Cooler fall weather is upon us, and the leaves are beginning to embrace their fiery colors. For me, this is the time I enjoy hiking the 52 with a view and other mountains that provide a prime vantage point for this vibrant New Hampshire spectacle. I also enjoy camping with the crisp fall nights wearing flannel around a campfire devoid of bugs. And this year is even more special, because I’m getting married October 10^th on a mountain ridge with a view of Mount Washington. I couldn’t ask for a more magical time of year in our beautiful state. I hope you too get a chance to experience the outdoors, exploring the trails in your hiking boots, climbing, backpacking, cycling, floating through the water in your kayak or canoe, or just kicking back around the campfire.

We closed the summer this year, remembering the numerous events throughout New Hampshire and beyond that were a part of the AMC 150 Relay. I was proud to be a part of it, co-leading the leg between Zealand Hut and the Highland Center. The excitement was palpable at all the events, and there was much love for the AMC, our members, and our volunteers shared by all. The AMC is you, so enjoy this beautiful fall weather and color by attending an AMC event or excursion, bringing a friend, or even becoming a leader. We’re glad to have you.
