White Mountain Trails Tales of the Trails to the Summit of Mount Washington and other Summits of the White Hills

A vivid walk through New Hampshire’s White Mountains, this collection invites listeners to wander the historic trails that have long beckoned explorers and casual hikers alike. From the early ascent of Chocorua to the quiet beauty of the Lakes of the Clouds, each chapter paints a fresh picture of summit sunrise, mist‑cloaked ravines and the subtle rhythms of mountain life. The author’s keen eye captures both grand vistas and the small, often‑overlooked details—like the flutter of butterflies on Mount Washington or the hardy alpine flowers that cling to rocky ledges.

Written originally for a newspaper column, the prose blends personal anecdotes with practical observations, offering a warm sense of camaraderie with fellow wayfarers and the mountain‑folk who share their homes. Accompanied by period photographs, the narratives convey the changing light, weather, and wildlife that define each season on the peaks. Listeners will feel the crisp air, hear the distant rush of waterfalls, and sense the timeless allure that has drawn generations to these rugged heights.
