Date of Hike: February 1, 2014 Trail Conditions: Starting out: 2-3" of powder on hardpack/ice, gradually increasing to 6" at the summit. All of the ice was snow-covered but foot traffic yesterday exposed some of it as the day wore on, particularly so on the steep sections of the Kilkenny. The...

Date of Hike 9/20/2013 We had two cars so we could make a loop. Left a car at the N Twin TH and started at Gale River TH. Gale River Trail to Garfield Ridge - relocated section of trail avoids both crossings but is a bit of a muddy slog. The footing is OK just mud, mud, mud. There is a sign...

Trail packed out from Kanc Trailhead to Middle Tripyramid - Sabbaday, Scaur Ridge, Tripyramid beyond Middle Tri and to North Tri slide unbroken after this week's snowfall. 12" of cement like snow below 2500' then 12-15" of new powder above. All of this over a firm base. 10 open stream crossings...

View from Iron Mountain Road in Jackson (at Iron Mountain TH) looking northward towards Washington, Wlidcats, etc. Views from Isolation Views of Bonds, Hale, Carrigain Notch from Whitewall sorry for the poor quality photo but you get the idea.

Thanks This looks like a go. Abby and the two of us are looking forward to it. Many thanks.

We want to do some red lining and climb/descend Moosilauke via Beaver Brook Trail - have read about the steepness, ladders, of the lower section. Has anyone done this with a dog?

The group was too large to be in the great gulf wilderness but hey, they were a bunch of teens/kids and it's good to see kids getting outside. Now Abby is used to seeing people on skis; she's also very protective of me when I'm alone with her but we're working on her trail manners.

Hi I met you on your way up OJR that day I was the one hiking with my dog Abby a 26 lb red-tan and white aussie mix. Glad you enjoyed the trip. We enjoyed our day.

about 5-6" in Jackson village. Enough for JXN XC to groom the village trails.:)

Date of Hike: 10/09/10 Trails: Lambert Ridge (AT) and Ranger Trails Trail Conditions: Lambert: a section of the AT - very well maintained - no blowdowns - some mud but easily stepped around. Awesome views and a very scenic and easy trail. Ranger Trail: Poor footing and wet. Recommended by...

Carrigain via Signal Ridge, Carrigain Notch, Desolation, Signal Ridge Date of Hike: 9/5/10 Trail Conditions: All trails dry, except a few muddy sections on the Carrigain Notch Trail. Desolation, though relentlessly steep was easier than I remembered because of dry conditions. Stream crossings...
