  • A Beautiful Place to Die Cellphones, Energy Bars, and GPS Watches Have Turned Day-Trippers and Curious Tourists Into Mountain-Trekking Thrill Seekers
    THIS STORY HAS BEEN FORMATTED FOR EASY PRINTING A Beautiful Place to Die Cellphones, energy bars, and GPS watches have turned day-trippers and curious tourists into mountain-trekking thrill seekers. The problem is, the treacherous trails of the White Mountains are no place for rookies. By Mark Pothier | August 17, 2008 THE SIGNS ARE SUPPOSED TO remind hikers of their vulnerability. Especially those who, emboldened by cellphones and global positioning systems, set off into the Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains carrying little else besides day packs stocked with PowerBars. The message, in black lettering on yellow, is blunt: "STOP. The area ahead has the worst weather in America. Many have died there from exposure, even in the summer. Turn back now if the weather is bad." And each year, many people do stop, long enough to pose for a picture. Some photographs are uploaded to Flickr and other websites - including one of a pink-faced man gleefully acknowledging the warning with upraised middle fingers. A caption reads, "Tom showing the White Mountain National Forest what he thinks of their sign." Todd Bogardus, the search and rescue leader with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, is accustomed to such cavalier attitudes. For a new breed of hikers, he says, high-tech gadgets have replaced common sense, even though cellphone service is spotty in the mountains, and many people do not know how to operate their GPS devices. "Technology is good when it's used with proper basics and education, but it also gives a false sense of security," says Bogardus.

Four years ago, he endured a scary, unplanned overnight in mid-December. He agreed to show me where he’d hunkered down that night so that I could write this story. So we made our way to the ravine just north of Mount Eisenhower, where he’d spent that long night. We couldn’t drop down far enough, because we didn’t have the supporting snow underfoot. McGinness found a spot as low as he could reach to show the approximate arrangement. Nestled in the krummholz, it would have been a miserable experience, to be sure. We had made great time as we flew up the mountain, bounding strongly from rock to rock, gliding ever upward Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail.

  • June 21, 1788 New Hampshire Becomes a State
    June 21, 1788 New Hampshire Becomes a State New Hampshire is a state filled with beauty. Tourists love the mountains, lakes, and beaches. In the fall, the beauty of the bright leaves in all shades of red, orange, and yellow attract many visitors. And in the winter, the mountains attract skiers from many areas. In addition, visitors find a wealth of history in the state. In St. John’s Episcopal Church in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, you will find the Brattle organ. It is claimed that this organ is the oldest pipe organ in the United States. It was built in England and sent to the colonies in 1708 or earlier. It is still in good condition, and you can hear it played on special occasions. Did you know that artificial rain was first used to fight a forest fire near Concord in 1947? Many famous people are from New Hampshire, including Franklin Pierce, Daniel Webster, Alan B. Shepard, Jr., Christa McAuliffe, Salmon P. Chase, William Pitt Fessenden, Sarah Josepha Hale, and Eleanor Porter. Look at the map of New Hampshire below. Label the capital of New Hampshire. Locate the cities of Manchester, Nashua, Dover, Rochester, Keene, Portsmouth, Laconia, Claremont, Lebanon, Somersworth, Berlin, and Franklin, and label them on the map. Now label the White Mountains, Presidential Range, Franconia Range, Mount Washington, Mount Adams, Mount Jefferson, Mount Clay, Mount Monroe, Mount Madison, Profile Mountain, Cannon Mountain, Mount Moosilauke, Mount Monadnock, Mount Cardigan, Mount Kearsarge, and Sunapee Mountain Also, locate the Connecticut River, Pemigewasset River, Merrimack River, Winnipesaukee River, Androscoggin River, Saco River, Piscataqua River, Salmon Falls River, Lake Winnipesaukee, First Connecticut Lake, Second Lake, Squam Lake, Newfound Lake, and Winnisquam Lake, and label them.

  • Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. Trails for America
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Outdoor Recreation UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF OUTDOOR RECREATION WASHINGTON. D.C. 20240 September 16, 1966 Hon. Stewart L. Udali Secretary of the Interior Hon. Orville L. Freeman Secretary of Agriculture Washington, D.C. Dear Secretary Udall and Secretary Freeman: In April 1965 Secretary Udall requested the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation to take the lead in a nationwide trails study. This assignment was made in response to President Johnson's Natural Beauty Message of February 8, 1965, in which he called for development and protection of a balanced system of trails—in the Nation's metropolitan areas as well as in the countryside—in cooperation with State and local governments and private interests. He called for such a trail system to help protect and enhance the total quality of the outdoor environment as well as to provide much needed opportunities for healthful outdoor recreation. The President said: The forgotten outdoorsmen of today are those who like to walk, hike, ride horseback, or bicycle. For them we must have trails as well as highways. Nor should motor vehicles be permitted to tyrannize the more leisurely human traffic. Old and young alike can participate. Our doctors recommend and encourage such activity for fitness and fun. I am requesting, therefore, that the Secretary of the Interior work with his colleagues in the Federal Government and with State and local leaders and recommend to me a co- operative program to encourage a national system of trails, building up the more than hundred thousand miles of trails in our national forests and parks.
