I may be taking a trip to Vancouver this summer. Has anyone done any hiking there? I looking for some recomendations on bagging some peaks while I'm in the area. Thanks,

Snow, ice, cold wind.... winter is on its way. I set out for a hike on Sunday with my wife dropping me off at Edmands Path at 8:00 and I had until 2:00 to get to Crawford Depot where she would pick me up. The forecast looked pretty good but morning air was cold. I headed up Edmands Path and...

I joined Hiker Ed and his group on Saturday for an enjoyable, but wet hike up the Mt Kinsman Trail to visit North and South Kinsman. Several of us missed the very small sign marking the entrance to the new Mt Kinsman Trail parking lot. After I drove past it I stopped at the old trailhead where...

After a wet Saturday it was nice to start Sunday with some nice weather. Jeremy offered to lead a hike to Owl's Head and I really wanted to learn the Black Pond and Brutus bushwhacks. So Jermey, Skip, Dave, and I met at Lincoln Woods for a 7:30 departure. After the rain Saturday afternoon...

My wife and I happened on a trail this Saturday which lead to a really great view of the White Mountains. Anyone care to guess where this is?

I wasn't signed up for any peaks but decided to visit Mt Liberty and Mt Flume to see the flags. The day looked pretty good when I arrived in the notch around 9:00 but as I hiked up the Liberty Springs Trail the clouds had rolled in over most of the summits. Mt Liberty was not too bad when I...

Last summer after visiting Zealand and Galehead huts to bag the surrounding peaks I thought it would make a great trip to go hut to hut and bag as many 4Ks as I could in a week. After some planning I decided to hike from Lincoln Woods to Appalachia averaging 4 peaks and 12 to 13 miles a day...

I woke up Sunday morning and decided to take in one more peak for the weekend. The weather didn't look great but I was up for a short hike on my way home so I headed over to Moosilauke. LRiz had suggested the Beaver Brook Trail was a great hike and I had not been up that trail before so I...

LRiz was on another one of her weekend hiking marathons and asked if I'd like to join her for a quick run up Cabot on Saturday. I told here I would let her know after I finished my Bonds/Zealand Traverse on Friday. Well I felt pretty good on Friday night so the hike was on. I arrived a little...

Sorry for a belated trip report, it was a busy week and I just got around to uploading my pictures tonight. Jeremy invited me to do a Bonds/Zealand traverse with him on the Memorial Day weekend and we would pick the nice weather day. I jumped at the chance. Friday looked great so I took the...

LRiz was wanting to hike Mt Whiteface/Passaconaway on the Sunday after her incredible Mt Washington/Isolation trip on the Saturday. I needed these peaks for my Spring48 so a hike was on. We met at Ferncroft for 9am which turned out to be just the right time as the rain stopped about 8:30 and...

After finishing Mt Hale in the morning and still seeing the sunshine, I just couldn't waste the afternoon so I headed over to Cannon. The trail was a steep as it always is and the path between the outlook and the summit was muddy in all the usual places. On the final approach to the summit...

Saturday called for good weather in the morning and cloudy with rain in the afternoon so I was looking for a short hike to fill my morning. With Zealand road open, Mt Hale seemed to fit the bill. Recent trail reports indicated the Hale Brook Trail was mostly snow free. Snowshoes... stay in...

Last Wednesday the weekend weather forecast looked rainy but Friday looked to be a blue sky day so I booked off work to head north for a weekend of hiking. I had taken the last 2 weekends off to get some yard chores done so I was ready for some elevation. Since Friday looked to be the pick of...
