David Kotz: Hiking and skiing

I like to hike and ski, especially in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, especially with my kids. Many of my more recent hikes will appear in my travel blog.

On August 24, 1996, I finally finished hiking all 48 of the peaks over 4000' in the Whites, on Wildcat A.

Below is a neat panoramic photo from the summit of Bondcliff, in the White Mountains of NH, taken August 28, 2010. Click on the photo to see it at full size, and scroll left and right to see it all!
