Seven hikers went up Mount Chocorua in Tamworth, New Hampshire over the weekend. Each one of them came down the mountain with hypothermia after they got lost and called conservation officers in the Granite State to rescue them.

Though beginner hikers have options to explore Granite State trails with snow on the ground. When hiking in the colder months, making sure to wear the correct protective clothing, such as hats, gloves and warm jackets, is important. Also, starting hikes earlier in the day will provide a better experience, with the limited daylight we see in the winter months.
