Thanks everybody for the responses and insight. The Imp Shelter site was pretty quiet this past weekend. Tent platforms full but nobody in the shelter. My next stop will be Guyot for fourth of July. I spoke with a caretaker last year and he mentioned that there were 88 people at Guyot last 4th...

I am looking to stay at the Imp Campsite this weekend. Can anyone tell me how popular/busy this gets? Expanding on that question, what are the most popular campsites in the Whites? Can anyone rank them, from most to least used? This obviously isn't an exact science, but in planning backpacking...

I have a Suunto Core, it works great. Typically within 50' at the peak, and often closer.

Thanks everyone, this was helpful!

I know this is not a northeast US related post, but I figured that VFTT would be a great place to tap into the knowledge of its members regarding hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro. My main question is: What company should I book through? I am looking to do a trip including Kilimanjaro, a safari, and...

Looking for a half day hike (8-12 miles) in the Belknap range, not including Mt. Major. I don't know much about the range, but good views would be nice, and we will only have 1 car, so a "loop" hike would be nice. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

I don't think the Madison Hut will be open for use. I believe only the Carter, Zealand and Lonesome lake huts are open at that time, and they are all self service. Hiking N. Twin, S. Twin, Zealand on day one (11.7 mi), overnight at Zealand Falls Hut, Hike out Mt Hale on day two (4.9 miles)...

Is there a way to use these with a smartphone, for turn by turn navigation?

What a great day it was for that hike, I'm glad you got to enjoy it as well. That bike path seemed to go on forever. I was started to feel it at that point. Penny seemed to get her second wind then. It always surprises/impresses me how well she can handle long arduous hikes for such a big pup...

If I hike any of the NH-48 in the winter, can I count those peaks for both the NH-48 list, and the winter NH-48 list? Or do I need summit each peak twice for both lists to count? Thanks!

Size large, if it fits and you find it, my negligence could be your treasure!

Thanks! I will be sure to reach out to him.

I have been hiking in the Whites for the last couple years with my (now 2.5 yo) Newfoundland dog. She does great on day hikes and single night backpacking trips, but I am interested in starting to do some longer trips (4+ days). Does anyone have any experience doing long hikes like this with a...
