Bear Mt lots remain open in winter.

It's truly abhorrent. It's a travesty our media outlets refuse to shed light on these matters. True child slave labor in massive numbers is used to mine these elements necessary for electric vehicles. Unfortunately, EV's are not the carbon-neutral platform we have been sold. Sure seems to be...

Thank you for your post. This horrible tragedy should not result in a restriction of my or any other hikers' access. I'm grateful if I ever am in need the members of SAR are willing to save my arse. I will do my part and be reasonably prepared for the potential hazards. The current signage...

God's speed brotha. Best wishes in your recovery.

What you have in your pack is none of my business; after all it's you carrying the extra weight. I'd agree bear spray is not necessary in the the NorthEast. I've not run into a black bear in the Whites but plenty of times, especially early am in Catskills. Close to a dozen encounters over my...

I saw this on TV yesterday. Oh my, what an amazing video. The sheer size and power is incredible.

The definition of "camping" is critical. I can understand the no camping rule due to others' past transgressions. While I don't completely agree I do get it. On the other hand I drive 5-6 hours and simply want to sleep in my truck for an early 5am start. I am not partaking in anything but...

Same situation for me. I recently had a PM talk with Ken who posted above. It helps to hear from others with the same plight. About 50 and in need of a TKR of my left knee due to bone on bone. The left side and knee cap are where the pain presents most. For me, the "real" pain is while...

Thank you all for the excellent info. Much appreciated! And post hike I'm looking forward to giving the new Gorham Brewery a spin! I've heard a rumor good brews decrease swollen knees :D

Sorry I'm late to the party on this one. I grew up on a small dairy farm on East St. My family's burial ground is also nearby East St. Family has been there since the 1800's. My grandparents told me the hotel was quite the jem back in the day. Parking at the Oxbow area is solid advice...

I haven't done Glen Boulder Trail but I assumed it would be similar to hiking in the ravines with comparable terrain. Thanks DayTrip.

Thank you Tim. Big plus on the link! I had the site linked in my bookmarks and one day went to use it, gone. I'm glad to see it is still available.

Looking to give Mt. Isolation a visit. I'm dealing with a knee issue, full replacement at some point. I have responded well with Visco shots. Pretty solid/stable on the up but the return is where the pain will hit. I've been doing some hikes in the Catskill and they have been a ok. Whites...

I don't post often but I do read many posts and I enjoy lots of yours. I wish you the best in your recovery. Ankles are rough. I've broken mine when younger and again at about 42 from a 4 wheeler accident. Post op I had a bone fragment floating around that was bothersome. Doc said no we...

Last winter both the MA and the NY side parking areas were plowed. Haven't been there since last winter so not sure.
