This would be a lucky, ducky day; My brother thought all night of his friends foolish way; Foolish to be climbing Mt. Washington in snow coulds of gray; Forocious winds and 20 below windchills the report did say; So a call I got at 7:30 in the morning; My brother did call and ask if I was...

Actually (the red pines) I was referring to were the hike I did in August. You did get the tops of a few in a couple of your photos :)

Thanks for the great report John, I saw it on http://www.newenglandtrailconditions.com/ and had to read the report as this is a hike I was considering sometime soon and was wondering what the conditions might be. I did this hike in the summer to Pickering...

Scott & I actually rested and up early for once arrived at the Baldface Circle Trail destined to make an Eagle Craig ascent! It was cold but nothing like the weekend before! We geared up and headed across the street to the trail head at 9:38am. The trail was hard and crusty and well packed...

Scott & I had planned on hiking Israel Mt. on this unseasonally warm day and headed to Center Sandwich under blue sky's. I wasn't sure how far in Sandwich Notch Rd. was plowed but was hopefull we would make it to the Wentworth trail head. Well, the plowed road stopped at Diamond Ledge Rd. and a...

Saturday was forecasted to be cold but clear and it was just that when we got going in the morning. I decided on a small peak (small/lesser known peaks seem to be my calling card) which I have had on my "check me out list" for some time now...Peaked Mt. 1,739' (Green Hills Preserve - Nature...

I might make this a regular wednesday thing. If you see a red escape there it is me! I would like to know other routes to this. I noticed tracks leaving from the right side of the parking lot, and also up in the Baldy/Blue Job Col. down the jeep roads which seem to crisscross over this area. I...

After a tuff night (as it's been all week) of vacuuming up never-ending sand at my cleaning accounts I finally fell asleep in my comfy bed around 5am ... thinking, "it's supposed to be clear on Wednesday, maybe if I get up early enough I will hike Blue Job." Well some pion in my body was...

My mom left me a message on my phone New Years Eve night that she was hiking Mt. Major (Alton, NH) in the morning. I was game, and was up on time to meet her at 10:00am. The lot was surprisingly 1/2 full. Despite this we saw only a couple people on the trails. The skies were overcast and there...

Pierce is a winter fav! Congrats on the first December 4000! I did Pierce November '07 in winter conditions, haven't gotten one in December yet!

I have been eyeing those peaks on the map all summer, and after seeing them from Wildcat and reading about the views in the trail book I added them to the "sometime soon list". Thanks for the report and great pics! I am now going to plan on these for the spring!

With such a nice day forecasted I thought this would be my last chance this year to make another run on White Ledge which Scott & I did back in May '09. The sky's were clear as we came to the White Ledge Campground where we would park at the gate. Unfortunately the entrance was not plowed and...

Neat to see how this is done. Great work!

Guess we got the wind you were expecting over on Blue Job in Farmington. Great report and can't wait for the pics!

Very nice! Definitely socked in with snow and looked cold. The one shot you got with the blue sky and the snowy trees came out great!
