Grand Canyon National Park is big, but not that big. It is almost exactly the size of Santa Fe County, and, with 5 million visitors per year, draws five times the crowds. Many places in the southwestern desert are far more remote. How can there be places in the Park that are hardly visited from one year to the next?

Peakbagging in New England and where it brought me

Although not internationally known for its mountain hiking, New England has a surprising quality and variety of small ranges and moderate peaks. The naturally obsessive tend towards a tradition of bagging peaks meeting certain criteria, of which the New Hampshire Fours are probably the most well-known. I'll share my adventures climbing the hundred highest peaks in New England, with some relevant local history and a dash of light geology. Peakbagging naturally lead me to other outdoor pursuits and concerns in an environment that has seen heavy use for a century and a half.
