Welch-Dickey Hike NH

On June 14th, Mike and I took our first "big" hike of the season. One of NH's "most bang for your buck" hikes is literally just down the road from us (the peaks are just in front of you before you turn down our road) - the Welch Dicky loop. It's a 4 mile loop that includes 2 peaks, is "only" about an 1800 foot ascent and give you 360 views of the white mountain range. This was our first big hike last year, so we've decided to make it our first hike every summer.
