3 Gorgeous & Easy Viewpoint Hikes in New Hampshire's White Mountains

[@asafaust8869]

This has to be one of the most gorgeous scenes on earth.

[@AdamHoyt]

it sure is!

[@Bryankirshon]

i love the whites i have family in new Hampshire

[@AdamHoyt]

They are the best! Love them.

[@AdamHoyt]

The hikes in the video were reordered from how I actually hiked them that day on account of the crowds and more importantly dramatic effect. HAHA Happy Hiking!

Try Eagle Cliff, Franconia notch.

@@baldingeagle8404 amazing state!

[@matthewgallant3622]

My wife is now hooked on the White Mountains 😂 for hiking and snowboarding. I’m trying to get her to appreciate Vermont just the same but so far she only wants to go to Lincoln and North Conway. No complaints here! 😅

[@Pallandoii]

I'm thinking of trying to do Artist Bluff after I do Mount Osceola and East Osceola next Friday. I'm planning on starting Osceola around 8 am so not sure how realistic I'm being in getting a parking spot at Artist Bluff afterwards. View looks amazing!

[@amy6660]

I have watched the videos over and over again and I must say I love the relaxing music 🎶 😁👏🏻

[@AdamHoyt]

Glad it helps put you in that relaxing zen state!

[@papi2105]

Great! Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it. Best wishes.

[@AdamHoyt]

Glad you liked it! Go get hiking!

Mt. Willard is a great hike if you want a hike but don't want to really exert yourself. I saw video a few weeks about with Mt. Willard in it and there appeared to be some sort of chain blocking off the right side of the summit. Was I imaging things? If there is fence blocking that portion, that will bum me out as that's where I like to hide and read a book. I have a couple videos of Mt. Willard, the first before the first snow storm of the season of 2020 and on in the middle of the Winter. The Winter hike is absolutely gorgeous. I did Artist's Bluff in the Winter and this past Spring. There are some tricky parts that put a little spice into the hike.

[@AdamHoyt]

Hey Paul, I am not sure about a chain as the summit looked the same as it always has the day that I hiked it. Both such great hikes in all the seasons.

[@PaulsWanderings]

@@AdamHoyt that's what I want to hear. Granted, I won't be reading any books up there for the next 6 months.

[@KrizAkoni]

Beautiful time of year! Square ledge is so under rated. I remember doing Artist’s Bluff with my family as a kid. Great hikes!

[@AdamHoyt]

It’s also such a thrill when you get to square ledge and catch some rock climbers in action!

[@Justin-tp3lr]

Someday. I rode out to the AMC visitor center last weekend on the bike. I have live in Southern Maine and close to all these hikes for so long and I have never done any of them.

[@AdamHoyt]

Nice

[@cupc4kez]

I like the editing! Keeps it interesting and entertaining to watch.

[@AdamHoyt]

Thank you! Always trying to keep things moving and interesting!

[@thepresentvegan]

Love it. Subscribed 👏

[@AdamHoyt]

Welcome aboard! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@noteman316]

I live in NH, but I have never been to any of these. Ill be sure to check them out! Great Video!

[@AdamHoyt]

Defiantly go! On a weekday if it’s peak foliage for sure!

[@nolan5251]

this video is amazing! wait till you do the bonds, you can see literally every mountain in the whites.

[@AdamHoyt]

They might be my 48 finale!!

[@theharvlord7246]

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us! Very helpful for people planning to go to the white mountains!

[@AdamHoyt]

My pleasure. I hope your trip goes great!

[@Joymusictravel]

Loved the Artist bluff ❤

[@AdamHoyt]

It’s awesome!

[@cathycoats8607]

Nice video! I am looking for some easy trails in the white mountain.

[@AdamHoyt]

Well these are all a great starting point!

[@RobertSmith-km6gi]

I realize that this doesn’t fit the criteria of the post but I think the best view of Pinkham Notch and the Presidential range is from the Imp face.

[@AdamHoyt]

Yes that’s an amazing view and one I’ve loved to do but it’s not nearly as easy as the other three for sure!

[@HangLe-ym5hf]

Very informative. Thank you very much.

[@AdamHoyt]

Glad it was helpful! Hope you catch some of these amazing views in your future soon!

[@rebecca.menashe]

This was helpful!

[@AdamHoyt]

Glad you found it useful!

