I'd start out just before sunrise... The first part (provided you start from the DEC lot for Bradley Pond) of the trail is about 1.5 or more miles along a private gravel road and the turn off to the right is well marked so it should be no problem even if it is still dark. If you are not going...

we did Allen a few weeks back... As other posts have said you'll have no trouble finding the trail; there are several signs stating which way to go and which way not to go. We started at 7:45 am and finished around 6:30 with several breaks, had lunch at Skylight Brook and spent about 30 minutes...

Proud Pup, Max On Phelps Mt. in my Avatar I've always had labs; they are easy to train , love the outdoors, are great swimmers, and are all around great family dogs. I've also seem lab mixes adpoted from the pound that have the exact same characteristics. As for the hair, even with shorter...

We hiked Seymour with our lab in 2004. We hiked Seymour last year with our 3 year old Lab. Max is 90lbs and loves to hike with us but had some difficulty a few times near the top of Seymour navigating through the blowdown (there's really only a few sections of it) and finding a way around some...

It took us 12.5 hours with a lot of time on Skylight's summit and a lot of time resting because of the heat. Judging by other posts, our speed...

Placidnay I think I came the closest to heat exhaustion I had ever been this weekend and trust me, it wasn't something I was aiming for! We hiked up Skylight/Gray from the loj and back and both of us felt pretty bad near the end. We are usually pretty good long distance and felt prepared for...

Placidnay We camped at Ward Brook LT last September and hit Seymour on day one and climbed Seward from Ward Brook LT the next day. There was a few sections of blowdown near the top, but nothing really memorable to report. There wasn't anything that you couldn't navigate around pretty quickly...

Placidnay We used to be long distance runners and can blame all sorts of things on not getting out after work and working out. It's 50/50 whether we go for a hike at Green Lakes or hit Clark's Ale House downtown instead! :p
