery. We headed out early, however, definitely not early enough on the Saturday before Columbus Day, the crowds were out! Unfortunately, it was so extremely windy that Gus was very nervous. This caused me to change my plans a bit to make everyone happy and comfortable. On the other hand, Wilma enjoyed as many rolls as she could fit in. I enjoyed the lovely scenery, and getting out for the day on an adventure. We even found a new covered bridge, accidentally – the Mechanic Street Covered Bridge. So glad to have an adventure in the White Mountains – even if it did not go as expected (this blog will not be rated).

June 25, 2024 – White Mountains – New Hampshire

Yesterday, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The White Mountains are a mountain range that cover a large part of New Hampshire, and also a portion of western Maine. The White Mountains include 48 peaks at over 4,000 feet. The White Mountains are popular for skiing, hiking, and ATVing.

We had a green and mountain filled Adventure to the White Mountains, our first daytrip of summer vacation. You will see I blogged about two of our adventures of the day separately (Scoops on the Main, and the Bump Covered Bridge) but could not resist putting together a collage of our entire day. If you follow my blog you are aware that I love visiting the White Mountains, one of the most beautiful places in New England. Our day today included: Campton, Bartlett, Hart’s Location, Lancaster, Littleton, and Bethlehem. Both Wilma and Gus appreciated some rolls, naps in the shade, and tasty ice cream! They even waded in the water, an unusual activity for them both! I loved the gorgeous scenery, colorful wildflowers, and hanging with my two best buds. It was a little warmer than I expected, so we did not do anything too intense, as I wanted to make sure the pups were comfortable and cool. So glad our first summer adventure is in the books!

October 27, 2023 – Kinsman Falls – New Hampshire

Today, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to Kinsman Falls in the Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire. Kinsman Falls is found about .5 miles onto the Basin-Cascades Trail. Kinsman Falls is a narrow Falls about 20 feet in height, which into a deep pool below.

We had a gorgeous Adventure to Kinsman Falls. I thought I had blogged about it before but must have included it a larger category post so decided to blog about it individually today. Kinsman Falls is probably one of my favorite Falls, although small it’s unique and is in a gorgeous location. We walked through the muddy trails, exploring the rocky cascades and other waterfalls as we walked uphill on the trails to the Falls. Upon arrival it was a steep trail down, but we made it! It was actually harder to make our way closer to the waterfall as the rocks were a little hard to navigate, especially with two leashed dogs. However, we managed safely and enjoyed the closest view we could get. We did not stay too long as it was hard to find a comfortable spot for all of us to rest, however enjoyed the sounds of the crashing falls.

Heading back across the rocks Wilma got stuck on a rock, unsure of where to go. I continued to encourage her to the appropriate nearby rock and eventually with some treat encouragement she made it, and we did not have an overnight adventure to Kinsman Falls (haha). Below you will see just the area of the actual Falls, (not including the trail getting there). So glad Gus could visit Kinsman Falls and Wilma and I could return to this fabulous Falls (Rating: 4).

August 9-11, 2023 – White Mountain getaway in the tiny house!

This week Wilma, Gus, my Mom and I adventured to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The White Mountains are a mountain range that cover a large part of New Hampshire, and also a portion of western Maine. The White Mountains include 48 peaks at over 4,000 feet. The White Mountains are popular for skiing, hiking, and ATVing. Specifically, we stayed in Bethlehem and the areas we visited besides Bethlehem included: Bretton Woods, Hart’s Location, and Littleton.

We had a gorgeous vacation in the White Mountains, one of my favorite places in New England. We stayed in an adorable tiny house, quite a fun and unique experience. We spent a good amount of our time on Forest Lake, in Bethlehem, relaxing and enjoying the lake life! The pups made themselves right at home and were super-chill! They lounged on the deck, chairs, and even were comfortable wandering on and off the wobbling dock. They especially loved extra cuddle time with their grandma! One highlight was that Gus learned to stand-up-paddle board! He had great balance and seemed to love the experience which was a fun little adventure in the midst of our trip. Forest Lake was more then we could have asked for – peaceful, serene, loons singing, and framed by mountains and evergreens.

In addition to our time at the tiny house, we explored other locations including Littleton, Bretton Woods, Hart’s Location and some gorgeous roadside scenery! My Mom, like me, loves photography, so we were quite pleased, loving the endless wildflowers, water, mountains, and every inch of the scenery. The clouds and sky were brilliant, and although there were some sprinkles here and there it was just right. Both Wilma and Gus loved some rolls, walking around and exploring, and being in the great outdoors. It was just what we all needed – one spectacular vacation. We look forward to our next Adventure to the White Mountains (this blog will not be rated but I can assure you our vacation was a 5!).

The White Mountains are a mountain range that cover a large part of New Hampshire, and also a portion of western Maine. The White Mountains include 48 peaks at over 4,000 feet.

We decided to visit some of my favorite spots, and I enjoyed some reminiscing of my weekend Inn job in Bethlehem. Overall the sun was shining and the clouds gorgeous, although we did have a spell of darkness sprinkles along the way. We walked and explored and stopped at several lovely roadside spots throughout the day. Although nothing compares to Fall in the White Mountains, the scenery was still lovely. So glad we could visit the White Mountains today (this blog will not be rated)

October 11, 2021 – White Mountains – New Hampshire

We had a foliage-filled Adventure to the White Mountains. I was thrilled to drive up to the White Mountains to see the Fall foliage as the colors in Massachusetts have barely started to show. Our Adventures today included: Boise Rock, Echo Lake, the town of Littleton, Wiley Pond, the Saco Trail, and the covered bridges of Jackson, New Hampshire. I was also planning on visiting Jackson Falls but after driving back and forth numerous times we were unable to locate parking. Additionally I stopped several times along the route to take some photographs. The scenery was gorgeous, the sun shining, and the weather perfect. The pups loved exploring, and sharing sticks. Gus had some surprising moments where he seemed interested in the water, which was quite fun. It was a long, wonderful, and tiring day, but I would not have had it any other way. Endless photographs you will see below summarizing this special day (Rating: 5).

Throwback Adventure – The Rocks – New Hampshire

I have decided to return to posting new “Throwback Adventures” after taking time to re-post some of my favorites with Shadow. This has been a therapeutic process for me to share. We are devastated that both Shadow and Buster have both passed, but find peace knowing we can continue to remember them through our “Throwback Adventures”. They were amazing boys and are forever in our hearts.

In October 2017 Shadow, Wilma, My Mom, and I Adventured to The Rocks in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. This was the first time we discovered The Rocks, but also had numerous Adventures to The Rocks in the summer of 2018. The Rocks is a 1400 property that contains a Christmas Tree farm with views of the Presidential Range. The Rocks is also an educational and conservation center and has trails throughout.

We had a lovely Adventure to The Rocks. The Rocks is such a unique spot as you find a Christmas tree farm with gorgeous mountain views. We explored and snapped our usual endless photographs. Viewing these photos made me smile remembering Wilma’s constant desire to play with Shadow who often engaged with her, while on some occasions dashed away from her energy. She was obsessed with her big brother and it was always adorable to see! Our visits in the summer occurred when we were up in the area working at the Inn in the Mountains. You may have seen some of the summer photos in my past post on Bethlehem. The Rocks is definitely one of a kind. We look forward to returning in the future (Rating: 4).
