Does anyone know what the parking is like, if any, for the Byron-Weld Road (on the Weld side) this time of year? I've been thinking of heading into Tumbledown Mountain while there's still plenty of snow, but I have no firsthand knowledge of the area in winter. I know the road is a snowmobile...

Trail Conditions: Alternating mud and ice to around 1500'. Sheer ice on Blueberry Ridge trail below Blueberry Mtn. Hard packed, crusty snow on Blueberry Ridge. Starting just south of Ames Mtn, ice-coated trees blocked much of the trail. Much worse blockage and blowdowns on Bickford Brook trail...

This is a bit "old news" since the trip was almost a month ago, but my buddy Tom and I spent a week in the park, mostly backpacking, and seeing as many of the sights as possible. I can't think of a better place in the world to be. Here are the daily write-ups from the trip: Day 1: Roaring Brook...

http://bethelcitizen.com/?p=584 Too early to say what exactly will come of it, but it sounds like a positive development in this long story. Let's hope it leads to good things!

We took advantage of the fresh powder yesterday to hike up Red Ridge Trail, then across the Moat Mountain Trail to North Moat, and then back down to Diana's Bath parking area. Broke trail the entire way, with snowshoes absolutely necessary the whole way, with at least 6 inches of new, fluffy...

Started from the end of Enid Melrose Road-- no designated parking here, but enough space to pull a car off on the side. First few miles were groomed snowmobile trail, then light snowpack until the Evergreen Valley Link. There were old snowshoe tracks from this point until the summit. Snow pack...

Saw this on Facebook last night. https://www.facebook.com/GreenMountainClub/posts/10152056134629474:0 Thought it might be interesting to folks here. I don't really have any more info to add for discussion, but that was a relatively short stint compared to the previous executive director.

A friend of mine last saw his Olympus tough camera at the Grafton Notch trailhead parking lot last night, just before we all got in the car to drive to the Grafton Loop south trailhead. It's a black/grey camera, and it was getting dark, so it must have slipped out of his pocket at one of the two...

This seems similar to a few other questions that have been raised recently... I'll be in Conway the weekend after this coming one, and I'm hoping to find a place to camp that's not far from a road. Assuming the larger Forest Service campgrounds are still closed by then, are there any roadside...

Posted this trip report day before yesterday of a fine (if hazy) hike up the Fire Warden's Trail and down the Horns Pond Trail. A few highlights– -Ran into Horns Pond caretaker Ian, whom I'd met earlier in the summer when he was just starting, as well as a few years ago while he was a rotating...

A friend and I just reserved a lean-to at Nesowadnehunk Field campground in Baxter for the nights of 7/19, 7/20, and 7/21. There is space for 4, and it's just the two of us so far. If you're interested in joining, let me know. The more the merrier! We haven't come up with specific day-hiking...

I hiked from Grafton Notch to East B Hill Road last week, and I noticed what looked like an abandoned trail on the east side of Baldpate Mountain– a trail sign for the AT, much like where the old Clearwater Brook Trail hits Elephant Mountain, and a pretty obvious path to the north. The one on...

I was just out on the AT in Maine, and I noticed that on the Maine AT maps (2004 edition), along with on the Spaulding summit sign, Spaulding and Redington are both listed as below 4000 feet (3988 and 3984 feet). Anybody know when that changed?

Hey folks, I'm planning on hiking a section of the AT starting early next month, and if I can get to Elephant Mountain, I may try to knock that off my NEHH list. I've been through that area three times before on the AT, but I don't remember the Clearwater Brook Trail (marked on USGS quads)...

I'm planning on spending the weekend at Stratton Pond in a couple weeks, so I probably should have asked this earlier, but does anyone know how far into the Stratton-Arlington Road you can get in winter? I'd take either the Catamount Trail or the Stratton Pond Trail into the pond. I'm guessing...

I mentioned this at some point last year or the year before, but there was a couple from somewhere in Maine who tried to hike the LT last winter, and after it was mentioned, I heard no news of it ever again. Until today! I just picked up the Winter LT News, and the last page of the issue has a...

Hey everyone. Long time no see... My plans for the summer have changed a bit and I'm back in New England for a little while. I'm trying to throw together a last minute plan to hike the Long Trail starting sometime around July 16. The only big problem is that I'll be driving from Maine and don't...

Hey everybody. Just thought I'd mention this again-- I've been making some iPhone based trail guide apps, and now that I've got the Pacific Crest Trail guides done, I'm focusing on places more near and dear to me. One for the Camden Hills in Maine just went on the app store today. That's all...

I've tried calling Sunapee and Pillsbury State Parks with these questions, but no one's answering. I guess it's too early in the season for them to be staffed. Does anyone know about parking for these two places? In particular: 1. Pillsbury Park is gated right now, but there's a pretty large...

Road to Dublin Trail parking from 101 says "road closed ahead" but the parking area is open and accessible. The dirt road has some deep ruts, but is dry and my Maxima made it in without a problem. Trail conditions were nice. Ground is mostly frozen, with only a few patches of easily avoidable...
