Some folks call outdoor experiences “play.” If “play” is defined as the choice made to take a course of action based on the rewards of participation and getting a perspective that can only come from ‘doing,’ then outdoor adventures are play. Many adults and children do not play enough.

Hiking Sunapee Mountain on Andrew Brook Trail to Lake Solitude


Hiking Sunapee Mountain on Andrew Brook Trail to Lake Solitude and its Overlook is a 4.8-mile out and back trail in Newbury, New Hampshire. 

When six friends from the Outdoor Recreation for Seniors (ORFS) group met on November 10, at 10 am on the Andrew Brook trailhead on Mountain Road, Newbury, NH, the temperature was near 20 degrees, light snow was on the ground. Ice was present the entire trail, and the hike would require crossing Andrew Brook many times, picking steps on half-submerged rocks missing those covered with snow and ice.


Lake Solitude, Newbury, NH. 




The hike is usually rated as moderate. I rate this day’s hike as difficult.  Some may rate it as foolish

Our round-trip time was five hours.
