Greetings all and Happy Holidays! I am heading to Maui, HI at the end of February. Looking for any and all suggestions of the best places to hike: peaks, water falls, rain forests, beaches, etc. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Also, any preferable maps or book suggestions are also...

Does anyone know about the condition of the cabin on Alander Mt? Does it still exist? Planning on heading out that way next week and just need to know what to prepare for. Thanks.

I'm heading out for a week-long backpack on the LT and want to stash a supply of food somewhere prior to leaving. Is it worth buying or renting a Bear vault? Is the old standard of simply hanging the cache in bear country sufficient? I'm curious to know what successful strategies people have...

Trails are drying up nicely. A few wet areas to navigate on Jack Frost, Old Indian, Semuhenna and Bicentennial Trails. Snowbaording and ski trails still have cruddy snow and crossing these trails is a bit mucky. No special equipment needed except Nice views of Wapack Range, Monadnock, Okemo...

This section of the Midstate Trail is in fine shape; minimal blowdowns that are easily navigable, dry and with the correct amount of stinging and biting insects for the latter end of August. One mile or so, north of Muddy Pond(we were heading south) we encountered some serious overgrowth and due...

Heading to Hawaii first week in April this year and was wondering if any one had any insight or tips to hiking the Kalalau Trail on Kauai. Aside of obtaining an overnight permit(already obtained), basic backpacking needs(totally going ultralite) and my own research...what else can i expect...

Okay, okay...so its been a while since I've been to the Whites to hike...since January actually and Mookie has been breathing down my neck to get out. So I figure it is july and I'm getting an itch to breathe some mountain air and Mookie is making a move on his 4k list and has an idea of bangin...

Trail conditions: The recent ice storm has devastated the lower part of this trail. Multiple blow downs have cluttered the path making it difficult to pass. I don't know what the trail conditions are are higher up, but i can imagine the same. Special equipment: chainsaw would be very...

What a day for Isolation. Mookie and i climbed the Glen Boulder Trail, tried to pry the boulder over and then climbed up to the Davis Path. The views of Boott Spur and the Gulf of Slides were stupendous as were Moriah/Carters/Wildcats, our next day journey. I could see cars driving up the Auto...

Wow...thank god for trekking poles, knee replacement surgeries and ice cream, because i needed all three to do this a$$ whomper! Mookie and myself left a quiet (at that time) Barnes @ 5 am and drove over to the Carter-Moriah Trail in Gorham. We geared up and started our journey in the dark...

I wondered what the heck i was doing while my car was hydroplaning most of the way up 93. It was raining hard on the outskirts of Hannah. I was way too close to the mountains to turn around, i had to see what it would be like... ...to my amazement, the rain had ceased right around Lincoln and...

Sunday was such a beauty of a day and i got to spend it on my first trip into the ADK's. Mookie finally convinced me to take a break from the Whites and head over to Vt for the weekend to hike there and for a day trip to NY. I'm sure glad i did! I've only seen the 'dacks from afar and never...

The last time i had done Mansfield, i had to bypass the Forehead because i had my dog...and there were ladders...any one remeber that? Last weekend, up in the Whites, i was talking to some hikers about the Hell Brook trail on Mansfield and got to thinking...so i called up Mookie to see if he...

After a very late start and a 4 hour drive through Boston in stop n go traffic, i finally arrived in the Whites with my friend JP. We hit Tecumseh because the late hour, the short trip and the ease of the trail. Jp got a severe ankle sprain about six weeks ago trail running with me, and wanted...

Are you freakin kidding? I can't believe i missed Bearly Live '08 to do this hike. The sad part is that I lost two good friends to exposure on this hike as well...

Another beautiful drive to the whites, another interior cloud view from the peaks. Seems to be the recent trend...haven't had a decent view since being on the southern presies the 1st weekend in june! At least i got out and knocked a few more 4k's off my list. JJ and i met with gg once again...

On thursday afternoon, JJ and myself met up with Mookie at the LT parking lot on lincoln gap road to spot my car. Our plan is to do an overnight on the monroe skyline to knock off a pair of 4k's in VT. After loading up my gear and Jackson in Mook's car, we headed north to the Beane trail...

After meeting up with mookie, and camping the rain began to fall on our way to breakfast sunday morning. We watched people dodge increasingly larger and steadier raindrops from our vantage point at Peg's for about an hour. We all wondered when the deluge would end. It didn't seem to want to quit...

I finally decided that enough was enough, that i shouldn't be whiner and not go hiking because of some stupid summer cold(and the fact that both mookie and gillian were calling me out on it!). So, i got my junk together, whistled for JJ (aka Jackson) to hop in the car and we headed up north to...

Tuesday June 17 Aside of a couple of damp areas, trails were very dry. No bugs!
