Completed the Belknap 12!
April 2 - April 30, 2022. Finished Summiting eight of the 12 peaks in the Belknap Range (NH) and along with our son Kyle and dog Rocky, we earned our first patch! We started hiking the Belknap Range prior to my complications. We had completed four of the eight so it was nice to pick up where we left off as there is no time limit on completing all twelve summits. The summit views from this range are unreal with Lake Winnipesaukee on a few. A bunch of the summits were wooded but nonetheless still very cool. My favorites were Mount Major and Piper. Finishing these in a short amount of time and feeling great physically while doing it gave me the confidence to actually try hiking a 4000 footer. The Belknap Range is a great way to get started and get a confidence boost to realize what can be accomplished.
