Thank you everyone so much for the advice! I decided to go for it and book a walk-in tent site at Watchman. With only 3 1/2 days there, we definitely don't have enough time to do everything, but will make sure to check out Observation Point, Angels Landing, the Narrows (if conditions allow), and...

Not to copy Peakbagr's post, but similar request: my girlfriend and I are taking a trip to Zion National Park in mid-September, and would love any and all advice regarding recommended hikes, where to camp, weather that time of year, etc. Regarding hikes, the Narrows and Angels Landing seem...

Planning on doing an overnight monday night somewhere in the Whites. Just wondering what kind of temperatures I can expect during the night?? Trying not to freeze my little buns off...

at our camp, we make the campers wear lab glasses. eye's are protected, plus everyone looks rediculous. it's a win-win.

Welp, judging by the trail conditions page, it looks to be a little icy right now up in the Whites. I was planning to head out with two buddies tomorrow (Monday), equipped with one set of crampons, a pair of msr snowshoes, and a pair of atlas snowshoes. I was looking to tackle Cannon or Liberty...

my fault. thanks for the clarification. so about a month long, that's a nice sized thru hike. if someone was to do the LT in two segments, would it be safe to say that the lower half would be boring?? or does it have its own rewards??

okay so michelle finished in 25 days, lumberzac is looking to do it in 10. so how long should i assume it would take me, cause that's quite a big difference. i would categorize myself as a medium-fast hiker. thanks.

I ascended that Osceola slide as a summer hike. Hands down one of my most favorite hikes. It definitely makes it fun when the slide is 2 miles long.

yes. left-center is redrock brook. right-center is hellgate brook.

I agree with Sleeping Bear, nothing is more sick than campers. Try a 6 hour drive back to camp in a van after a five-day trip to Baxter State Park. STIIIIINKY!! Oh yeah, and it's always a bonus when one of them gets car-sick easily.

That all sounds good. Just keep the people warm and dry, and they'll seriously consider getting into the hobby. The colder they are, the more likely they'll be miserable and never look back at hiking again.

Potable Aqua?? Very light, takes twenty minutes, and tastes great ;)

Anyone had any experience with these boots? http://www.thenorthface.com/opencms/opencms/tnf/gear.jsp?site=NA&model=AYV4 Will these cut the the mustard in terms of winter hiking? What about winter overnights? I feel like plastic boots might be too hardcore for me, but I need something that keeps...

Does anyone know generally when EMS and REI sell off their rental snowshoes?? I'm assuming at the end of the winter season?

wow good thing i played that great game instead of doing all the work i need to do. at least it's easy to survive so i didn't get frustrated...

I'm pretty sure my Dad's a member of MOAC. He's been on a few trips with them and enjoys the company. I live in Maine but go to school in Boston, if you guys go for a few drinks lemme know I might be in Maine at the time.

Wow. Looks very interesting. I didn't read much on that website, but isn't it just more fun to allow your dog to run amock as you freely hike?

That's exactly where my friend and I spotted one as well. We had hiked out of Nauman and go to the parking lot around 7:30-8:00 PM. Lucky for us a car going the opposite way flashed us. We were confused at first, then I told my friend to slow down because it might be a moose. Sure enough he...

When we take the campers out hiking in the summer, we always use tarps rather than tents, aka floorless and wall-less. Never had to worry about critters sharing a sleeping bag with me, although bugs obviously will be a problem if your one to be really bothered by them.

Well I'm rediculously tired and a little drunk, so we'll see how my first post on the trip reports goes... Started hiking into Nauman at around 11:00 PM Friday night. Got to Mizpah around 1:00 and saw that it looks VERY freaky abandoned in the dark. Headed over and found the only other platform...
