Any advice regarding Battell versus the Long Trail for a traverse of Ellen and Abraham? Both appear to be packed out from trip reports. With the road walk to the LT summer trailhead, Battell appears to be slightly shorter. We will be headed back to Jericho VT afterwards and head in via the...

Many of us have been hiking for years in all 4 seasons. But for many newer hikers, getting out in winter is intimidating. The Boston AMC hosts a great Winter Hiking program with 5 classes about layering, gear, boots, weather analysis, safety etc and 19 different trips for budding winter hikers...

I'm planning a backpack from Glen Boulder south to 302 via the Davis Path for mid October. I searched old threads and came up with conflicting information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 1) I read about references to a spring on Mt Davis-- is this fictional? 2) The resolution shelter...

Hey folks, My friend Mike Henrick wants a gentler descent from Owls Head than the slide or Brutus. Has anyone tried to bushwhack down the northwest ridge or up from thirteen falls? I did a search and didn't come up with anything, which surprised me. Any beta would be appreciated. Thanks!

We found a smart phone while hiking Scar Ridge on 11/2. PM me if you lost one there.

My friend Bill lost his ice axe on the Hancocks on Friday Jan 18. Anyone finding the same should give him an email at wnd19(at)comcast(dot)net or pm me. Thanks!

I signed up to do a Mahoosucs traverse with a meetup group-- yes I know--it’s potluck, but I am ok with that. I'd heard so much about the notch and wanted to get Old Speck for my NE 4k list, which I started recently, and, since I kinda sotra started the hundred highest too, Goose Eye as well. I...

I am planning a trip to Mansfield Saturday and Killington Sunday. According to the GMC mud season is over and hiking is fine. However, the folks I spoke with thought the Killington ski trails would be too muddy to responsibly hike, but weren't really sure. I couldn't find any recent on-line...

What a winter this has been! So many great hikes for me, and with such great weather for virtually all of them. My all-season finish on North Twin was no exception, with bright blue skies, temps in the high 30s and 40s, and a gentle breeze. Add in my first undercast, great views, a little...
