Amy Baker Hiker Extraordinaire
Gary Moore
August 28, 2025
Amy Baker moved to the area 24 years ago and is known to many as a CPA with offices in Woodsville and Campton.
What many do not know is how dedicated a hiker she is and how she survived a near death experience on Mt. Washington. Of special interest to hikers like me is the extent of her hiking experience in places around the world we only dream of. She may be a dreamer, but she turns dreams into reality as listeners to WYKR’s Outdoor Edge learned last Thursday when she was my guest.
Not only has she hiked all the 48 New Hampshire 4,000 footers, she has also hiked many of the New England hundred highest.
Amy has summited Mt. Washington, the northeast’s highest peak, 43 times, the last just a month ago.
A few days before we did the WYKR program she again hiked my favorite, Mt. Moosilauke.
Her hiking started because a client from Wilderness Maps gave her some maps. She said, “I was living in Easton, a half mile from the Kinsman Ridge Trail, so New Years Day we took a map and decided to hike the Kinsmans. That day, 12 years ago, after 7 inches of fallen snow we started hiking. As difficult as it was, I fell in love with the beauty, as well as the challenge.”
Amy has hiked in Iceland three times and is going back in September. It was her first overseas hiking trip and she got hooked.
She said, “The Iceland trip changed my life. I was formerly a solo hiker. In Iceland she was with a group and enjoyed learning new cultures and making new friends, something she has continued to do on her many trips since.
There is much about Iceland she loves but she mentioned the waterfalls and volcanoes as being special.
In August of 2019, she trekked to the Mt. Everest base camp with a guide. She said is was monsoon season, a less popular time, and thus less crowded.
“In Spain, I trekked the Camino Rhonda. It starts where the Sword from Game of Thrones is in Spain.” She described the route as along the ancient Spanish forts of the coast. “I backpacked the nice lovely long miles to hotels each day.”
She did the Cinque de Terre in Italy which she described as, “too touristy.”
“I hiked randomly in Switzerland, but the highest achievement and endurance is Tour de Mont Blanc. You start in Chamonix France and hike to Switzerland to Italy, back to France.”
She said it was a group hike hut to hut and harder then Everest because of the ascents all day every day.
“The Rotina vincentina is the coastal hike along the coast of Portugal from Porto to Largo, 125 miles. It was my first hike without a guide. I met up with people and hiked with them from hostel to hostel. It was extremely difficult as you hike in deep sand for sometimes 10 miles a day. I did 45 miles barefoot and was called barefoot girl. It was very hot and difficult.”
She also climbed to the Dolomites in Italy from Slovenia. For that hike, she hired a National Geographic guide. It was her first rock climbing adventure.
Amy has hiked in Scotland which she describes as, “Nice but flat.”
This past spring her son, St. Johnsbury Academy class of 2022, was at his University of New Haven’s campus in Prato outside of Florence. “So after Easter with him I took the train to trek the Cinque de Terre.
After that hike, “I circled back to Rome to the Colloseum to view the Pope memorials. As the Pope died that very day. Imagine that! Unforgettable!”
When I first met Amy a few years ago I talked about her reputation as a fast hiker, one few could or wanted to keep up with. She acknowledged that was the case and that said, often she would be on her way back down from a summit when her friends were still on the way up.
That changed when she received a brain injury from a bike accident last year. She describes herself as more cautious and afraid of falling. Hiking slower now she advises, “Don’t rush, take it all in.”
She rushed to do the 48 as many do, not what she would recommend today.
Amy is older and wiser now and certainly experienced. One of those experiences could have been her last. I had heard about it when it happened and asked her to share the experience in hopes others would learn from it.
On January 10, 2018, she was on Mt. Washington when she encountered a white out and high winds causing her to lose the trail and end up in snow up to her shoulders.
She told me she hiked 1.5 miles down from Lakes of the Clouds climbing down through chin deep snow to get to tree line and set up in a clear spot so she could shine her mirror.
Amy was not sure she would make it out. She got into her bivy sack and struggled to keep moving doing pushups and tricep dips to circulate the blood and keep from becoming hypothermic from 3 p.m. to 4 a.m. She had two hats, one of which she put on her bare feet.
She turned her headlight on and off alternately blowing her whistle in the silence and the darkness with freezing rain pinging on her bivy. She said, “light meant life.”
“At 4 am I heard ‘Ann Baker’ called. They were down the cliff and had heard my whistle but could not get to me with all the snow. Tears fell, my feet stone cold hard, to walk, I didn’t correct my name.”
“With one hand as the tendon was cut in one finger from shivering cutting brush for fires and to put underneath me, I put my shoes back on and grabbed my things and climbed down the waist deep snow and cliff and brush and walked two miles out sinking to in knee deep snow. So tiring.”
She had been on the mountain 20 hours in brutal conditions.
On the summit during her most recent climb she paused at the list posted of those who had perished on Mt. Washington over the years.
She said, “The list of deaths really struck me. Very emotional for me.”
Because of the brain injury last year she did not know if she would be able to hike this year. She could and she has.
With her emotions high, she texted her father who lives in North Haverhill
that she made it.
We talked about being prepared to avoid getting in trouble as so often happens in the White Mountains, requiring others to risk their lives to search for the lost.
She emphasized the need to leave behind where you will be hiking and when you expect to be back so that if you are overdue, rescuers know where to start looking. Leave the plan at your vehicle as well as with someone whom you will let know when you are out.
She was emphatic, “Have an exit route, know other trails not just the one you found on line. I can’t emphasize enough, have a trip plan.”
Carry a map and compass and know how to use them. And water, plenty of water.
On her most recent Mt. Washington hike she met a couple who rode the Cog up and decided to walk down to the Lakes of the Clouds and got lost. She said they had no water and no idea of how to get down. She gave them water and directions.
It was just a couple weeks earlier that a man rode up on the Cog and wandered off the summit. Despite a search that began soon after he disappeared he was found dead the next day.
Her advice to people who want to start hiking, just do it.
“There is always one you can. Start with ’52 With A View’ before trying the 4,000 footers for example.”
Mt. Washington can be a goal but get in shape first and do shorter hikes to gain experience and learn your own strengths and weaknesses.
We talked about the lists of hikes to fire towers in Vermont and New Hampshire as well as those of waterfalls as a good place to start. There is so much to explore.
Amy will be off to Iceland and then hike in the Bavarian Alps from Austria to Germany mid September.
If you see her on the trail when she returns, look at her pack which has patches from around the world and will soon have more. One that attracts a lot of attention is the one for Everest Base Camp.
Mentor Someone New To Fishing Labor Day Weekend
Fish and Wildlife is asking those who normally spend time fishing to consider taking out a friend or family member in celebration of Vermont’s first ever “Free Mentored Fishing Weekend.”
If you love to fish this is a great opportunity to share the experience with someone who may well get hooked as you did.
The new annual opportunity was approved this past June as part of a package of updates to the state’s fish and wildlife laws.
This opportunity allows a licensed angler to take up to four unlicensed anglers aged 15 years or older to fish for free from Saturday, August 30, through Monday, September 1. Kids under 15 years old can already fish for free in Vermont. Free Mentored Fishing Weekend gives adults who have never fished, or have not fished since childhood, an easy and welcoming way to try the sport.
Free Mentored Fishing Weekend is different from Vermont’s longstanding summer and winter Free Fishing Days, which are geared towards families that already have some fishing savvy. This new opportunity is designed for adults who want to start fishing and need an experienced mentor to guide them.
“I really want to encourage experienced anglers to treat Vermont’s first Free Mentored Fishing Weekend as an opportunity to pay it forward,” said Jason Batchelder, Commissioner of Fish & Wildlife and a life-long angler. “For many of us who love the sport, mentoring new anglers is as much a part of our calling as exploring new waters or pursuing new species.”
For new anglers who are unsure how to connect with a mentor but still want to take advantage of Free Mentored Fishing Weekend, Vermont Fish & Wildlife will host a special edition of its popular “Fish with a Warden” program. Three free workshops will be held on Saturday, August 30, at 6 p.m. at Bomoseen, Little River, and Silver Lake State Parks. Interested anglers can register online at the department’s fishing events calendar.

