December 23, 2022: I am pleased to release my newest, free e-book: Backpacking the Iconic Pemigewasset Wilderness. This e-book describes my 3 day, 35 mile journey into the heart of the White Mountains, New Hampshire.
The White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire is truly an inspiring place. It has wilderness and a surprisingly intact ecosystem given its location in the urbanized Northeast. It is so pristine that I have previously written a book suggesting that part of it should be given National Park status.
The Pemigewasset Wilderness is the biggest of 7 wilderness areas in the White Mountains. In this e-book, I – using 395 pictures – detail my 3 day backpacking trip (July 7-9, 2022) from start to finish in complete and great photographic detail. I have been to the White Mountains countless times since my youth, and after all of these visits I have gained a detailed knowledge of the area which helps to put my experiences into context. In this e-book, I share with you, the reader, my experience while hiking the ‘Pemi’ in a photographic journey intended to awe the reader.
