As New Englanders we are uncomfortable with emptiness. We are more comfortable with clutter. It gives us something to do. We are a rather fussy people after all, preoccupied with the size of things and how much can be fit inside them: closets, Tupperware containers, lifetimes. Anyway, I rather like Tom—his sensitive mind and dry wit, his commitment to good causes.
I live with his ghost, now. He is respectful, quiet, allowing himself to comment only rarely. Make the most of the day, he says. Last year was no exception. We saw that firsthand last fall on a sparkling mid-October Sunday. Visitors from as far away as New York, Connecticut, and Ohio made the climb to the 3,foot summit. They came for the color and views, of course, but for other reasons too. To honor a loved one. To celebrate a healthy body. To catch a sunrise with a few friends.
Some were making their inaugural ascent; others were continuing a tradition that had begun many years before. We talked with them along the route and at the summit, and here are some of the folks we met. I had never heard of this mountain.
We were driving around, looking at the sights, and I looked up and saw it. When I saw how big it was I thought it was a big deal. Something like 3, feet. My buddy told me there are a lot bigger mountains out there.
But this is a start. Put your boots on and start climbing. It was beautiful. When we started you could just barely see the ground, and it got better from there. SAM: Well, we were trying to stay warm. I made it. I feel great. How can I not? Look at this weather. Just perfect. This one kid on our team decided it would be funny if he hiked up shirtless. I think he may have regretted that. SAM: But then he put on a vest, fancy shirt, and a blazer.
It was hilarious. I can just let my mind wander. Mount Washington But we like to come back to this hike. That was something. This is my first time up, and I hate it! But my friend did say it was going to be like a walk, and she lied to us. I realized that about 15 minutes into it. I just love the views and being here with my son and friends. But ask me tomorrow how I really feel about it because I know my legs and bum will be sore. Winter is coming. A friend recommended Monadnock. We decided to make a day of it.
But I wish I were in better shape. He said it was going to be easy. But you know what? I have the day off tomorrow. I can recuperate. Do you want to do an eight-mile hike? So every time I saw like another steep run I was like, This is the worst thing that ever happened to me! When we got near.
Thanks, Brigid. We grew up around here. We hiked Monadnock as kids. You know where you are. I had. I used to come out here a lot with the kids. About 10 years ago me and a buddy were going through some pretty tough times, and this was a place we could come to where we could get away from everything and figure stuff out.
We need that. We did a couple of 4,footers this summer. Some of those were hard. So was this, but I loved the rock scaling near the top.
That was a lot of fun. But not as much fun as our snacks. But the best part is the candy corns my mom brought. I got to eat those on the way up. We did this hike many years ago and wanted to do this as a fatherson tribute to her life.
I used to hike this on school trips. We made good time, right? Rhode Island native Bud Thompson in an undated photo from his years as a country-music troubadour. There were then, in the mids, 14 Shaker sisters living at Canterbury in New Hampshire. The last brother had died in Those days were more than a century gone.
The Shakers Bud met were a quiet, pious, dedicated lot, their lives shaped by thousands of days of work and devotion into a work of art itself. The Canterbury sisters were living in the twilight of the Shaker utopia. Bud was 33 years old, a big strapping guy with a broad smile and lively blue eyes. He was a traveling troubadour knocking around the West, booked into schools by an agent back east. Before that, at age 16, he was a singing cowboy with his own radio show, 15 minutes a week on WMEX in Boston.
He may have been the only teenage singing cowboy from Rhode Island in the whole curious history of singing cowboys. At their peak in the midth century there had been 19 Shaker communities and perhaps as many as 6, Shakers. Bud was looking for new folk songs, and his booking agent told him the Shakers had written or adopted some 10, songs.
His Canterbury visit changed his life and the lives of the Shaker sisters. Walking around the village, he met Sister Lillian Phelps. Lillian came to Canterbury at age 16 sick with tuberculosis. The sisters nursed her back to health. Lillian played the organ every Sunday for the sisters and she gave music lessons.
She offered to play for Bud. We talked. She was full of fun. She was a serious and smart lady, but she also had that kind of light. She lifts up the piano seat and she pulls out some schmaltzy thing like The Bells of St.
