There was a lawsuit in California over the fees. Apparently someone had a problem paying the $3.00 recreation fee without amenities included. That person won the suit so now with a few exceptions many trail heads will not require a fee. According to what I heard the trailhead must have 6...

Welcome to the forum!!!

Hi Michelle How are ya? All is well here, getting aback into hiking after a long layoff. Hope all is well and you're having a great New Year. GOG :^)

Mt Tecumseh Trail is in good shape. Trail corridor is well defined and easy to follow. Trail has a dusting to about an inch of new snow. First mile is very icy, microspikes made walking easy and we wore them for the entire hike. Left snow shoes at home, never needed them. Temp was about 5 at...

Hiked via Webster Jackson Trail. Trail is excellent shape, trail corridor easy to follow. Snow is minimal at 1 to 3 inches on trail. There is a thick coating of ice under the snow for most of the hike. We used microspikes most of the way and switched to crampons for the last quarter mile to the...

I like the website at Plymouth State. They have a meteorological program there. PSU-Plymouth, NH

I've had them for 4 years and like the fact that they are so light but they could use a more aggressive crampon. I weigh about 260 with my pack and they have held...

My favorite is Natural High Chicken Teriyaki. I don't leave home without it

And how about Chocorua and Guyot

Michelle!! I'm good and I hope you are too. Thanks for the info, I have a feeling I'll be getting there a little early in the season but it's the only chance I have to go. It looks like a pretty good choice of destinations based on what everyone has said so far.

I'm planning a trip to Durango Colorado in late May. I'll be doing some hiking and backpacking in the San Juan National Forest and Black Canyon Of The Gunnison National Park. Has anyone been out that way that can suggest things or places I should be sure to see or do while I'm there? Suggest...

He said the young nurses gave him a thrill !! Story

I've tried to find info on NH State Forests but there seems to be very little out there except for the largest ones. I can find lists with locations for most, not all, but very little usable info. It's too bad because there are hundreds of these in NH. I'll watch this thread and hope someone...
