I'm planning a hike to Owls Head, and have seen a lot of stories about using the Black Pond bushwhack and the bushwhack around the slide up to the peak of Owls Head. I am debating whether to take the traditional route, or use either of these bushwhacks. Are these bushwhacks utilized only in...
I have become a huge fan of weekday hiking, and rarely hike on the weekends anymore. I'm fortunate that I have more vacation time than I know what to do with, so I tend to cherry pick good weekdays to hike. Today (Monday) I did my trail maintenance duties on the lower section of the Cascade...

I have been “lurking in the background” and following this website for more than 15 years. I would have joined years ago but did not know anyone in the group personally. I have learned a lot from this group over the years and picked up some excellent tips. I hope that I can provide some value...
