Trailhead is always accessible

You could look into the Ossipee Range. The Ossipee 10 can offer you hikes up to and over 10 miles. Very cool area with old tote roads, well beaten trails, not so well beaten trails that require at least some route finding. Most of the trails are accessed from the central hub known as the Castle...

The Lincoln trail is the route one of my friends uses and loves, it's longer than the other routes, but she swears it's a great route. Right now it's still a mess. I climb up the other side year round and it "opens up" faster condition wise and is doable with little issues as of right now. The...

Me and my dog do it fairly often since it's pretty close to where we live. Myself, off and on for quite a few years, a wonderful little mountain that I particularly enjoy in the winter.

Hey, I noticed you live in Goffstown, I do as well. Me and my dog train on the Uncanoonics, you want to join us for a hike sometime let me know. We typically climb them in the morning.

Located within the green banner at the top of the home page, click on the i, it's the first selection in the drop-down menu.

In my experience, the best source for "up to date" road information is Trailsnh.com, NOT the Forest Service which is very late in updating their site, at least in the past.

AS of a few days ago, the road is still closed. It never opens in April, they let the road dry out and settle from the winter or it would suffer from the heavy traffic.

Trying to find some snow free routes and Mt. Israel did the trick. It's a nice hike up the Wentworth trail, nothing challenging, just a pleasant hike. I enjoy the section of trail up on the ridge, the way it meanders along to the summit as if not in any hurry. Went down to the summit ledge as...

I'm sure it will open soon, the Horton center has got to be itching to prep for the summer.

Thanks Daytrip, I did order the map, I always have a map of where I am. I have talked to Tim and he has shared some of his data on the trail. I plan on doing the trail during one of my vacations just to mix up my Northern hikes a bit. Appreciate the helpful beta.

I have someone to joining me, so we plan on car spotting to do a proper section hike. My only question and it may be over thinking on my part is this. The first section clocks in at about 9.1 miles, just based on the highway locations. I'm assuming this is a fairly doable 9.1 miles?

In my effort to take an occasional break from the current conditions up North, I once again ventured into Massachusetts. I did Mt. Watatic and I have to say, not a bad summit, but the trails are eroded and beat to Hell. You can tell it's a tourist mountain, the walk arounds avoiding the mud are...

There are two reasons I have never gone to Acadia. One, it's got way to many people for me, I don't care how pretty it is. Two, the hikes are too short, there is nothing substantial there, if you have children it would make a nice trip, because your probably used to being with thousands of...

It's still steep and rutted to a degree, but really isn't that bad considering the slope. You are correct, it goes straight up, but the deep ruts you mentioned have been reclaimed by the forest, as the trail has a fairly decent footbed. They put in a new Kiosk last year as well, right at the...
