      Susan,

      I've done a lot of hiking with the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts. You should have no problem with the Rhododendron Park/Little Monadnock hike. I've done that with my kids. It's a good judge of your abilities.

      I think that Mount Monadnock (aka Grand Monadnock) is the most hiked mountain in the northeast. Which is good, because the trails are well traveled and marked, but bad because, well, it is well traveled. That is a more intermediate hike and most beginners can usually handle that as well. I haven't hiked Blue Hills yet, but I think that is an intermediate hike as well, comparable to Mount Monadnock. Something like Mount Cardigan or Mount Tom is a bit more advanced as the elevations are getting up there but they are still doable for most folks. I HAVE seen some scouts have problems with Mount Cardigan if they (1) are really out of shape, (2) they are not wearing proper footwear, or (3) they do not drink enough water and become dehydrated. Anything I setup will include the difficulty.

      Mount Monadnock is a good intermediate hike, pretty accessable for most people and I've done Mt. Cardigan too, which is a bit more challenging. I've never done Mt. Tom though.

      I'd like to arrange a hike in early July to Little Monadnock via Rhoedendron State Park. It's an easy hike for all, yes even young kids, so it's a good introductory hike and the rhoedendrons are supposed to be in bloom (I've done this hike later in July when the blooms are gone, but there are wild blueberries on the top.

        Okay, let's stop talking about it and actually get hiking. If someone wants to organize a Blue Hills thing, that might be doable for the city folk, but I'm setting my compass towards Little Monadnock and Rhoedendron State Park.

        This is a really easy hike so the skill level should not be a problem. I haven't got the info I need to post an event with me here at work, but I'll post an event tonight from home for Saturday, July 14th. How does that sound?

        This is a few weeks away, but I picked the date based on when I have my kids and other activities that I have upcoming.

        Feel free to setup a Blue Hills thing or something else before then. Maybe we can then do a Mount Monadnock things a couple of weeks after this one.
