Mike, Eric, and I decided to attemp Lafayette and Lincoln. The weather was not all that great and even a little rain in the Tramway parking area. We started up the Greenleaf trail on our way to Lafayette. This hike was a lot different than the flat walking I did 2 days earlier. We had about...

With only 3 peaks left on my winter list, I wanted to get 1 crossed off. I thought that I would take advantage of the minimal snow and get Mt Zealand done. I left the the parking area on Rt 302 right abut 8:00am. It felt a little colder than what I expected but there was no sense in checking...

Do they allow overnight parking at the Beaver Brook Recreational Facility?

We started our 3rd winter attempt at the twins around 8:00am Saturday morning. There was one truck at the end of the road for the seven dwarfs when we got there. A wide very well packed snow shoe troth was already established. We decided to see how far the bare boot thing would get us. The...

Our first overnight hike of 2010. We had debated the use of sleds for this hike and determined (at the tralhead) that we would make the sleds work. We were the only vehicles in the Imp face (north end of imp loop) parking area friday night. The sleds pulled OK even though there were bare...

We arrived at the cog station around 8:45am with temps in the mid twenties. There were 20 vehicles in the lot. We started up the Ammonoosuc Ravine trail behind a group of about 10 hikers. The trail was well packed and we decided to start out in bare boots. It seemed a little warm and there...

We didn't want the first winter weekend to get away without a hike and Saturday looked like the better choice for the weather conditions. We parked across the street from the Pine Bend Brook Tail where there were two other vehicles. Started up the trail at 9:00am and 19 degrees. It was...

Previous trip reports mentioned hiking from the ski area, so we thought it was a good plan. As mentioned in those posts, we stuck to the left side of the Polecat trail and did a bareboot ascent. We started at around 9:00am. The wind was blowing strong across the slopes so two of the lifts...

The original plan was to be in the mountains from friday night until sunday morning. The storm on friday night set us back a couple of hours and the thought of starting up the trail at 10pm was not appealing. We decided a warm night at my place and an early start on saturday morning was a...

I found a pair of hiking poles on the trail from Madison hut to the summit of Madison on 1/27/08. Send me a personal message if they are yours or know who they belong to. Thanks

We left the Appalacia parking lot around 8:30Am with some snow falling and started up the Valley Way. The trail was firm except for the new one inch layer of snow. A previous post described it as a sidewalk and I would agree. It was obvius that this trail had seen a lot of activity recently...

Now I know why so many people think I am crazy. This was our annual halloween hike and it is tradition to hike in on friday night. We started up the Sabbaday brook trail friday night in the pouring rain. Our packs were enclosed in a large bag resembling giant condoms. We had planned on...

I guess this is an event notice, but more of a question. Doing Sawyer Pond on cinco de mayo, hopefully. Does any one know if the road is open and the ponds thawed? I really could use use the R&R this weekend. I also hope to see all the crew this weekend.

The group decided to finish what we started last month, our trip up to Garfield. The trail was much different than a month ago, but snowshoes still made the walking a little easier. The trail was packed in good allowing my eyes to wander rather than looking for the next place to step. There...

My hike a month group is still not back to full strength, but Eric and I thought Garfield would be a good one to cross off the list. When we arrived at the parking area we could see that the road had not been broken out which more than likely meant the trail was not broken out either...

This report is a little late, but I wanted to get it in anyway. With two of our group recovering from injuries, Eric and I decided to get the "Hike a Month" done for January. We both needed to cross Willey of the list of remaining winter peaks and we decided the route up the Avalon trail and...

The hike started friday night for me. The approach was along the AT and rattle river trail. The 1.7 mile hike in to the shelter was relatively easy, but I remembered why I don't like summer hiking. The heat, humidity and bugs were with me the whole way. I also remembered what I like about...

We decided to go hiking in spite of the weather forecast. We needed time in the mountains. We had other hikes planned but decided that Cannon would best suit our hangovers, state of dehydration, and overall physical condition. We started out at the tram parking lot at 8:10am. The clouds and...

The annual halloween hike started out great and continued throughout the weekend. Tradition calls for a friday night hike in. The group met at base camp on the Garfield Trail. After settling in, the kielbasa sticks were sharpened and the feasting began. The sky was crystal clear with many...
