For over 20 years, the Ames in Seabrook, New Hampshire, has been abandoned as life goes on all around it. There's not a whole lot about why this Ames has been abandoned. The company filed for bankruptcy back in 2002, and that's when this location and all others closed. But for most of the locations, it has been replaced by something. But not in Seabrook, New Hampshire. And it's sad and spooky.

When it comes to epic hikes in New England, sometimes you have to be willing to travel. Not as far as an overnight...but certainly a 3+ hour drive. Take Mount Monadnock, the most climbed mountain in the world. If someone living around North Conway wanted to hike that, it would be nearly a 3-hour drive. For people in Boston, Massachusetts, wanting to hike Mount Washington, it is also a 3-hour drive...each way. To reach unique peaks and beautiful summits in New England, you have to be willing to drive.

We have all been there - at the "easy" hike your friend found on the internet. The only issue is...it is NOT easy, and you are now looking up at a massive mountain you did not prepare for. Picking out the RIGHT hiking trail is critical. Many inexperienced hikers (we all start somewhere) will Google a mountain they want to hike, or type in "easy hikes near XYZ" and go for whatever they see first. If you know the area or mountain you want to hike, I always suggest using the website AllTrails.

The Pine Tree State has a bunch of really good ones, too, including Moxie Falls in Forks, Step Falls in Newry, or Screw Auger Falls in North Oxford. Sure, you could hit those spots up, but you should also consider Angel Falls, a gorgeous hidden gem waterfall you can get to with a relatively short hike. Intrigued? We got you.
