Hiking Welch & Dickey Mountains

by admin

Preston went hiking in White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. Mommy and Daddy picked Welch-Dickey Loop for this hike.
The hike starts out with an easy trail in the woods.

Then, it gets a bit more strenuous. Preston needed a little lift from Daddy sometimes.

The view at the summit is breathtaking.

Mommy and Daddy like this trail a lot. Welch-Dickey loop is not long (4.4 miles, 3.5 hour hike) but challenging enough to get a feeling of accomplisment. There are several open ledges providing spectacular panoramic views along the way. It is a great family hike. Preston has become such a good hiker. He led the way but always made sure Mommy follows closely.

    Wow! Preston looks like a Barking Great time you had! The view is amazing. I love to hike. Maybe human Granny will recover soon from the ‘Walk for Mutt Mosey’ and then we can take a hike too. I love this pictures and the way you watch over Mommy. You are the Best pup!

    Oh my! That is one serious hike Preston!! I can’t believe you are able to climb such steep rocks!! It must be those booties you are wearing! What are you holding in your mouth at the top of the hill? Snacks? You are such a good caretaker of your Mommy…..no wonder she loves you so much!