[@adarajennifer]

I just hiked Mt Willard. The view is spectacular! However, I really cannot agree that it is easy for everyone. Some of the rocks are rather large, which could be a problem for people who have knee problems. A few books list this hike as moderate, and I think that's fair. Otherwise, great video!

[@AdamHoyt]

One of my favorite views for sure! I'll have to try it again with my recovering knee after they let me unlock my brace and I'll get back to everyone on how that went haha. I could see this being a great first hike back in the saddle after not hiking for months haha. have fun hiking!

[@teddykgb89]

Agreed...its nice until you get to the 75 degree incline with the rocks.

[@subforceusa694]

I tend to agree with you it’s a long climb and there is some moderately difficult rocks to deal with. The view is beautiful though. Thankfully I live in Twin Mountain not far from many great trails.

[@japrtorres]

These are all on my list! May I know how much time "one way" to hike each of these viewpoints? Thanks!

[@Dubstep412]

Thank you for this! I will be visiting NH for the first time and was looking for some simple yet awesome hikes and these 3 are perfect. Im staying at the White Lake state park. Also planning on doing the franconia ridge trail as well.

[@AdamHoyt]

Yes these are all a nice change of pace to fit around the bigger Franconia ridge you have planned! A great area. All located close enough to where you are staying. Enjoy it!

[@papi2105]

Good for you. I am planning to visit NH and I am exiting about the Franconia Ridge. Cannot wait. Have fun and enjoy yourself.

[@matthewgallant3622]

I love the Whites. I grew up with ski/snowboarding culture, where the attention is more on Vermont than NH, and rightly so. But as I traveled up to the White Mountains to snowboard I realized how amazing they are and I think even more special. And excellent ski resorts as well. I love the view of Cannon there from Artist Bluff. Amazing ski mountain and I think the only state-run ski mountain in NH.

[@AdamHoyt]

ahh I've never skiied that mountain but have always seen people doing it. Maybe I'll have to finally try that someday!

[@matthewgallant3622]

@@AdamHoyt Definitely! One of I think only 2 4,000 foot ski resorts in New England also. Lots of challenging terrain there also if you like the more advanced stuff.

[@scottblunt5897]

This is the correct way to live.

[@AdamHoyt]

yes yes yes

[@devajchopda9816]

Hey We are planning to visit during late October. Would we miss the foliage or would still be as good? Thanks!

[@AdamHoyt]

I believe for the tallest nh mountains late October is too late but check the foliage forecast.

[@pathlesstraveler6416]

YOU HAVE A KZbin!? MY GOD! WHAT A GEM! been following on instagram for AGES now, I can’t believe I didn’t know about this!

[@AdamHoyt]

haha Welcome to the KZbin. Don't post as often over here as there. Most of the stuff there is the stuff here shortened down anyways haha. But hope you find stuff you like!

[@paigemccoy7317]

Is square ledge and artists bluff both doable in one day? We really want to do both but having a hard time getting an understanding of where everything is located.

[@AdamHoyt]

HI Paige. They are both very doable for the average person. You could do one in the morning and one in the afternoon with time for lunch in between if you wanted. In the video's description I have listed the google maps addresses for each of the trailheads for each of the the three hikes included. There is one hour driving time between the Artist Bluff trailhead and the Square Ledge trailhead.

[@ramyanenavath1828]

Hi, i see you mentioned there is a 0.5 mile trail to go to artists bluff. Can i know where is the starting point for that trail?

[@AdamHoyt]

across the street from the cannon mountain rv park parking lot. but with the crazy traffic coming for peak foliage i'm not sure they will let you park there. don't worry literally every person will be walking along the road to hike that .5 mile trail single file to the ledge haha. you'll know where it is. or ask the cop directing traffic haha

[@jasmar3562]

I what time did you recommend or started the hiking?

[@AdamHoyt]

All of these hikes are fairly short and wouldn't really affect what time you would need to start. I think for timing what would matter more is if the parking lots get filled up. So earlier is better so that you can get a parking spot at the trail head!

[@jasmar3562]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!❤️

[@phillbr51]

Do any of these in fall on the weekend and it's like the line at the DMV.

[@AdamHoyt]

Hooooya

[@stowgood]

How hard do you think it would be to do all three in one day?

[@AdamHoyt]

Not hard. Thats almost what I did here but I started late and had to film and made the hikes take longer than if I just hiked them.

[@austinstitzel]

I'm gonna guess that you are a Capricorn.

[@AdamHoyt]

hmm
