About the author

Ellen Kolb at South Pond Recreation Area, Stark, New Hampshire — _{Ellen Kolb, the Granite State Walker.}

I’m Ellen Kolb, and I walk and blog throughout the most beautiful state in New England. I took all photos in Granite State Walker except for those otherwise attributed.

Welcome to southern New Hampshire. Whether you’re looking for a quick walk on your lunch break or an all-day mountain hike, it’s all here. State parks, city parks, rail trails: I’ve been sharing them with readers since 2006. Get out there and enjoy!
