Oddly enough, in many decades of hiking, I've never, until now, run into the concept of trails that don't open until Memorial Day. By chance ,this year, two of my early plans have been nixed due to apparent mud season closures: Squam Range trails in N.H. and Willoughby trails in Vt. For the...

Went to Greylock today, planning to hike ragged Mountain via the end of Thiel Road. Theil Road is blocked and posted starting at the junction with Gould Road. There is extensive site preparation work being done at the upper end of Thiel Road. There is a very large building (new Greylock Glen...

I recently got a pair of "lightweight" leather non-custom Limmers. Went 1/2 size smaller than my usual over-the-counter shoe and boots size. After 3 trips totalling about 15 miles, I have a problem with the right boot (left is perfect). I am getting rubbing at the back of the heel, and on both...

I don’t recall that the WMNF Wanosha Integrated Resource Project, first proposed in 2017, has been discussed on this forum. Since a decision to move forward on most of this project was made in July, 2020, I thought it would be of interest here. Relevant links are...

More than 25 years ago, I bushwhacked to Cave Mountain, in Dixville, N.H. I wanted to find any caves that might be there. I checked out a cliff south of the summit, but only found some vertical fissures in the cliff. This year I returned, armed with better intelligence in the form of a Caltopo...

Folks, Is Flat Mountain Pond Trail, from Jose's Bridge to Flat Mountain Ponds, considered to be in the Sandwich Range Wilderness? (It forms a boundary of the wilderness.) If not in the Wilderness, is it bikeable (not for sport, as an approach to the pond.) Thanks

I drove down Meriden Hill Road in Columbia and parked at the gate for the former logging road that runs along Lyman Brook. I rode my mountain bike for about 4 miles down this road, past several intersections and around a long eastward bend, and left the bike at a large clearing that is at the...

Any recommendations for tent camping with car parking at the tent site for Mt. Desert Island in the timeframe of mid September to mid October? Thanks.

I've often seen people talk about two Black Mountains in the Sandwich Range. I am aware of the Black Mountain with an elevation of 2372 feet just to the west of the Algonquin trail, at about 2 miles from the trailhead. But where is the other so named peak?

Has any one been to the Algonquin Tr./ Black Mountain (Sandwich Range) area lately? Whats the current snow depth/ melting ?

In June, 2018, in extreme heat, I attempted to reach the ridgeline of Cape Horn from the woods road off Lost Nation Rd. I failed (exhaustion). Since I really wanted to reach the southern half of the ridge, I tried again in September from the south, from the snowmobile trail on Page Hill Road...
