About

Hike's N' Stuff is written by Julie LePage.  A few things about me...

Hiker/Backpacker
I'm an enthusiastic hiker & backpacker, particularly enjoying full day, multi-peak traverses, as well as multiple day backpacks in the farther reaches of NH & ME. I live in Boston, MA, USA and hike mostly in New England and occasionally in New York State.

History with the AMC
Since 2006, I've been a Volunteer Hike & Backpack Trip Leader for the Boston Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC). I lead hiking and backpacking trips year round in the mountains of New England. In 2008, I became a Hiking/Backpacking Trip Leader with AMC's August Camp, a nomadic, 4 week camp which plunks itself out west each summer (western US & Canada). And in 2009, I became a AMC Trail Adopter on an upper-portion of the Air Line Trail between Mt. Adams & Mt. Madison in New Hampshire's White Mountain National Forest. You can find me working away on the trail each June - Sept.

Food Lover
While this blog mostly focuses on hiking trips & gear, I also like to blab on about trail recipes, food product discoveries and other food related subjects.

 Ultralight Nerd
I'm a proud Trail Ambassador for Gossamer Gear, the ultra-light hike gear company from Austin, TX. Over the years I've lightened my backpack and enjoyed the freedom of hiking with less - and I enjoy sharing tips for lightening one's pack.

    Would it be possible to post a photo or two from your blog, that were taken in the Pondicherry area of Jefferson, NH a while ago on the Friends of the Cohos Trail Facebook page and in the Cohos Trail slide show? The Jefferson Meadows shot is a show stopper.
    Thank you. Kim R. Nilsen, founder of the Cohos Trail.

      Of course, Kim! I'm a huge fan of all the work you & all the vols have done on the Cohos, thank you! We did the trail over a few years as AMC day and backpack trips, and on own own with friends and had a blast. Great trail, great adventure! I'll post a few on the Cohos FB page, as I have joined that. Can you send the link to post in the "Cohos Trail Slide show"?
