Hiked from the K highway. Not much snow, a lot of ice. We used microspikes from start to finish. The climb up and down East peak was slow and difficult because of the ice. The chimney between the summits had a lot of ice. We bypassed the chimney by scrambling up the rocks to the north side...

Thanks for the information guys! I don't think our group is up for the AT approach, but it sounds excellent.

It has been many years since I hiked Saddleback Mtn and the Horn. Is there still a trail available to hikers that goes up the Saddleback ski slopes? Thanks!

We hiked from Lincoln Gap to Mt. Ellen and back. There is a sign on the Lincoln-Warren road saying that the road is closed, but we were able to drive all the way to the trailhead. The trail is mostly bare, no snow to speak of. We bare-booted the entire way. Carried microspikes but did not...

Seven of us hiked Mt Marcy from Adirondack Loj on Saturday the 27th. This completed my W46 and W115. Yahooooooooo! We wore snowshoes from start to finish, no crampons needed. The trail was incredibly beautiful with all of the recent snow. The trail was well packed to the spur trail to...

Congratulations to both of you. Great accomplishment and great photos!

Congratulations!!!!!!!! A fantastic accomplishment. Len

This was our second attempt this season to hike E Dix via the South Fork Boquet River. We followed our tracks from the first attempt well up into the ravine. As we climbed out of the ravine, we left our previous tracks and paralleled the brook for a few tenths of a mile. We then made a staight...

January 10th. We followed a faint path of previous hikers for the first few miles. No difficulties with the brook crossings. The further we went, the more difficult it was to follow the previous tracks because of increased snow. We made it to the ravine, mostly on the established herd path...

Great trip report Tyler! The solo trips can be physically exhausting and sometimes un-nerving when going off trail. But looking back on them you can have a great sense of accomplishment. And you made great decisions. Good job! I hope to see you on the trail this year. Len

My nephew and I did a similar trip a few years ago in March. We pulled sleds to the leanto near the start of the Macomb HP. We stayed there two nights. We did 3 of the five summits (Macomb/S Dix/Hough). E Dix would have been an easy addition and a strong hiker could have done all 5 without...

A beautiful, warm day! Trail from Upper Works to Flowed Lands was a hard packed super highway. We crossed Flowed Lands for a short cut to Colden Dam. There was a little slush on the surface in spots, but we crossed without a problem. There are many tracks going every which way but the main...

I lost an HP digital camera on the trail somewhere between Santanoni and Times Square on Saturday Feb 28th. It is in a small black camera case. Please send me a private message if you have found it. It has a picture of me on Couchsachraga on the SD card. If no one finds the camera I will...

This thread got me thinking so I checked my hiking log. I am at 29 different peaks in 29 different years. 19 more to go. I think I will keep this in mind when planning future hikes. There are quite a few years that I hiked a dozen or more mountains, so I have some flexibility as to which...

We started on Rt 73 were it crosses the North Fork Boquet River. There were a few inches of powder over a firm snow base. We followed ski tracks in for the first three miles. Thanks to Alex for excellent route finding. The river crossings were not as solid as I would like, but we were able...
