When you are in the general area of the trail the bike path has small brook fairly close to the bike path on the left, if you glance across this little stream you will see an arch shaped (or more A shaped) tree that you could walk under. Cross the little stream here and head to the left at this...
I was one of the guys with a sled. Thanks to the break you gave us breaking trail we were able to make it to 1/4 mile from trail junction where we were passed by a group of three women who finished breaking trail to the summit. We did finally make the summit. Trail well packed out at 7:00pm...
Thanks for the great pictures
I was up the Jewell trail Sunday with my son and his family. Believe we passed you while you were feeding the babies. Glad to see some pictures of the day. Did not have a camera with me.
Great News
We were at the Sawer River parking area on friday night getting ready to hike in when we were informed of the recent break-ins at that parking spot...so we turned around and went elsewhere. Hope this arrest reduces the problem and these kids are made to pay.
Still will be shy about...
This is great
Thanks Ed for this great (to be continued...) trip report. I have just recently been introduced to the Belknap range (Whiteface & Piper) and am now anxious to get back there. Looking forward to your next installment.
Your story is my story

Great day to welcome Spring
Great to finally meet you guys (guy & dog) in person (& in dog?) along the Polecat. Lauky was heading in the right direction at this time. My son and I were completing our first round of NH48 4K's after about 18 months of starts and stops. I was worried it might be...
Great to have met your group at our tent site
Great photos of your journey...great to have met you with my son and granddaughter at our tent site below Washington...was the best of days
The road to the parking area had about 4" of new snow making it difficult to get up the hill to the parking area.
The Crawford Connector and Crawford path is hard packed all the way to Pierce.
Snowshoes useful for traction but probably not necessary.
Expensive trip down as I noticed my EMS camp...
Exped is by far the warmest
Have used the Big Agnes primaloft in the past...not bad but the Exped 9 with Down insulation actually feels like you have a heating pad under your sleeping bag...used it on Isolation at -10 a couple of weeks ago and had to remove my fleece layers I was overheating in...
