Disclaimer: I asked permission to hike both of these peaks Back on 4/27, I hiked to mountains in Piermont NH. The first one was Piermont Mtn...I went up a trail out of a summer camp, and came down a trail to another summer camp, and walked about 2 miles on the road back to the car. The...

One of the lovely advantages to actually having a car and license is, I can choose to go where I please. This weekend (my weekends are Thur thru Sat) I decided on three different places to visit..Blueberry Mtn in Benton, Green Mtn in Claremont, and some Lyme, NH conserved lands. I will start...

Why don't we start with a smiley face? Seeing this made me believe this would be a great day of snowshoeing. The original itinerary was to check out Ethan Pond, and possibly go to Shoal Pond if we were feeling up to it, and if the trail was broken. While we didn't end up going to Shoal...

I was up in the NE Kingdom of VT and northern NH this past weekend, and I thought I'd show a few pics. I did some minor hiking, but most of it was driving around, checking out the sites. This is the Sheffield town forest, and it appears all the signs are in German. Hunter is very much in his...

I finally hiked a winter 4K on a classic day!! It was clear, windy, and quite cold. Forecasted winds of 100 mph+ on Mt Washington made me nervous, but not enough to not attempt Moosiluake on Monday with my friend Justin. With a little luck, we would get up there in a semi lull and be able to...

I succeeded on my 5th winter 4K yesterday, which was Cannon Mtn. Let me say, it was NOT easy. The route was the Lonesome Lake trail, with a little side trip to the hut, and then the Around the Lake trail, back to Lonesome Lake trail, to Kinsman Ridge trail up the summit, and down to the tram...

According to the forest service site, it is...could it be? Lemme know!

.....and hopefully many more to come!! Last Friday 12/28/12, I took a hike in Hanover and walked home to West Lebanon, not crossing a road till 1/2 mile from my house. Not bad, if you ask me! There isn't a lot to say, but I was kind of rushed because I only had about 2 hours of good daylight...

I went on one of the most unique hikes on Friday, 12/7....Mt Wantastiquet in Chesterfield, NH. This is very close to the VT border, in the extreme SW corner of NH. The beginning started in a Society for the protection of NH forests easement called the Madame Antionette Sherri forest. This...

This isn't good. http://www.nhpr.org/post/wanted-berlin-moose-poacher

From Patterson Mtn I don't tend to hike for a goal (like peakbagging)...I just want to see as many trails as possible. On Friday I completed hiking the Cross Rivendell Trail that goes from Flagpole Hill in Vershire, Vt, to the summit of Mt Cube in Orford, NH. I must say, the section of trail...

On Thursday, I decided to hike my new favorite local traverse...Moose Mtn, from Enfield, to the Hanover Lyme area on Goose Pond Rd. I believe it is about a 10-11 mile one way hike, which traverses about 5.5 miles of unmaintained trail, and 5.5 miles of AT. Considering the highest point on the...

Foliage hikes have been at a premium so far this year, so I was glad when I was able to get out to the whites last Friday for a spectacular trip to Tucks. The foliage is peaking in most of the white mtns right now, and its as red as I have ever seen it. We took the super scenic route up the...

http://www.tarptent.com/ I'm looking for a light tent/shelter for a 3 season (well maybe 2.5 season) time period, something like May thru October. I'm not necessarily going ultralight, because my other necessities (like water) still will weigh a lot. I'd just like to cut out as much weight as...

Last Thursday was an excellent day to Smarts Mtn. We went up Lambert Ridge trail, and descended a new way for me...the Daniel Doan Trail. I've heard conflicting reports on this one...the top part is very wet and slick, and the lower part a gorgeous walk in the woods. More on that later...but...

This was a much planned trip back to North Lafayette via the Skookumchuck trail. Back in Jan of 2011 I attempted it with some friends but we lost the trail, and had to turn around. After seeing where the trail went last Friday, I felt kind of stupid, but the amount of snow obscured the trail...

I went on what is possibly my 500th summit of Mt Moosilauke last Saturday. But it never disappoints! I brought (she says dragged) my girlfriend along, though I think she enjoyed it, to the point where we may be doing other larger scale hikes in the future, possibly more 4000 footers. view...

After making it to Owls Head last October, I figured it would be a "cinch" to make it to Bondcliff. Well maybe not a cinch, but doable. My original trip plan was to make the loop around Owls Head mtn, stop at Thirteen Falls for an extended lunch, then head out on the Franconia Brook trail...

HI all! I was wondering if anyone has been past the Owls Head slide along the Lincoln Brook trail...I'm thinking of doing a long loop around Owls Head and visiting Thirteen Falls. I've heard that it is tough to follow in places at the height of land. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks in...
