I would honestly rather people take the lower effort option if it’s the most appropriate one for their experience, fitness level, or family unit. Not that there’s not a middle ground, but I know a lot of us are internally shrieking reading the “Flatlander family drags 4 year old in crocs up Mt. Washington in hailstorm with 80 mph gusts” type callouts.

I “downgraded” to Artist’s Bluff (+ Bald Mountain, which was stunning) for the first time this summer as a solstice sunrise hike because I had some health issues and can definitely see the appeal.

I’m not trying to hate, I’ve just seen a lot of artists bluff photos, when their are so many better views and hikes around the area, I can’t help but think people choose the easy route for that easy fall photo to put on social media and get likes for, it’s weird, it’s cringy, and honestly it’s an overused view. Not worth a like an upvote or a retweet IMO not being a hater just being open to how I perceive this photo and the ensuing photos of the bluff. Haters gon’ hate

Sounds good man. Me and my 4 year old had a blast hiking it this Saturday morning. Not too many other spots with a view like that where a 4 year old can climb up all by himself. Unless I haven’t heard about them. 🤷‍♂️ There’s always that one person hating and that is you my friend. .. Beautiful Saturday 👍🏻