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department and the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association will hold a High School Bass Fishing Seminar from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3 at Bass Pro Shops, 2 Commerce Drive in Hooksett. All student athletes, coaches, and athletic directors participating in high school bass fishing tournament activities are encouraged to attend. The event will feature presentations by local bass tournament anglers on topics ranging from fall bass-fishing techniques to tournament fishing tactics. All students attending will have an opportunity to receive complimentary tackle and baits.

With Vermont’s bear hunting season starting September 1, the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department reminds hunters that the sale of bear paws and internal organs of bears is prohibited.
“Vermont State Game Wardens have investigated cases where people from out of state have approached Vermont hunters to purchase bear paws and gallbladders which are valuable in Asian countries,” said Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jason Batchelder. “Until the law was changed last year, Vermont was one of the few states that still allowed the sale of bear paws and gall bladders that are re-sold on the black market.”
The meat of bear, deer or moose may be sold within Vermont during the open hunting season and for 20 days after the season ends. The meat may not be bought or sold to be transported out of the state.
A person may buy or sell the head, hide, hoofs, and antlers of legally taken deer or moose and the head and hide of legally taken black bears at any time.
***
Vermont’s resident Canada goose hunting season will be held September 1 through September 25 to help control Vermont’s resident Canada goose population prior to the arrival of Canada geese migrating south from Canada according to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.
The season will be open statewide with a daily bag limit of five Canada geese in the Connecticut River Zone and eight in the rest of Vermont.
A printable copy of migratory bird hunting regulations can be downloaded from the Vermont Fish and Wildlife website under “Hunt” – “Waterfowl.” A printed version is available from license agents and post offices.

Mark Breen reports in the Fairbanks Museum's Skywatch Almanac that on
August 27, 1989: “Early frost in Rochester at 28 degrees, Union Village 29 degrees.”
August 30, 1965: “Mt. Washington, NH measured its biggest August snowfall of 2.5 inches.”
Mark also supplied the August Records and Averages
Warmest: 71.7°F in 1937 Coldest: 60.4°F in 1903
Wettest: 9.06 inches in 2011 Driest: 0.93 inches in 2002
Parting Shots
Readers keep asking how Linda is doing and sending their good wishes. Her oncologist confirmed last week that she has stage 4 cancer. She will begin chemo Thursday. She is a fighter and will do whatever it takes.
Friday was our 55th anniversary. As Linda is definitely not feeling well and has to take all food and medicine through a tube in her stomach, I canceled our reservation for the Mountain View Grand in Jackson, NH which we made a year ago. We love the place and our favorite room that opens onto the broad porch where we sit in the rockers as the sun sets on the mountains to to the east.
We went to Randolph, VT and the Chandler Center for the Arts in the afternoon to see the exhibit, Jim Sardonis Natural Forms. Likely you have seen the Whales Tails along I-89 in South Burlington or just off the Randolph exit on Route 66.
Jim’s sculptures can be seen all around Vermont and in many other states and even foreign countries.
You may also know Jim as the lead singer in the band Second Wind.
He has been creating his art for a half century and the exhibit highlights much of that long career. It runs through September 13 and I highly recommend you make the drive to Randolph to view it.
