I don’t agree. There are plenty of places to go hiking with microspikes that isn’t remote white mountain tops that can be life threatening. There are many different levels of preparedness, and that’s pretty easy to figure it out. Eg, anyone with microspikes can hike to the summit of monadnock with no problem. Winter gives you experiencing can’t get in other seasons.

Don't skip the mountains just because there's snow on them. Because there's snow on them is a great reason to hike them. Just go prepared.

New Hampshireites like their rocks to be shaped like things. Old men, Indian chiefs .. frogs apparently .. https://www.trailspotting.com/2022/01/frog-rock-new-boston.html

I agree with AllTrails with the subscription. The star ratings aren’t very useful though - everything seems to have 4 1/2 stars. Sorting by popular can help, but that won’t help you find the best quiet trails.I have my own little website https://trailspotting.com where I rate NH trails as a single consistent voice, but so only have around 120 trails reviewed so far.
Also .. no need to wait until spring. Fall is great, and for winter all you need for most trails are some layers and microspikes. Winter hikes can be spectacular.
Consider going up with a group too. Facebook is a good place to find likeminded hikers who go already have a nose for the best trails.

Good article. The wording of the ballot questions is horrible.

I’m not sure you’re familiar with winter hiking. It’s fine. Read up and be prepared. I’m not suggesting that people hike Washington in February in flip flops. Have fun and enjoy the outdoors even in the winter is what I’m saying. Your reactionary comments are OTT.
