Faithful Steps: Hiking New Hampshire's 48. A White Mountain Pilgrimage

More Than a Hiking Story. A Journey of Faith. At sixty-five, most people slow down. Ken Hodgson laced up his boots. With a bold goal and a willing heart, he set out to climb all forty-eight of New Hampshire’s 4,000-foot peaks in a single year. It would be a year of steep trails, unpredictable weather, pre-dawn starts, and long, weary miles. But the real climb wasn’t the mountains. It was perseverance. It was trust. It was surrender. Step by step, the wilderness became God’s classroom, teaching Ken that it’s never too late for new beginnings—and that the hardest trails often lead to the deepest faith. Faithful Steps is more than an outdoor adventure. It’s a stirring testimony of courage, creation’s beauty, and the surprising places God leads when we dare to follow. Whether you’re a hiker, a dreamer, or you’re standing at the edge of your next chapter, this story will inspire you to lace up your boots and take your own faithful steps toward the heights God has prepared for you.
