I had planned on going on a hike today since it’s one of the few days that classes don’t eat up all my time, but the forecast is showing possible thunderstorms so it looks like I’ll be spending the day indoors. As you can see from the picture above, mountains sometimes act like lightning rods as they are the highest points from the ground. Getting caught up there in a storm could be deadly, so it’s important to check the weather before embarking on a trip.

Hi all mountain enthusiasts! This blog will document my adventures in the White Mountains as I prepare for a backpacking trip upon graduation. It will highlight the best trails in the New England region and include tips, fun facts, and other things related to mountain sports and activities. Exploring the mountains has always been the way I unwind, exercise, and connect with nature and I want to share that with all of you!
