What's the snow status further south in the Whites? Was thinking the Pemi or Sandwich Range wilderness areas. Going with a friend and would rather avoid to much snow.
thanks!
Some friends are looking to do the traverse over Waumbek and Cabot this weekend, spending the night at the Cabot Cabin. We're not sure what the conditions are like, and I'm a bit wary of this attempt given the hours of light in the day and the 15mi trek for a first day to the cabin from Starr...
DayTrip,
Did you go up yet? Some friends are discussing trying to do the Waumbek/Cabot traverse this weekend, and I'm wondering how the conditions are in the area?
I'm looking to do an overnight of the loop around Isolation starting at Crawford Notch, heading up Davis Path up to Isolation then around and down the (old?) location of Rocky Branch Shelter #2 then down Rocky Branch Trail to Shelter #1 and over Stairs Col Trail to get back to the car.
I've...
Hello all!
I had plans to through hike the Rangeley High Peaks over 3 days with a day hike of the 4000's in Bigelow the following day, with help from a friend in Portland who was going to provide shuttle service for me. However a recent event in his family has forced him out of being able to...
I've done a fair amount of hiking in VT and NH and am slowly making my way into the Adirondacks. Some friends and I are thinking of doing a section of the Northville-Placid trail over Memorial Weekend and so we are wondering how the black fly experience is in comparison to what we are "used to"...
Thanks! I'll get in touch with the Trail Angels.
We're doing it over three days, so the timing isn't as much of a concern. We'd be looking to park the car at the southern end Friday morning, then get a ride to the Northern end, or we'd park at our start at the North and be looking for a ride...
Yea, it's not soo bad out here. I mean I live in Boston with my dog in an apartment, and I've stayed in cheap motels around here with minimal dog fee. But the AMC is notoriously bad about it, but they love kids! (kids = big $$$). What's sad is when others so-called "service dogs" cause chaos in...
so the AMC, god bless them, hates dogs, so their shuttle service is out of the question.
My friend from Slovenia who is visiting our fine New England area, and I are trying to plan to do the Presi traverse. So I'm looking for some help in being able to park my car at one end and get a ride...
I've done more in the past, but have a loose group of hiking friends so these days I'm always going up with at least one or two other people, which is a nice way to catch up.
Having used one once to "nap" for ~6hrs at 3am on a long return drive without being bothered by anyone I don't think if you decided to sleep in your car for a night in one it would be an issue. I know you are allowed to park in the lot for up to 21 days without moving your vehicle. I imagine if...
First Post!

With some new hiking friends and some old hiking buddies. Arrived at the trail parking lot around 9am and quickly made our way up. The trail was mostly packed snow with a few inches of fluffy white stuff everywhere else. A few spots of thick ice that was easily...
