Free. Pick up in Goffstown. Coleman Cl-1 and CL-2 Both in good shape.

The Strava heat map shows some walk/run foot traffic, but a lot more snow/ski traffic. Strava Global Heatmap (switch between foot and snow to compare the difference.)

Jefferson Notch Road spring opening date is usually around June 13th, base on reports on TrailsNH. Last year it was reported opened 5/29, in 2021 and 2020 it was reported 6/18. If it wasn't damaged by the May 1st heavy rains, I'd bet it will open before 6/13.

Very true. The graph was just one search term, and just on Google. You could run the same graph (but I didn't) on any hiking related term to get more facts. But my gut says they'd show a similar downward trend. Plus, google does not know the full picture. Lots of hikers don't do any (or very...

Ads on a hiking website will not rake in revenue anymore. Ad revenue dropped significantly above a year ago. From my experience this year, 3 more or less ads per page will generate $1+/- for 1000 page views.

You can use Google Trends to look at how popular hiking related searched are over time. The graph below reviews search trends for "Franconia Ridge" over that last 5 year: - Winter 22-23 looks to be roughly 1/2 as many searches as Winter 21-22, about the same as Winter 19-20. - Summer '22...

I’m almost certain they do not get browser history. I’ll double check just that. I’m pretty sure they will see the page you login on. I’ll check. You can login on the home page. Then they won’t know much. TrailsNH will save a cookie for you, so you won’t have to login on the next visit...

For personal data I get your name and email address when you login. If Facebook or Google send more than that, it just gets deleted. You're not kidding. The utility costs to run TrailsNH go up every year, and they are significant. And money from advertising drops every year. What's why I've...

Replying again to clarify. If you do not login you can still read the archive. You will see the date and title for each trip report. When you login, in addition to the date and title for each trip report, you get the authors name, and the name of the site it came from, and a link to the...

That's correct. It's a premium feature, even though membership does no cost anything.

I've added yearly and monthly trip report archives for each peaks on TrailsNH. Take a look at Galehead as an example: https://trailsnh.com/hike/n/357731142/Galehead-Mountain-NH#tr-archive The monthly archives should help with evaluating possible winter routes, assessing possible spring...

Personally, I think that guy is lying about being lost in the Pemi for 3 days. In a TV News interview the week after being found, he was asked about future plans. He said something like: "I wouldn't be tacking those out for a while." and pointed to a pair of work boots that looked like...

I lost a Subaru key in Nottingcook Forest in Bow NH, on Monday Feb 16. The key ring also has two other keys and a remote on it. I started from the Woodhill Hooksett Rd trailhead, then took Sheridan's way to Steer Brook tr, to Glacier Erratic tr, then a short bushwhack to a snowmobile trail, and...

@Lefty E, I added these three roads to TrailsNH. I guessed as best as I could on the gates locations. Can you tell me if they are pinned to the correct spots? https://trailsnh.com/reports/Forest-Roads-Gates.php?road=success-pond-road#OPEN...

That would be something new. They were not ticketing or towing cars on Heart Lake Rd (Adirondack Loj Rd) last year. I parked on it.
