I am interested in picking up a pair shoeshoes. I would not expect to use them that often. I only weigh 150 so I think I can get away with 25 inch as oppose to 30. REI has a sale on the tubbs 2004 adventure series. All my reading suggests that these are best used for recreation. Do you...

I think I saw a fisher on the top of Mt. Hurricane on Tuesday. Black body and tail, bigger than a domestic cat, I would say twenty plus pounds. Is this a common sighting, or can I be confusing the fisher with another animal?

Camping Actually, camping is allowed south of the intersection of Hurricane trail and Carriage road, which is where we camped.

Glencliff and Hurricane Trail Loop Great trip! We hiked up Glencliff Trail to Mt. Mossilauke Tuesday. A solid foot and half of snow on the upper part of Glencliff trail, but melting fast. The weather was great with a south wind. Views on top were excellent. We hiked down to the...

Did you go up Moosilauke? I am looking for a trail report today. I go up tomorrow night

I am going up Glenncliff tuesday night I would appreciate some feed back on trail conditions and whether or not we need snowshoes. thanks and have fun!

what are my camping options on Moosilauke? Am I limited to the shelters? Is there any available sights near hurricane mountain?

Thanks again Do you know anything about the river crossings on or around glencliff. From the map it looks like there are at least three. Do think that will be an issue with all the rain?

thanks everyone! Do you think that I will need snowshoes for this trip? Also, where do I fill up for water at the shelter? Lastly, how long do you think it should take to reach the summit from Glencliff? We will be spending two nights there, so I have some time.

A little help please. Dave, am thinking about a late night drive up to jeffers brook shelter next week. I would not pull in to glencliff trailhead until 1:00am. My thought was to crash in the shelter and start the real hike at dawn. Can you help me with a little more clear directions from...

Does anyone know how long freeze dried food should last? I have a Backpacker's pantry charlotte's raspberry blast with no expiration date. I don't believe they make it any more. Forgive the humor, but I don't want to be blasting anything on the trail.

Desolation Trail I have hiked this trail with full packs in the rain. No fun, but rewarding. I thought the black flies were going to carry me off the mountain.

Need some advice. I love the pemi. My buddy and I have covered the whole area and need a new location for a two night, possibly three night trip (more likely two nights in the woods with a 6:00am start time. In any event, we have also covered carter dome and Mt. Horn (like this area as well)...

I am planning a trip this July. Does anyone have any info on this place, including the northern traverse. I am thinking 6 days in the woods thanks, jim

Logging road Yes, the road will take you to a dirt road where you will see a few houses. There is an unbelievable house on the right as you come out of the woods. You simple follow the road up the hill and down to route 41. You will pass a business on the right. I know there is plenty of...
