Save the dates for the 2024 5 Hikes Challenge!

The 5 Hikes Challenge is designed for anyone, with 25+ different hiking and walking destinations for all abilities, interested in reaching new places and exploring unsung natural destinations in different regions throughout New Hampshire. 

Participants can choose five of the multiple hiking destinations from a selection of Forest Society Reservations, located in the Seacoast, Merrimack Valley, Monadnock, Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee, Lakes, or White Mountains and North Country regions. 

Each participant receives trail maps and directions, hiking tips, and information for their selected hikes in the mail. Registration fees support the continued stewardship of these beautiful places.
