New Trails at Smith Pond
Some of my favorite woods and trails are up along the Smith Pond Brook and Smith Pond. The brook has two of the finest waterfalls in the Upper Valley: Big Dog Falls and Little Dog Falls. The valley up to the falls is like a mini Grand Canyon. The area around the Smith Pond is very diverse with very steep terrain, marshes, many brooks and stream, and a lot of wildlife. When I read a post that the Upper Land Trust had put in some new trails, I had to check them out. You are now able to hike a 5-6 mile loop from Rte 4A up to and back…

An Early Spring at Big Dog Falls
What a beautiful morning! Walked up to Big Dog Falls. It was a little teacherous with the ice and frozen snow. I had to wade accross the cold brook a few times to be able to make it up to the falls. On the way back I stirred up a group of deer feeding in the open logged hillside. The male actually came back around a little further down the trail and gave me a load snort before he darted off to join with the rest of the herd.
