Course Title: Hiking New Hampshire’s 48 4,000-Footers (Fall Term 2022)

Exceeded my expectations. The videos were very informative, putting me on the trail, and seeing some of the views from the mountain tops. The lectures also provided useful information on the AMC cabins, trail safety and conditions of the trails.

Pete knew the subject matter inside and out.
