The wife and I headed up a wet Moosilauke on Saturday via Beaver Brook Trail. It was drizzling when we parked at the trailhead off 112 and was glad to see it was free parking for the day (NH 'get out doors day')! Anyway, as the sign reads, 'turn back or die!', well, not really, but it is true...

Thanks everyone for the excellent Intel - very much appreciated - have a great rest of the week and nice weekend!

Thanks TJsName, do you happen to know if that site close to or around Zealand Pond, or closer to the A-Z Trail junction? Thank you!

Hi, need some help – a few friends and I want to camp somewhere off of the Zealand Trail. Any decent locations or semi-established spots anyone could suggest? Also going to try and peak Mt. Hale - not having hiked either, does anyone have good (or bad) things to say about ‘Hale Brook’ and...

Headed up Mt. Flume with the wife this weekend for a hike & overnight camp - parked at (totally packed) Lincoln Woods Station around noon and headed up shortly thereafter. Our route would take us down Lincoln Woods to Osseo Trail to Franconia Ridge Trail. The flat then gentle grade up of...

Hi I am searching for a good, solid, warm winter hiking boot that stays truly dry all day long along with excellent comfort. My 3 season Keen's work great for all but the snowiest treks, just need something heartier that I can use with snowshoes, etc. throughout the winter. Thanks in-advance...

Thanks very much! It was very gratifying to finally make it there and on such a stellar day to boot. The decent around Agony Ridge was a bit challenging, but nothing that our spikes and some butt-scooting here and there couldn't handle. It was about 2:30pm or so when we were at that point, so...

Yesterday's great hike up Lafayette (via Old Bridle Path) began with a call from my wife on Friday when she said, "Let's drop the kids off at grandma and grandpa's house and go hiking this weekend." Great! And music to my ears as it would provide another, now third attempt (in so many weeks)...

Item # 2008-24 is priceless!

Thanks for all the replies, very much appreciated!

So, about three weeks ago, I tried to reach the peak of Lafayette via Falling Waters and although I successfully peaked Haystack, I didn't have all my winter gear in tow to battle the frigid temps and howling wind to continue on. Well, after taking a day off from work in anticipation of the...

Excellent, thanks Chip, have the micro spikes packed as I expect I'll need them at some point - I appreciate the reply

Hi there, being new to VFTT thought I'd see if anyone have any info or comments to share as I plan to take a day off on Monday and make a run for Lafayette via Old Bridle Path and Greenleaf... 1) haven't hiked much during weekdays, what type of hiker volume should I expect? Pretty Light? 2)...
