Ever wondered how to choose your first 4,000-footer to hike? In this episode, we spill the beans on why we picked Mt. Osceola as our introduction to the NH 48 4K club. We dive into the details of the trail, share the stunning views (spoiler: they don't disappoint), and of course, offer some tips for your own journey. After conquering the peak, we head to Mad River Coffee Shop for a well-deserved treat—delicious baked goods and some seriously good coffee to refuel. Want to see the breathtaking views we talk about? Check out our Instagram for all the photo evidence: Around New England Hiking.

Join us today as we explore not one, but two beautiful trails – North and Middle Sugarloaf! It’s a 2-for-1 special on the 52 With a View list, and these peaks definitely live up to the hype. Even on a cloudy morning, the views were breathtaking (prove that Mother Nature doesn't always need to be sunny to impress!). We’ll dive into all the trail details, from glacier boulders to a wooden staircase that feels straight out of a fairytale, plus a beautiful stream that's perfect for a cold plunge.

After conquering these family-friendly peaks, we made our way to the stunning Diana's Bath. Then, it was off to one of my all-time favorite breweries, Tuckerman’s Brewery in Conway, NH, for a well-earned post-hike pint. Be sure to check out Tuckerman's website and Instagram for all the event details and their mouth-watering menu.

We head to Girakofi for breakfast and coffee.

Then the Alchemist, a must try for any beer fan.

We enjoyed walking around Stowe and checking out some shops. Then it was time to hit the road.

We could not leave Vermont without stopping at Ben & Jerry's.

And we wanted to re-visit The Vermont Beer Collective. We were not hungry this time, but will have to save room to eat at the Reservoir in Waterbury, VT.

The gluten free beer I mentioned is: The Lucky Pigeon. My favorite I tried was Rock Dove.

This week, we’re off to the picturesque state of Vermont. I’ll do my best to keep the Noah Kahan references to a minimum—though, I mean, it was Stick Season, so no promises!

We kick things off by chatting about Gile Mountain in Norwich, VT. Mike dug up some cool info on the stairs along the trail, built by the Upper Valley Trails Alliance. You’ve got to check out their website, complete with pictures of these impressive stairs going up—mystery solved! But let’s be real, the breathtaking views of Killington from the top really steal the spotlight.

Next, we took a quick detour to Quechee Gorge. Another fantastic, family-friendly hike that’s perfect for anyone in the area. And while you’re in the neighborhood, if you’re into owls or birds in general, the VINS Center is definitely worth a stop!

After the hikes, it was time to grab some Heady Topper from the local store and head over to the Vermont Country Store. Because let’s face it, a trip to Vermont wouldn’t be complete without a little shopping spree! Thanks for listening!
