Welcome to NH. Lived here all my life and we have more trails and waterfalls then anyone could even imagine.

[@hikingwithbinerman]

Wife and I are camping at the KOA in Woodstock. Today we did some shopping in the lake region. Stopped into your nice store today. First time walking around Meredith. Tomorrow morning we are going to do some of the waterfall hikes you posted! Thanks!

[@carlosmachado6600]

My family and I just moved to Dover. Looking forward to doing this and seeing all the water falls in New Hampshire!

[@thesoundpainterbkny3465]

GREAT VIDEO! I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester. (What's up Manchester?) and I loved to go to the White Mountains. You need a water backpack.

[@my4sweethearts3]

Thanks for the views of the Bemis Trail. My guess is table names with pictures for your wedding reception? Great to see you again on the trail.

[@cygnals524]

If you are looking for an easy hike in the White Mountains with an incredible view check out Lonesome Lake. It is in Franconia Notch and only about a one hour hike. You park at the Lafayette Place Campground parking lot. You basically start out on the same trail as if you were hiking Cannon Mountain but it splits off to the left for Lonesome Lake. The views are amazing and there are AMC Huts up there. I love sitting on that dock! I have also slept overnight up there dozens of times in January! Winter camping & hiking is awesome and waking up at Lonesome Lake is one of my favorite things to do!

Tough to find a Karen in NH now with the mask mandates lifted. Good luck getting a picture of one.

[@frankgell69]

Hahahahahh... I thought the same thing...

[@cygnals524]

As a resident of NH I have to say I have not seen any Karen's Orr anyone else freaking out about masks or any other things. If you want to see any Karen's around here just go t a Wal-Mart around midnight. You are bound to see some Karen's and an assortment of drunken folks making Karen's out of themselves. 🙂

😄😄 thinking the same thing lol

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Beautiful country. Enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@devinelgert4880]

Arethusa is (usually) pronounced AIR-a-thuza; it's named for the Greek nymph who became a fountain. Pretty sure it's NH's highest waterfall.

[@garystopka2630]

It is the tallest waterfall on the east coast

[@PaulsWanderings]

You've done a video with Glenn Ellis Falls and Adam Hoyt just posted a video with Glenn Ellis falls. I guess I have to get my butt up to Gorham and do my video with Glenn Ellis Falls.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Haha why not! It might be the shortest hike in the whites

[@tailsdragon4447]

If I remember right I think its castle in the clouds or sky is songs falls and the path has 7 or 8 waterfalls on it about 2 mile trail

[@defend223]

[@martiecook5196]

Have vicariously hiked your NoBo trip with you. So glad to see vids like this for our own beautiful area! Please continue reminding folks that even on "easy" short hikes, it's good to have a water and snack supply with you "just in case." #hikesafe

[@williamwirick886]

You didn't have a Dunkin coffee stop on your list? Great video..

[@judithm.brennen5159]

Try Arethusa Falls in the winter- it’s beautiful when it’s frozen!!!

[@GaerHampton]

It must be a cool feeling to revisit parts of the AT, to see the white blazes, and to know that you've hiked the whole thing from one end to the other!

[@franklaferriere5754]

So Taylor. I'm a nature photographer up here. Here is an interesting story about Glen Ellis falls. There was a Native maiden from one local tribe in love with a warrior of another local tribe. But they were forbidden to be together. So? They climbed to the top of Glen Ellis, and holding hands jumped off. Now the story is? If the light hits the bottom of the falls you can see them, standing there holding hands. Now I've photographed this falls a few times, and once I captured the outline of them.

[@AdamHoyt]

I bet it’s a new monopoly!

[@BnORailFan]

Great idea

[@lisapellitier2450]

Pictures for the wedding ceremony

[@BSinNH]

Scavenger Hunt? And go see Diana's Bath in Bartlett/No. Conway area. Very easy hike and a beautiful waterfall. There are also a couple right on 302 that you can pull over and appreciate. No hiking. Lazy I know but still quite beautiful.

Cohos Trail is definitely on my bucket list!! Arethusa Falls is amazing!!! I've done that hike a few times now. Ripley Falls is cool as well. Loving this video!

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Lots of beauty today. Loved the various falls. You are a joyful person. I thought that before the AT, and you were throughout the AT. To me, that’s the real you: joyful.

[@chriscarney5374]

I LOVE NH

I love waterfalls. They're so pretty. I'm going to vote calendar even though you didn't take 12 different pictures.

Wow--no pack or trekking poles! Must've felt amazing! Thanks for posting.

[@PaulsWanderings]

Great minds think alike. I have been working on a waterfall play list and Glen Ellis is on my list.

[@cygnals524]

Arethusa Falls is pronounced "air-ah-thoo-sa" I am 99% certain but cold be wrong. The state info building at the parking lot there has some interesting history. It is the "Wiley House" and was preserved. Many years ago a family with the last name "Wiley" lived in that building as it was ther home. There was a massive landslide and the entire family ran out of the house to try to get to safety. Unfortunately all members of the family died. The sad part is their home was never touched by the landslide aand they all would have survived if they had just stayed in their home. I live I NH and have hiked and slept overnight in the White Mountains hundreds of times over the years. I really enjoyed your video and hope you make more about hiking in NH. I believe Arethusa Falls is the biggest waterfall in NH but I could be wrong on that. Thanks for recording and sharing this video here! 😀🏕🏞⛰

[@cygnals524]

I was wrong about Arethusa Falls as it is the 2nd largest waterfall in NH with Dryad Falls being the largest. The disaster that killed 7 members of the Wiley family + 2 others happened on August 28, 1826 and that event sparked tourism in that area.

[@cygnals524]

Here is some info on the Wiley House incidenten.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willey_House,_New_Hampshire

[@windog551]

I live in NH. Nice video.

[@timwallace6379]

I love the Frankstien cliffs hike there, makes a nice loop.

[@middangeard374]

Would love to see some of your hikes filmed in 360 Taylor! We're many hours from NH and so only get there about once a year. I need a fix for the rest of the year, so the more immersive, the better. One day, I hope they can figure out how to communicate scent digitally. Being able to breathe in the pine air along with 360 videos of the White Mountains would be amazing! ;-)

[@frankgell69]

So what's on your ankles? Are they weights? Are the little protective things so that rocks don't get in the shoe?

[@TheOutdoorLife]

Great video idea! Absolutely love New Hampshire. Arethusa falls via the Bemis brook trail is stunning. Even in winter. Loved Frankenstein Cliffs as well.

[@adventureseeking]

Hey Tayler, I'm planning on doing the COHOS Trail too. Started it in Canada already. Not sure if I should section hike it or thru-hike it. I've never thru-hiked (gonna practice on the Greenway - Monadnock/Sunapee). Hoping to find someone to car spot if I can't find the time to thru-hike it. Love your videos. Trying the Belnap/Gunstock hike this weekend.

You didn't seem to be concerned about the quality of the photos so I'm wondering if they will be used for a sketch, maybe for shirts. Not sure that works for a random set of photos that includes signs.

Why do you do what so many videographers do ???...whenever you talk you keep the camera on yourself. We like to see the trail. Even if in the car, we like to see where you are going, the road, the area. Only do that if you want us to decide if we want to do this hike. Isn't that the point of the video? To let us decided?!

[@suzannemccoy9610]

Taylor, my husband and I started following you last year for ideas for easy hikes in New Hampshire. We’ve enjoyed following you on your AT thru hike but we definitely love the videos of your hikes in New Hampshire. Please keep them coming (working and planning a wedding is stressful). We deeply appreciate your videos. Thank you.🙏
