Have you ever thought about how much fun exercising on a mountain can be. Now i don't mean Mt Washington, but if you were to take a small mountain like Mt Major in Alton NH you can build a routine including, push ups, squats, lunges, jumping jacks, and core work very easily. We do it every weekend. Drop me an email if your interested and will be glad to tell you what we do. Better yet, stop by and join us.

                     

well today was a beautiful day to hike Mt Major. It's a great trail for a short hike, and has views no other small mountain can match. Well today it was about 38 degree's, and made due with my wool sweater, I-Pod, and Micro Spikes.

 For those who do any hiking or even shoveling a steep driveway, micro Spikes are killer. They cost $50 and are a great investment compared to cramp on's at over $100. I like the small mountains for the winter, verses Mt Washington and others. Need very little hiking gear and usually can be down in a few hours. Well enjoy the spring and start your workout's.

Congratulations to Mount Washington Valley Olympic Ski locals Bode Miller and Leanne Smith. There participation and the other 8 athletes assured NH was well represented in the Winter Olympics in Vancouver BC. Medal rich NH came out looking good. Maybe it's because being in the North Country, but I love the Winter Olympics. With the added snow fall and continued Nor East'er  we can hope for a great spring skiing in the White Mountains.

We have done a face lift on Hike the Summits. Lets us know how you like it. We will be adding a blog post for news etc as we hike the white mountains or we find interesting news for the white mountain valley. Hope you enjoy the new site and look forward to your comments.
