Nice one Nate! This is on my "to do" list this summer as a day hike. Great photos, looks like you had perfect weather.

Nice, looks like the foliage couldn't have been any better. I may have to take a walk out that way towards the end of the week, thanks for the inspiration!

What a GREAT report! That is a superb itinerary, I would love to get into the GG for some camping.

Nice shots, I'm in need of a sunrise hike like this!

brobichaud and I did this very loop the opposite way as a day hike two weeks ago. As Maineman said the Moriah Brook trail is stunning! We could smell some campfires just before the suspension bridge (bounciest in the whites!) and saw many great backcountry camping sites.

Thanks for the replies, hope to get out there again real soon, a fun 3 days! Nothing like riding out a storm in a dry shelter :) The wind at Garfield camp was intense, especially with our Mid-tarp strung off a line tied between trees..we'll call it an "active" pitch.

The plan was set to do a clockwise Pemi loop with my brother and a friend a couple months ago and as the date neared the Lincoln Woods Trail closure began to loom over our itinerary. After talking with the Forest Service a couple times last week it looked like we wouldn't be affected and were...

I was out hiking the Pemi loop August 1-3 and wanted to give everyone an update. When I arrived back to the Lincoln Woods trailhead there was a new sign put up regarding the trail closure.. And the section of trail in question

Those are some beautiful photos and delicious looking blueberries, guess you had your fill! Too bad the WX didn't turn out better on Tuesday :( , even still you were gifted with some nice shots of Sun. I'll have to check out Grandpas section of trail next time I'm out there. Wierd about Knoll...

You can't wait on the weather, you'll be doing a lot of waiting and less hiking! Looks like you thoroughly enjoyed your trip, that's what it's all about.

Looks like you had a very fun trip despite all the rain. Great write up with some awesome pictures...and finger puppets:p

We were pretty lucky with the weather..no rain and not quite a scorcher! Nate, you doing a 3 day 2 night GNL starting the 26th right? Hope you get the same if not better weather for it! Some blueberries were found on SRWC, there are lots of bushes, but not quite ripe yet. That little hill we...

Day 2: After breaking camp and a quick breakfeast we were on the trail again just after 7AM. Hiking past Bull Run Campsite the trail got to be about as muddy as it could. We welcomed the steeper slopes of Old Speck as the trail was much drier and the views began to open up. We arrived at the...

A beautiful couple days in western Maine with very little bugs and managable mud. A friend and I hiked the western side of the Grafton Notch Loop Trail from South to North, stashing bikes at the A.T. parking lot on the northern end. Day 1: After dropping off bikes and parking the car, a short...
