#Volunteers built this amazing boardwalk so these wetlands can be enjoyed by #appalachiantrail #hikers while minimizing their impact. Imagine the work that goes into this. Thank you Maine Appalachian Trail Club! This is what I call #trailmagic. #at2016 #appalachiantrials #matc

I love living so close to the mountains being a NH resident! Last week I took a trip up to Maine and got a chance to chat with a couple thru hikers just 3 weeks from finishing the Appalachian Trail! #hikenh #scenesofnewengland #amcoutdoors #appalachiantrials #appalachiantrail #603love #livefreeordie #newenglandlove #nhrealtor #yankeemagazine #rei1440project #optoutside #expandyourplayground

I don’t want anyone to ask me what I’ve always wanted to do and have to admit I never did it. One of the most exhilarating things to do on the trail after a long hot day is finding a pristine body of water to just dunk yourself in and emerge feeling refreshed. #justdoit
