52 With A View: Mount Roberts

Thursday, May 12, 2022 - This is a map of the New Hampshire "52 With A View":

It turns out that I have climbed 12 of them so far.

Today I'm going to tackle Mount Roberts - a pretty-straightforward up-and-down hike. 5.13 miles in 2 hours 36 minutes:

Nice drive today - down into Boston, then up 93, over to the hike, then continuing over to 16 south back to 95, and home:

View of Lake Winnipesaukee going up, and out to the north at the top.

Nice view of Berry Pond in Moultonborough:

Nice views at the beginning of the hike:

The trails in this neck of the woods are old carriage trails:

A nice start for the first hike of the year.

First Viewpoint:

and yes, that's Lake Winnipesaukee down there:

You keep heading up, at a nice easy pace, on the very-well-marked trail:

I reached the summit around 1 PM:

with it's SUPER view of Mount Washington off to the north:

Excellent view on the way back. Maybe I'll do Mount Shaw next week:

When I got back down I found the REAL map:

After hiking, my route home took me right past Merrowvista:

Easy drive home for dinner. Thank You God for this Great "52 With A View" Day!

I did not take any music on my hike, and it was great having "Mexican Radio" and "Rain in the Summetime" in my head the whole time.