So she played the accompaniment as I sang. We became instantaneous friends. Music led him to the Shakers and to his two wives. His first wife, Harriett, was an organist and choir director at a church, and his second, Nancy, was a soloist at another church.
He fell in love with her when he heard her sing. Bud left to sing in small-town schools on a route that took him through the Midwest and on to Oklahoma.
Bud had given them his schedule before he left. He saved the letters in a big photo album. This is the kind of devotion that happens in first love, with teens writing letters that cross towns, the country, the seas. But this was the romance of an aging, celibate Christian order and a young man who sang cowboy songs and folk ballads. They believed that God was male and female, that men and women, each working in their own sphere, were equal.
And they were short of labor. They could no longer run their farm. For that they had to rely on hired hands. She was the last child to be raised in the village.
Implied in her judgment were the others she had sent away—or maybe in a Christian way, hosted, fed, and sent away. But the sisters loved Bud from the first. Sprigg spent two summers at Canterbury during her college years and later became a Shaker museum curator and the author of many books about the Shakers. I think he could do no wrong in their eyes. He was just utterly devoted to them.
Bud even won the measured approval of Eldress Emma B. King, whose stern manner had left her to be called, out of her hearing, Emma be King. She was in charge of the hardest decisions of their declining years, including closing other villages and the religion itself to new converts.
As they closed buildings and villages, she had to weigh many requests by those looking to carry off a piece of Shaker heritage.
The sisters were often asked to sell their furniture, tools, music, and historical documents. He was a showman and a salesman, and that mix would come to their rescue. He was a high school dropout whose education never ended; he was determined in everything he did. He had become a singing cowboy on a bet. Bud auditioned at radio stations, his older sister Margaretta helping look up stories of the old West to tell. He landed gigs all around Boston. Bud was a seeker, but never a convert.
I mean that humbly—that God has opened doors for us. The right things came. The sisters welcomed everyone who found their way to their hill in Canterbury, a small town 14 miles north of the state capital, Concord.
Canterbury Shaker Village was 29 buildings on a hill, mostly wooden, mostly painted white, lined up neatly with rows of old maples and white fences. It was pleasing, the buildings—large and small houses and barns—set out as a child might, lacking the usual configuration of buildings facing a street or a parking lot.
In this setting visitors found harmony, serenity, simplicity, solace for the soul. They found virtue; they found belief, even if they themselves were not believers. As their population shrank they took down buildings and sold land until they had about two dozen buildings and hundreds of acres in hay fields, orchards, and woods.
The Shakers had a wild beginning. In England, the woman who was to become Mother Ann Lee joined a small group of renegade Quakers who regarded Continued on p. The Great Fire at Chicago, Octr. Continued from p. This is already the fourth and highest summit in a journey that hits seven small peaks in all, with many ledges for leaf peeping along the way, before returning you via the Yellow Trail to the parking lot.
The view from the. Rapunzel-esque three-story stone tower atop Haystack Mountain is worth the half hour or so of exertion it takes to scramble to the summit on this scenic loop trail. From the parking area, the short, steep hike is doable for most abilities. Seen from 1, feet above sea level, the autumn landscape seems to gleam and glow.
Bring binoculars to drink in the color of the mature hardwood forest below—and maybe spy a moose feeding too. Touch the wild in a way you never dreamed possible!
Located in the beautiful, accessible hill-country of Southern NH. For those who. Your destination is the North Traveler summit, and after the first lookout half a mile in, maples and birches yield to long stretches of open ridge, providing largely unobstructed views of mountains, ponds, and lakes all the way to the top. It takes less than a mile to reach South Bubble and nearby geological oddity Bubble Rock via the Bubbles Divide Trail and the Bubbles Trail , which means the going gets quite steep in parts.
But the view from the top back to the Atlantic Ocean is exceptional, especially when you add in autumn color. A multi-media group exhibition featuring work by 10 New England artists that celebrates the ethnicities, cultures, communities, and traditions of the people of the region.

The easiest hike to the top, a loop primarily set on the Cheshire Harbor Trail, still requires about four to five hours of moderate to strenuous effort. The payoff: looking out at a landscape that encompasses five states, several mountain ranges, and an ocean of glowing autumn leaves. As majestic as undiluted nature can be, the Boston skyline rising above a sea of red and gold leaves is a peak experience in its own right.
