White Mountain Trails

Lace up your boots for the granite peaks of New Hampshire. Winthrop Packard tramps the White Mountains trail by trail, through spruce forests and cloud-filled notches to the bare summits above, recording the birds, flowers, weather, and mountain moods he meets along the way. Written in 1917 with a walker's rhythm and a naturalist's eye, it captures these beloved mountains before the crowds. Hikers and armchair wanderers alike will feel the summit wind in these pages.
