    Mount Jefferson, 2/23/19

    Via Jewell and Gulfside. Jewell is broken but soft, snowshoes are still essential. We switched to spikes above treeline. Three people, one dog, an outstanding day all around! A full screen slide show of the above shots can be seen here. Thank you for looking, Jonathan

    Mount Madison, 12/1/18

    The Observatory's Higher Summits Forecast called for a good day for hiking, including "partial undercast early." On that particular detail, they underpromised and overdelivered! :D A magnificent day to be up high. Slideshow on Zenfolio (14 images) Jonathan

    Baxter and Hamlin Peaks 10-6-18/Columbus Day weekend in Baxter

    Thanks to all for the kind comments! Much appreciated. =) Amicus, I absolutely agree about Doubletop. It's a spectacular hike, particularly at this time of year. We last did it in October 2015. Our original plan for this year had been to hike it on Sunday, the day after doing Katahdin, but...

    Baxter and Hamlin Peaks 10-6-18/Columbus Day weekend in Baxter

    If I didn't have to work for a living, I would spend most of late September and early October in Baxter State Park, every year, as long as I'm on the right side of the daisies. While I'm not able to do that (yet), I still feel very fortunate to be able to make at least one trip there every...

    Thanks for the kind comments! Mud was not an issue, there was still plenty of snow left even at lower elevations.

    A spectacular bluebird day, not a cloud in the sky! We were glad we brought our snowshoes.

    Mount Madison 11/18/17, up Brookbank/Brookside/Watson Path, down Valley Way

    Our ascent and descent routes had been cleared of blowdown and are now easily passable. We heard from other hikers, but did not personally see, that Air Line was still in bad shape. A big THANK YOU to the two RMC maintainers that we met on Watson Path, and to all who have worked to clear...

    Baxter Peak via the Hunt Trail, Saturday 10/7, plus gratuitous Baxter In Autumn Shots

    If there is a better place to celebrate the glory of autumn than Baxter State Park, over Columbus Day weekend, I have not found it yet. Unsettled weather and slowly advancing physical decrepitude combined to make it a somewhat less successful hiking weekend than in past years. Still, given...

    Man falls 1000 feet to his death on Katahdin's Abol Slide.

    I was on the mountain that day. My group of four (referenced on the facebook quote above) got just above treeline on the rerouted trail before turning back. We were using snowshoes and trekking poles at the time that we turned back, but we had ice axes and crampons. We decided that going on...