The 7,acre-plus Blue Hills Reservation—the largest open space within 35 miles of the city—has long been a favorite place for Bostonians to get a new perspective on their home, thanks to its bountiful hills and lookouts and more than miles of trails.
The premier route is the Skyline Trail, which traverses the east-west length of the reservation. It briefly splits at park headquarters into north and south trails; the former is longer and more strenuous but boasts some of the finest views. Note: Requiring an estimated five hours and some tough climbing, the Skyline Trail is best done one-way to start, so grab a buddy and plan a car shuttle.
Dubbed the. The versatile mountain, which is set on its namesake 3,acre state reservation, beckons to hikers of all levels with 17 miles of well-marked trails traversing forests and meadows, streams and ponds. Combining the Pocumtuck Ridge and Old Mountain trails, this loop up and over the south summit is short yet challenging enough to get the endorphins going, and the foot summit, topped with an observation tower, is an unbeatable perch for gazing out over the Connecticut River, the Pelham Hills and Berkshire Hills, and the Pioneer Valley towns of Deerfield, Sunderland, and Amherst.
Tucked away within Crawford Notch State Park in the White Mountains, this loop hike has some steep climbing through deciduous forest up to Frankenstein Cliff, where a lookout gives views of Crawford Notch and the Saco River below. Though you can take your pick from any of the fine trails at this 3,foot peak, we recommend that first-time hikers head up via the White Dot Trail and descend by way of the White Cross Trail.
At the bald summit, you can look out toward Boston, some 65 miles away, and drink in the autumn color of countless acres of protected highlands below. The most easily recognizable peaks in the Great North Woods beckon to hikers looking to avoid the White Mountains crowds while maxing out on foliage vistas. Plus, look for blueberry barrens at the summit to be blazing red in fall. Connecting the Welch and Dickey mountains, the route boasts nearly two miles of open ledges that give prime views of the hardwood-carpeted bowl between the two peaks as well as shots of many mountains in the surrounding ranges.
Some tricky rock scrambling is required; go counterclockwise in order to climb, rather than descend, the toughest slabs. Many folks looking for an easy climb in the Lakes Region head not to Winnipesaukee but Squam, which is. The mostly dirt path traverses hardwood forest— meaning ample fall color—before reaching the summit, where granite ledges offer eyepopping views of Squam.
Scramble over glacier-dumped boulders and under mountain laurel on this relatively short but challenging day hike along a portion of the mile Narragansett Trail.
Starting from the parking area on Canonchet Road, take the Long Pond Trail through Audubon wildlife refuge lands to reach the high bluffs above Ell and Long ponds, a truly breathtaking spot part of the movie Moonrise Kingdom was filmed here. Then retrace your steps and dip south on a gentler portion of the Narragansett Trail to the forested shores of Ashville Pond before heading back to your car. Situated on conserved lands in the heart of the largest coastal forest between Boston. Heading east from the parking areas, this loop hike meanders through woodlands dotted with boulders, old cemeteries, stone walls, and cellar holes on the Flintlock and Wickaboxet trails before rounding back to the signature Tillinghast Pond Trail, which offers a number of overlooks above the beautiful acre pond.
Located in the George Washington Management Area, the trail is broken into three loops of varying distances, but the longest circuit—marked with orange blazes—is still moderate enough for most hikers. Quiet woodlands and wetlands predominate, and at the Bowdish Reservoir you can tack on the 1. At this acre-. Try the Hanging Rock Trail, an out-and-back along a ridge that leads to a short cliff with views of Gardiner Pond and the ocean. Much of the route is spent in a hardwood forest with brooks, bridges, and boulders along the way, eventually leading out onto a ski slope and the final push to the 3,foot summit.
Plus, it offers a true escape from civilization, as this state park is completely undeveloped, with no visitor facilities. Bring water and lots of snacks, because this one will make you work— just as surely as the autumn scenery will make you swoon. A rugged loop hike on the Middlesex, Waterbury, and White Rock trails provides twice the bang for the buck by connecting these two scenic peaks, both featuring wide-open summits above slopes of mixed hardwood forest.
Mount Hor rises above the southwestern shores of Lake Willoughby, the loveliest lake in the Northeast Kingdom, not to mention the state. Brunswick, ME is nice to visit.
