Sabbaday Falls
Another great short hike that leads to a series of small waterfalls. In the Summer the waterfalls have shallow pools that you can wade through and enjoy. Make sure you get there early enough since the parking lot fills up quickly!

If you have kids that are ready to start hiking in New Hampshire but are not sure where to start here are some of my kids favorite mountains that they have enjoyed!

Mount Pemigewasset Trail, New Hampshire
There are a couple of trails up Mt. Moosilaukee and each one has different difficulties. The Brook trail is a steady, more gradual route to a 4800 ft summit. Longer hike but one of the easiest paths to a true White Mountain Peak. This is best for mor...
Mount Moosilauke via Gorge Brook Trail, New Hampshire
If you are looking to get a view that is similar to the top of Mt. Major but you don't want to put in the work for it, this is a great option. Pro Tip: the trail head is across the street from the parking lot
