Have a backup plan, so you know what to do if situations change beyond your control.




Wildly Responsible in the Spring
As the weather warms, it’s important to stay cautious near thawed, rushing rivers and to dress for changing temperatures. Remember that any outdoor activity across wild areas damages ecosystems. Stay on the trail this spring, both for your safety and to keep New Hampshire wild.
