Kilkenny Ridge Trail seems to be under-utilized this winter. Little bit of unconsolidated powder on top of an mostly unconsolidated base. Snowshoes probably a good idea. The Terrace Range was impressive, as always.

It's that time of the year again. For this incarnation of the "all the Belknaps in a day" thing, Farmer and I chose to add a little mileage and elevation, in order to get more time on the Quarry Trail (and in turn, add the bump known as East Quarry). So it went like this: Major, Straightback...

Where can I get the best donuts in the Adirondack region? All suggestions/comments would be appreciated. :)

Saturday: Big Ball, Flagg, Shaw, Faraway, Roberts The first part of the day couldn’t have been more different than the second part. From the Fields Brook trailhead, over to McDuffee Rd, and then back up over Flagg and onto Shaw…pretty much all new single-track with tons of rock and tricky...

Anybody ever used these Bac Pac things? They're apparently available at the Lincoln Woods Vistor Center, according to this sign I saw in a privy at the Franconia Brook campsite. Wu says he uses them as dietary supplements to help aid digestion, but I find that claim somewhat dubious...since...

We got to the top of Dickey at about 11:30AM. The weather was good. There were no leaves on the trees. Tecumseh looked so close. We headed that way. Lots of open ledge if you stayed up high. Lots of open woods down low. Even some old logging roads to screw around on, when the woods weren't...

That's the amount of time between 5:23 AM on March 10, 2010; and 10:25 AM on March 18, 2010. And it also happens to be how long it took Stinkyfeet to hike her latest complete round of the 48. On day 1, she started out up Valley Way towards Madison....______...and it was easy going until she had...

...or, The Osceolas, 2/27/10 We saw that snow totals seemed to be pretty high near Kancamagus Pass, so Ryan decided the area had to be explored. The initial thought was to see if we could manage the Osceolas and Hancocks on Saturday. After slogging up North Twin on Friday afternoon, though, I...

All of the 48 are broken out. Trail conditions are good.

We thought that more people would’ve been out this past weekend, what with the nice weather, beautiful snow, and all. But then we got to Lincoln Woods Monday morning. It didn’t take long before we remembered that it was not yet December 21…and thus most trails remained unbroken. Osseo appeared...

Up Falling Waters, and onto the ridge. Across the ridge, and down Greenleaf, where Ryan checked out some mixed lines in Eagle Pass. Up Kinsman Ridge, down Hi-Cannon (it was getting dark; no picture from Hi-Cannon). Plenty of snow all day, except the north side of Cannon.

9/04: Katahdin 9/05: Traveler Loop 9/06: Wassataquoik Lake 9/07: South Turner Gillian and I drove up Thursday night and stayed at a tent site at Big Moose Inn. Tried somewhat unsuccessfully to sleep through the early morning sounds of logging trucks speeding by on the Golden Road. We met Mardi...

…or Mud, Sweat, and Bear (cans). Day 1: Rob and I backpacked into Slide Brook lean-to from Elk Lake with a 12 pack. Drank. Slept. Day 2: The Dix Range via Macomb Slide. Rained hard from East Dix to Dix. Packed up camp. Headed to Panther Gorge, where we slept under our tarp. Day 3: Skylight...

Anyone have any recent beta on the current situation at the Gorham terminus of the Mahoosuc Trail? This thread from November is the last info I've got. I assume the trestle being discussed is located at 44.402499, -71.198637 I guess my specific questions are: Where the hell do you park, and...

Myself, Courtney, Gillian, Hui Yeng, Jay H, Dave H (and his better half, “the NYC Gillian”), Steve (AKA Dunbar on ADK High Peaks) This is going to be an abridged version, with the full report to come later, from other part(s) of the group…but I wanted to get the basics down, before I forgot...

Hui Yeng and I met at Upper Works pretty late Friday night, and spotted a car there, before heading down to the “Allen trailhead”. We knew we had a little time to kill before Marc and Gillian would arrive, so we spent our time getting hydrated and acting as temporary interpretive guides for the...

OK. So I'm on Amazon today, looking for some of the more obscure Waits stuff that's out there. I get the "Customers who viewed 'this' also viewed..." message, and what pops up? The AMC White Mountains Guide, 28th Edition. I'm thinking that some of the people doing these searches must be VFTT...
