Video from an onlooker at Tuck's on Sunday. The rider was OK.

We found this bandana today on the side of Valley Way on the ground beneath the spruce boughs, in the vicinity of Madison Hut. To claim, send an e-mail to alex4mts at yahoo dot com that describes the bandana and circumstances surrounding its loss. Alex

It's great to see growing availability of state/local parks and WMNF trailheads, and to hear of friends' adventures getting back to the mountains. However, the state -- officially -- is not yet ready to receive non-local visitors to NH destinations. From my read, I don't think that use of the...

Wildcats-Carters-Moriah Traverse 4/27/2017 Peaks: Wildcat D, Wildcat A, Carter Dome, South Carter, Middle Carter, Moriah Route: Polecat, Wildcat Ridge, Carter-Moriah, and Stony Brook Trails At elevation (snow line was ~2500'), 2-5' tall monorails were the order of the day -- some standing...

This hike had beckoned to me for quite some time before I put thoughts into action. Opportunity #1: Attempt Katahdin from Daicey on the day after what proved to be a brutal (cold, wind, deep snow) North Brother/Fort hike; I quit while still on the Tote Road – no gas in the tank. Opportunity...

12/17/2016 - South and Milddle Carter via 19MB, CDT, CMT and back Trail Conditions: We hiked at the same time as everything was in the process of receiving 5" of new snow. From road to ridge, snowshoes were the best bet on several inches of loose heavy powder atop the base -- but most of...

Mt. Cabot via York Pond Bunnell Notch and Kilkenny Ridge Trails 5/20/2016 Trail Conditions: Since the trail reports from last weekend, conditions along this route have greatly improved. Ice is limited to just a few small spots on the upper part of the route, and traction is unnecessary. The...

On the upper section of the Mt. Osceola Trail east of the East Osceola summit, we found a small black fleece glove on the side of the 'trail'. alexmtn ( alex at nedzel dot com )

Out-and-back hike from the Kanc over East Osceola to Osceola via the Greeley Ponds and Mt. Osceola Trails 3/14/2016 Trail Conditions: The route is a continuous blue ice flow over 99%+ of its length, from lot to summits. Some very shallow stretches of consolidated snow atop the ice flow help...

I’ve been hoping to get in a big above tree line hike in of late, and unfortunately wasn’t able to take advantage of some wonderful days we had earlier in the month. Today (Sat 1/30/2016) looked like the best possibility over the next several days of forecasts, though it didn’t seem...

Sat 4/18/2015 circa 11am - I managed to drop my lightweight black beanie hat on the trail without noticing. :-( Most likely W of Pierce, on the way down to Highland Center, but it's also possible the deed was done a bit north of Pierce in the direction of Eisenhower. Thanks! alexmtn - alex...

Trail Conditions: The trail was packed powder with a soft surface, solid enough early for bare boots and microspikes, but vulnerable to postholing as the sun came out later in the morning. At the day’s warmest point, there were some annoying snow bolling issues, where after every few steps we...

I'll be in Baxter very shortly to visit the Brothers, Fort and Coe, with the option to include Katahdin if conditions permit. We're entering the park Friday am, exiting on Tuesday. We had a couple of drop-outs, and would be happy to welcome qualified folks into the group. The gear requirements...

Somewhere on my winter descent down the Goose Eye Trail and unbeknownst to me, my camera departed its pouch and is now on the trail. My guess is that it's somewhere circa 2/3 of the way up give or take, but that's only a guess. While I doubt the camera itself will survive for long, I have hope...

Zachary (ColdRiverCampCook) and I set our sights on Goose Eye as the day's objective (first day of winter) in the event of favorable conditions above tree line. We had a plan for attacking from Ketchum, but were delighted* to discover (via some Sunday night pre-scouting) that Success Pond Road...

Mt. Cabot via York Pond, Bunnell Notch, and Kilkenny Ridge Trails - 11/14/2014 Trail Conditions: This trail is very rocky, with a number of muddy stretches. There was 3" of graupel snow on the trail, with occasional 6-8" drifts. Below the point at which the Mt. Cabot trail intersects the...
