From the Colebrook Chronicle Page 1: http://www.colebrookchronicle.com/Feb262016.pdf Congratulations, Guys!

Possibly, but maybe not. A high of 30 degrees, light winds, abundant sunshine, abundant undercast, excellent hiking conditions...does it get any better? We did not carry snowshoes nor crampons and we did not need them. We used our spikes door to door. Lots of people on these three high peaks...

A number of interesting items: Removal of Langdon shelter. No replacement. Moriah Brook bridge study Guyot Shelter repair/rehab along with removing structures from the Pemi Wilderness area Thoreau Falls bridge update Decommission New Path trail 1.4 miles along with new parking lot and trail...

On three separate days in October, June and I explored Piermont Mountain and its environs. What we discovered is that Piermont is one incredible mountain. The view from the summit itself is extraordinary. The ledges that make up this mountain are countless, beautiful and awe inspiring. The...

Mt. Jasper isn't the biggest of mountains (1,584'), doesn't have the longest trail (only .75m), isn't on any major list (though it is on some lists, I'm sure) but it is a lot of fun to hike and has some history dating back 9,000 years. I won't go into the historical significance of the mountain...

The weather in October in the White Mountains can always be fickle, especially above tree line. It can be 50 degrees with clear blue skies and calm winds or 10 degrees with heavy snow, whipped by 60 mile an hour winds. I was waiting for one of the former days and I got it. At noontime on the...

Back during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, an extremely large culvert was washed out on the East Branch Truck Road/Pemi East Side Trail about one mile in from Lincoln Woods. Hikers have been rock hopping the stream at this culvert ever since. The Forest Service decided they would replace the...

Some random summer shots from in and around the White Mountains as I watch the rain fall and the rain gauge quickly fills up with 3" so far. Sunrise over Middle Sugarloaf An old Indian Backpack Fire Pump. Triangulation Station. Bald Ledge was the former name of this peak. Norcross Pond...

Today, Friday July 31, Barbara Bloomberg finished redlining all the trails in the AMC White Mountain guidebook. Accompanied by a plethora of her friends, Barbara hiked her final 0.2 mile on the spur trail to South Peak off the Moosilauke Carriage Rd/Glencliff trails to complete her pursuit of...

I hiked out to Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge recently for the umpteenth time. About five miles or so to hit both Cherry Pond and Little Cherry Pond. All the trails are in the AMC White Mountain Guide so some good redlining for those who have never been there. Lots of flying stuff.

The AMC has proposed to build a new full service hut in Crawford Notch. They will be holding informational sessions and also welcome your comments. Link: http://www.nhstateparks.org/whats-happening/news-events/press-release-details.aspx?newsid=40193

After last night's first thunder and lightning storm of the season, the first rainbow of the season appeared. And there was even a hint of a double rainbow. It's rainbow season!

I had a chance to spend some quality time with a couple of Gray Jay's on the summit of Mt. Isolation recently. Quality time indeed. John

Today, on May 24, 2015, Per Frost completed his grid (576: 48x12) on beautiful Mt. Jackson. Accompanied by his wife, Helle, his dogs Shamus and Cinilla, and a multitude of friends, the day was perfect for a grid finish, especially with no bugs to harass the hikers. An hours long tailgate was...

Just drove by Zealand Rd and it is open for the season. The WMNF website has also been updated with the news. The other roads most likely won't be too far behind.
