The Sandwich Range is a really interesting and diverse area. When our kids got a little bigger and we decided to really get back into mountain day trips, we started small & local with the Sandwich Range -- which also lacks the crowded trails of some of the more popular White Mountain peaks.

Anyway, the area around Doublehead Mountain is LOADED with moose and bear.

Some interesting shots from a few years ago...

Bear tracks in the sand:

And look at the height of this moose rub (my wife, pictured, is about 5' 4")...

We also saw some large turkeys up there.
