Last year, I set out to hike Mt. Washington with the dogs and the man. Mission accomplished by July 3rd, so we figured we'd keep going and hike the other mountains in the state that exceed 4,000 ft. (48 in all). We managed to summit four last year: Washington, Pierce, Eisenhower, Jefferson.I decided to continue that quest this year, but this time I would be without my male counterpart. My first hike of the season was, of course, bittersweet, but I have more than a decade of solo hiking under my belt that allowed me to enjoy the journey (plus two adorable four-legged girls that kept me company).
