How soon is Success Pond Road passable after it snows? I didn't get out there in December and am hoping to do Goose Eye via the Goose Eye Trail this Saturday. I know it'll be a lot of trail breaking but my concern is whether the road will be passable or not. Thanks in advance for the help!!

Stellar days don’t come along too often and we were fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. We decided to hike Liberty and Flume with Mike – that would afford us fantastic views and allow us to finish at a reasonable time. We parked on the northbound Basin Parking lot…Mike...

What is the current condition of CVR and the road to Abraham? Are they still drivable or do we need to ski in?

Thanks to HuiYeng (7summits)…this was the jingle that went through my head from Franconia Ridge until we reached Jen’s car at Lincoln Woods after completing the loop in a day. Here’s how it started – HuiYeng wanted to do the Pemi Loop at some point this summer and Saturday the 8th looked like...

Several months ago, 7summits (HuiYeng) had read about the Katahdin summit sign replacement on the MATC website and asked if I’d be interested. She contacted, Lester, who was heading up the effort and signed us up. In addition to helping with the sign replacement, we decided that we wanted to...

7summits (HuiYeng) and I had been planning a 4 day peakpagging weekend in the Rangeley-Stratton area of Maine for the July 4th weekend since wintertime. We managed to recruit Juniper (Rebecca), Fat Tuesday (Mardi) and Nif (Jen) to join us. Our plan fell to pieces when two weekends of hiking in...

The Crew: HuiYeng (7summits), Rebecca (Juniper), Jen (Nif), Mardi (Fat Tuesday) and Gillian The Plan: Meet at the Piper TH at 10:30 The weather forecast was calling for rain in the late afternoon. On the drive up to the trailhead, the summit was hidden in the clouds. We didn’t think that...

The plan – hike the Grafton Loop (now known as Moose Poop Loop) counterclockwise in three days starting at the Grafton Notch A.T. parking lot. We planned on meeting Ferrisjrf (Jason) and Unfrozencaveman (Steve) on the summit of Old Speck after their completion of the Mahoosucs traverse. The...

Grafton Notch to Old Speck - the trail is fairly dry with only a few short patches of snow. Old Speck to Sunday River Whitecap - dry with the exception of one boggy area about .5 miles past the Old Speck summit. This section of trail doesn't look like it's travelled very often. Sunday River...

Let me just start by saying…I’m sorry for not sending out a last minute e-mail about my finish but this was really a sneak attack on Jefferson. So…here’s how the plan started. 7summits (HuiYeng) and I wanted to climb something that didn’t require being roped up (since I have YET to acquire...

HuiYeng and I were looking to hike something on Saturday. We were leaning towards the Wildcats until we heard that Jen was looking for something to do. The thought was to do something fairly short so we didn’t have to get up at the crack of dawn and we could finish before dark. We decided on...

I was 7 peaks away from finishing the NH48 and had already set a date in November to finish. I wasn’t sure if I’d have to travel for work between now – which could potentially impact this plan. On Wednesday night, I checked the weather and the weekend looked gorgeous so I decided to take...

My original plan was to hike from Jefferson to Jackson…well that didn’t happen. I was tired from the Twins to Garfield hike and I was still jet lagged. I had considered just doing something short but eventually decided on Jackson to Ike. I went out for a leisurely breakfast with Dave Bear...
