My real first day started with a hike in Franconia Notch. I’ve spent most of the summer and fall exhausted and stressed between the constantly changing sleep schedule from working the overnight shift, and a global pandemic.
Day 0.5: False Start
When I planned this road trip, I thought it would be a good idea to give myself a day to pack and put everything together before hitting the road. But when I woke up at 4:30am on Saturday, I didn’t see a reason to wait any longer.
Road Tripping with Chloe: Preface
Two months ago, I quit my job in TV news. Friday November 6th was my last day so I decided to take a road trip.
NH48: Mount Moosilauke and South Peak
Perfect for leaf peeping and checking off a 4,000 footer, Mount Moosilauke and South Peak are a great New Hampshire day hike.
Favorite Hikes: Mount Mansfield
A beautiful mountain with so many options for a great hike.
Gear Review: Ruffwear Roamer Bungee Dog Leash
I’ve had this leash for almost 8 months now, and it’s by far the fanciest leash I’ve ever owned.
NH48: Mount Osceola
Mount Osceola was Chloe and my first big hike in New Hampshire. It was a good introduction to the Whites, bu still a challenge.
Training Tips: Walking Your Dog Off Leash
This is probably one of the biggest concerns I’ve had while hiking with a dog. When Chloe and I first started hiking, I always had her on leash, but quickly realized that wasn’t always the easiest way to hike.
Favorite Hikes: Poke-O-Moonshine
One of our favorite hikes in the Adirondacks! It’s short and sweet and great for dogs.
