Congratulations to Dolores \u2014 Another NH Rail Trails Challenge Finisher!<\/h3>\n

Dolores biked, hiked, and walked her way across New Hampshire!<\/p>\n

Dolores of Loudon, NH earned her New Hampshire Rail Trails Challenge Patch by completing every trail on the Challenge list, using a combination of biking, hiking, and walking!<\/p>\n

She began her adventure May 30, 2020, in the Lakes Region, exploring the Lake Winnisquam Scenic Rail Trail<\/a> and the WOW Trail<\/a> (Winnipesaukee, Opechee, and Winnisquam), followed by the Winnipesaukee River Trail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the next six years, Dolores continued exploring rail trails throughout New Hampshire, discovering new places and enjoying the scenery and wildlife along the way.<\/p>\n

When asked about her most memorable experiences, Dolores shared:<\/p>\n

“Loved seeing sections of the state I had never seen. Seeing a momma bear and cub on the Cheshire Rail Trail!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Dolores completed her Challenge in the summer of 2026, checking off the Potanipo Rail Trail<\/a> and Rockingham Recreational Rail Trail<\/a> before reaching her grand finale on August 29, 2026, on the\u00a0Mason\u2013Greenville Rail Trail<\/a>!<\/p>\n
