    Post-knee replacement hiking ?

    I also use a Bauerfeind brace, not only for the knee but also for the back. I agree about the comfort and stability.

    Good site!

    Thanks. That's good info. I have a feeling it may not be as bad as it feels. I can still walk, with a little bit of a limp. With a knee brace I am able to work my legs at the gym just no squats. With the same brace I can do cycling (Spinning). I find if I sit for long periods of time, like I...

    Good site!

    Hello - Been a member for a while but don't have much time to post. After spending some time in hell (Facebook) and leaving it, it's good to be reading hiking posts, trip reports and looking at hiking pics once again. Unfortunately, I don't get up to the Whites as often as I would like so I...

    Want to get paid to sit on top of a mountain?

    What a great retirement job this would be. I love Pittsburg and have always considered Magalloway to be one of the most underrated hikes in NH. Unfortunately I'm still a few years away from retiring.

He loves hiking and we've both done Tuckerman's Ravine many times along with a few other trails in the Joe Dodge Lodge area. He...

    New AMC Logo....a good or bad?

    Don't like it. Doesn't look like it has anything to do with the outdoors. The previous one was much better. I hope they go back to it.

    Is greeting other folks on trail with "Hi!" part of hiking etiquette?

    I say hello on the trails more than I do in the hallway at work. Being on the trails brings out the best in people.

    Tuckerman Ravine Trail?

    Greetings - Going hiking July 5th on the Tuckerman Ravine Trail. I usually hike it every year with my son but two years ago he had some problems with his feet (growth issue) and last year the bridges were out so we opted for Low's Bald Spot. Can I assume that the bridges are complete? I did...

    Just finished all NH 3000'ers

    Good job! Lot to be said for 3000K footers. Some have better views than many 4Ks.

    Too Old to Hike?

    I imagine that eventually most people grow too old for a lot of activities. With hiking I think as long as the person is in good physical shape and has a daily workout routine that some degree of hiking will always be reasonable for them. IMO, the individual's mental health should be more of a...

    Huntingtons Ravine Rescue Call

    I know a lot of you on this board are not fans of the AMC but I have always found the AMC staff at the Pinkham Notch Visitors Center to be helpful in this capacity.

    Lowe's Bald Spot Trail?

    Greetings - I am staying at the Joe Dodge Lodge on the 4th of July and would like to hike this trail with my 13 year-old son. He has hiking experience and has hiked Tuckerman's with me with no trouble. This year we would like to hike something different and I chose Lowe's Bald Spot. My...

    Hotel on Mt Washington??!!

    Presby said the hotel would include about 35 “well-appointed” rooms and a full-service restaurant that would cater to hikers and tourists alike. I've no doubt about the second group but I highly doubt it will cater to the first group. The only places to stay overnight on Mount Washington are...
