That was us..... Two of us and my dog did that hike on 1/22 (sorry to have missed you Rick!) We went up Lafayette and Down Osseo with a car spot. We did it one winter before in the same manner. Personally, I find it easier to get most of the climbing out of the way first. Once Lafayette is...

Went up from Tripoli Road over Main Peak, over to East Peak and Back , and down to Tripoli Road. Up to Main Peak, enough water in the trail to allow plenty of drinks for the "pup", but footing was fine and snow almost completely gone. Enough snow left in the 1 mile stretch between Main & East...

Patches of snow (in middle of trail) from 3000' on up. Snow was mostly all avoidable, or easy to navigate. No special equipment needed - footing was fine. Brook crossings fine. Little bit of mud in the beginning, but overall trail is in great shape. No bugs yet.

Cath - Thanks for sharing Wackin Fun indeed! Thanks for sharing your 1994 trip report(s) it brought back some great memories! It's amazing how something so horrendous at the time is reflected on so fondly, and remembered as a lot of fun usually only just a few minutes after fnally getting...

Hi all - we went across the Wildcats and Carters today )up Polecat and across WIldcat Ridge etc, trails are all soft packed but decently broken out. However the low light spruce between D and A was frustrating in spots. Have a great hike! :)

Hi Bob - we were up in that area today and drove over to Bangor Road - the CM trail was unbroken as of this morning, however the stony brook trail from rte 16 looked broken(ie: as far as I could see down the trail it was).

Great Pictures Great Pictures - it was a great day to be out! I met you on the summit unofficially. I did get "ragged" on the rest of the day for taking them the "hard" way across the traverse :) Glad you had a great hike!

Energy Drink & Gels I'm not a big eater during the hike - but I carry most of my calories in my drink. For hikes of 5 hours or less, I carry 100 ounces of water mixed with 5 scoops of grape or fruit punch Cytomax, and 2 scoops of Grape or fruit punch Whey Fruity Protein Powder & 10 grams of...

A week ago Saturday, we had just finished a traverse of Franconia Ridge. At 14.6 miles and 4800' of climbing it was our longest and toughest trip of the season. My feet felt like they were broken and all I could think about was taking a bath. Through the haze of the pain, I hear grasshopper...
