Definitely try out sledding! It was so much fun and now I'm convinced it's the only way down! Brambor, we were soaked too. All those drippy trees!

Liberty and Flume was such a fun hike to do in winter! We were wet for the first half as the branches were dripping all over us (we thought it was actually raining lol!) but we did get some really good undercast views. We did a TON of buttsledding. Probably 2/3 of the way down and a bunch of the...

I know that this trip report won't really be useful for anyone planning to do this range as it was the day before a blizzard. Just think of it as a tease for those of you who had to work on a perfect hiking day :D http://4000-footers.blogspot.com/2012/12/tom-field-and-willey-winter.html

Below is a complete trip report of my Moosilauke hike yesterday. We went up Glencliff and microspikes were definitely useful for the lower sections as well as right before the summit. We contemplated snowshoes and didn't bring them. We were the only ones on the trail that morning and were...

I currently own a pair of Lowa Bora's that have been on all of my NH 4K hikes, including some winter ones, but I think it's time to give them a little rest and find some better suited boots for winter. I was wondering if any of the gals (or guys who own boots that have a ladies version) out...

Great site! I was actually looking for something like this last week! Thanks :)

If you're going solo or with one other person you can do what I did. I hiked from Appalachia and toward the end of the traverse I found someone (a meetup group actually) who gave me a ride back. I would try to secure something before, but I've never had an issue finding a ride back when I've...

Date of Hike: Aug 26, 2012 Trail Conditions: The trails were dry as it had not rained the past couple of days. The flume slide was probably as dry as it ever gets, but still had a couple small wet spots from run offs. All stream crossings were easy to navigate. Special Equipment Required...

It seems like the owner didn't make much of an attempt to rescue their dog. It's nice to see a positive outcome. I bet there were plenty of warnings that they should have turned back before they got into that situation....

Great trip report! Looking forward to getting some Maine hiking in :)
