I'm hoping to get a quick response. I'm planning a hike and and some overnight tent camping for tomorrow. The place I had originally hoped to stay at isn't open. If I understand correctly Lafayette campgound is open on a walk-in basis. I'm assuming you can park in the lot and then just walk...

We loaded up the mini-van on Saturday and headed up north around 6:00 pm. My 6 year old son Brody, Molly the dog and I had planned on hiking the Welch-Dickey loop on Sunday. I didn't feel like making the 3 1/2 hour drive on Sunday so I planned on using the mini-van as a tent for the evening...

Next week I am planning to hike Mt. Moosilauke hopefully using the Gorge Brook Trail starting at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge. I have read somewhere in the past, ( I can't remember where ), that the access road to the Lodge off of Rt. 118 is closed in the winter. I'm not sure if it is closed...

I know its a work day for most, but I'm throwing this out there anyway. I'm planning on hiking this Friday Feb. 10. I'm thinking possibly Moosilauke via Glencliff; Passaconaway, Whiteface from Ferncroft; or Liberty and Flume as I need all of these peaks. It appears that the weather might...

I'm planning on hiking the Osceola's on Thursday June 16th leaving the Mt. Osceola trail off of Tripoli road between 0830 - 0900. I would love to have some felllow VFTT people join me although I know it is a midweek hike. I need the Osceola's for my NH 48 list, but an alternative could be...

My brother and I plan on taking my 3 1/2 year old son overnight camping in a couple of weeks. We also plan to do a small hike. Looking at the AMC guide maps I'm thinking of maybe giving the Rattlesnake Mountain trail a shot in Rumney. I'm wondering if anyone whose done this trail can tell me...

Can anyone from the Boston area or someone who frequents the blue hills tell me if there is any snow cover on the hiking trails still? I want to take my 3 1/2 year old hiking up there again, but only if there is no snow on the hiking trails. I'm sure there is still plenty left on the ski...

I know its a few weeks away, but I wanted to send this out early to see if there was any interest. I'm wondering if anyone would want to join me on a day trip of Mt. Tecumseh on either April 21 or 22 ( Thursday or Friday )? It is one of the many 4000 footers I have left on my all season list...

Does anyone know the exact way to measure the torso for a backpack if purchasing online? I'm looking to probably get my wife a backpack for mothers day, ( besides what she would really want ). The one I am looking at is women specific and the torso sizes are small 15-17" med 17-19" and...
