Yes the plan is to go over from South Crocker. Thank you everyone for the information.

I plan on hitting Redington too. Any issues with with my dog there? She is very agile and sure footed.

I am hiking the Crockers next week from CVR. My new dog will be with me. Are there any ladder or cliff sections I need to be concerned with regarding hiking with her?

When I did Owl's Head it was July with high water. I brought a pair of Teva sandals to wear when crossing the streams. On the way out, there was a couple, woman about 50 and the guy was in his sixties and they were at the second stream crossing. He had lost his boots, she lost her hiking...

Camped at the Log Cabin on the side of Adams several years ago and a young moose came by around at dusk every night and checked us out. Pretty cool. Just walked by the porch and looked at us out of the corner of his eye and then turned around in the trees and stared at us for a few minutes...

Wolfgang - Another amazing feat of endurance and will. Hope to see you again some time on a windy peak.

Can anyone advise on the current status of Success Pond Road and the access to its length from Berlin? How far can one drive a car? Is the Speck Pond Trail accessable from Berlin? Thanks and hike safe.:)

I felt the same way about the Buttress trail. Some others for solitude and steepness are, as mentioned before, the Ammo ravine trail, Six Husbands, Daniel Webster, Howker ridge Trail, my favorite short, steep and quiet is the trail up Mt Willey from the junction with the AT, and Wildcat at the...

My favorite is the Buttress Trail with full pack. You can replace tress with f---. :)

Field Tom and Willey are good peaks for dog and easy on older ones. Have done them three times with all my dogs over the past 20 years. I really like Willey the best. Very often there is no one but you and your dog and the wind. :)

Many Moose, once 12 in 10 days in the early Spring in 1990, two bears, one on the Imp Trail that took off like a four wheel drive up the side of the mountain, several Spruce Grouse up close, a young moose, up real close on the Zeeland trail in the Fall of 2007 who the German woman with me called...

Wolfgang, You are one amazing hiker. I had the pleasure to hike with you on the Twins in November of 2009. I really enjoyed your company, the conversation and the hike. Thanks too for the sponsorship to this wonderful forum. You are an inspiration to us all. There is life after 60!!! Hope...

Straight Up If memory serves,the original AT up Old Spec fromGrafton Notch was one mile of straight up trail and vey steep. If you can still find the trail. I has been 25 years since I was on that trail. And, there is always the Flume trail and Howker Ridge. Remember both as being strenuous...

One word, albeit overused - Awesome Climbed K and H in mid-September several years ago in fairly windy conditions via the Knife Edge and looped around H and down to the parking lot. A long day but Pamola and the chasm between it and K were incredible. Several thru-hikers on top. Was wiped...

Can anyone provide an up-date on the Willey Range conditions as of today or this week?:)
