A free series of fall foliage hikes is planned across New Hampshire in the coming weeks

Following the leaves as they turn color from north to south in New Hampshire, the Five Easy Hikes series will catch the early reds of turning maples in Bethlehem, take in a full-moon hike near Lake Sunapee, catch the breathtaking views over Lake Winnipesaukee in Alton, explore a less-traveled trail on Mount Monadnock in Jaffrey and end with a pre-Halloween visit to a property some believe to be haunted in Chesterfield.

The Five Easy Hike fall series is sponsored by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and WMUR. They are all free.

Reservations are required by calling 224-9945 or by going to event registration.

The first hike in the series is planned for Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Rocks Estate in Bethlehem. The foliage usually turns color first in the north of the state and the series is designed to follow the peak foliage from north to south.

The first hike will allow for an early glimpse at the foliage, set against the White Mountains. The views from the sprawling fields of this historic estate are magnificent in late September and the days are often warm.
