Progress Updates (3 total)

Update #1: Hike the 48 NH 4000 footers

Complete all of the 4000 footers in New Hampshire
Challenges Overcome: Have already done 20ish

Update #2: 3 more peaks this year

50% complete
Slow year but hoping to get a few more hikes in this fall before the snow hits
Challenges Overcome: Did my first solo hike (with the dog) this week
Obstacles Faced: Don't love hiking alone but meant a lot to be able to get another peak in
Next Steps: Maybe I'll be big & brave and do another solo hike!
Looking Back: Obviously knew this, but so important not to hinge your goals on other people

Update #3: Another peak down- hiked Waumbek yesterday

50% complete
Hit Starr-King then across to Waumbek and back. Was prepared to solo hike again but my dad was gracious enough to keep me company. Great to get some of these shorter hikes (this was ~7miles) done to hopefully do some longer trails before the snow hits.
Challenges Overcome: Actually think I'm at 26 peaks but need to sit down with my list
Obstacles Faced: Still concerned about doing the longer hikes alone because it's so tedious but probably going to be necessary
Next Steps: I've got a few more trails I'd love to do before winter rolls in. Fingers crossed I can find the time!
