    Great Traverse - Dog Friendly?

    well, appreciate the info for sure you may have saved our weekend. I hope I can find him a spot somewhere here. He's been blackballed from more than one kennel because of his ability to escape and damage caused by doing so. ie, pulled tethers out of concrete walls, broken down kennel doors...

    Great Traverse - Dog Friendly?

    thanks Yep, was just doing a bit more googling on some of the trails, and I was wondering about ME, not to mention the dog (I am not a big fan of exposure) The ladders I saw would probably not be an issue for him, and the cabled section - I can't tell from photos but I think he could do that...

    Great Traverse - Dog Friendly?

    We're planning a great traverse this coming weekend (weather looks good so far!). We had planned to bring our dog, who has done alot of hiking in the Whites - including a Prezi traverse, and 3 Pemi Loops, and the Grafton trail loop up in Maine. Is there anything on the Great Traverse that...

    Grafton Trail Loop - Dog Friendly?

    Thanks, exactly what I needed to know Hi Mike, Great trip report... let's me know what we're in for, and most especially that it looks like Tucker will have no issues. We're doing the whole loop fast packing, in one day, so would hate to get 3/4 of the way around and have to turn around and...

    Grafton Trail Loop - Dog Friendly?

    We're planning a hike of the Grafton Trail Loop in the Mahoosics this coming weekend. One trip report we read spoke of some metal rungs installed on a vertical piece of ledge. Friends who have hiked the trail before do not remember such a ladder. We would like to bring our dog, who is...

    Great Gully Trail and King Ravine Trail?

    thanks for the feedback everybody Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and give some alternate routes. As it turned out, we were in the middle of ascending Huntington's when that nasty hail storm hit, and by the time we got to Washington summit, a few in the bunch were getting...

    Great Gully Trail and King Ravine Trail?

    Great Gully Thanks. it's all good to know from folks who have been there... Our hike will have us reaching that point after quite a few miles already so I'm not looking forward to that part! Maybe I'm just a wimp, but I like to know what I'm going to face.

    Great Gully Trail and King Ravine Trail?

    thanks Thanks Mike, What I could see of KRT at the top from Airline didn't look bad.. description of Great Gully says something about a narrow ledge under an overhand with sheer drop offs on one side, and some people crawl on their bellies... I'm not much for "exposure" so wondered if it's...

    Great Gully Trail and King Ravine Trail?

    Okay, I'm reading the trail descriptions of these two, and it has me just a bit freaked out. We are due to do a long hike next weekend, including DESCENTS of Great Gully.. not sure if we will join King Ravine trail or not, but downhill...... not the recommended direction I hear. How tricky are...

    Team Dom attempts Denali May 21 - June 10th

    Alive is good! Thanks so much for the update! I've been sitting here waiting and wondering, and hoping all was well. Things must have been very sketchy, and I'm glad they all made the wise decision and are now safely down lower. Can't wait to hear the whole story. We've been cheering the team...

    Garfield #48 - August 13th

    Congrats, Hiker Bob, from the "runners"... Way to go, HikerBob! We knew you could do it! (but sorry about the balloon!) ;) We felt fortunate to meet up with Bob coming out of Lincoln Woods as he started on his final summit (for THIS list, anyway).. and then again just below the summit of...

    Mt Sneffels, CO

    It's a small world. I logged in here to read Cruddy Toes and Stinky Feet's trip report, and saw this thread. We just returned from the San Juans. They are the best. Never made it to Sneffels, but did see it from across Governor's Basin from the ridge on Virginius Pass, where we played around...

    Jackson/Pierce/Eisenhower/Monroe/Isolation: 12-29

    keep it up! Hey guys, great going. don't envy those water crossings, though. We had to wade through one (yeah, just ONE) down here in our neck of the woods, and it was a little too refreshing for my taste! We're still thinking of coming up later in the week.... fluffy....
