Although there is only one “true” national park in New England, there are also lots of other National Park Service sites in the Northeast. The Park Service itself regularly refers to its 420+ units as “national parks”, which is why I’ll also use that term broadly throughout this post. Besides Acadia National Park, one of...

After our hike to the summits of Mount Webster and Mount Jackson, we spent the night in a motel in North Conway. The next day, we’d planned to bag two more 4,000-footers, Mount Osceola and East Osceola.
