This weekend I met up with a couple buds for some Catskills Peakbagging. While it was still winter, it certainly did not feel anything like winter. Crazypace and I hiked up to Giant Ledge last Thursday night in tshirts. It was atleast 50 degrees at the start of the hike at 11pm that night. We...

Is it possible to hike from Big Indian, off the Pine Hill West Br Trail to Fir Mountain? Or do you have to continue south on the PHW to Biscut Brook and bushwack up from there? It looks like there is a potential route on the ridge between Fir and Big Indian (Delaware/Hudson divide), but the...

The forecast was looking cold and extremely windy with a wind chill that could bite your head off. We knew going in that the snow, if any, would be nil at best. I met Crazypace around 530pm Friday night and we were on the road by 630. We made decent time getting there inspite of the ski traffic...

No snow in the Catskills right now? I'm planning on going there this weekend and doing the Blackheads, Windham HP and probably Kaaterskill HP. From what I understand, there is no snow at all in the Catskills except for on the tops of the mountains. This winter is crazy.

We all met at the trailhead around 7am. My brother and I got there at around 5 and we arrived in time to catch an amazing display of Northern Lights illuminating up the sky. There wasn't much snow down in the valley, so we all decided that we'd most likely be ok with out crampons, so they...

day 1 (thursday) Phantom Soul (Castanza Hiker) met me at my office in York, PA and we headed west to I-81 and then south. Near Johnson City, TN we got on I-26 and crossed the Unaka Mountains. It was dark and we couldn't see anything but it looked like a pretty cool road. Brand new too. Sam's...

With my friend Matt (trailname: Bison) I dayhiked the Brown Mtn/Rocky Mtn Run loop in Shenandoah today. It was an awesome hike and seeing the bear was the icing on the top of the icing on the cake. The weather was great, another beautiful sunny day and the Autumn colors were more prevelant than...
