Hello - Been a member for a while but don't have much time to post. After spending some time in hell (Facebook) and leaving it, it's good to be reading hiking posts, trip reports and looking at hiking pics once again. Unfortunately, I don't get up to the Whites as often as I would like so I...

Greetings - My son is a sophomore in college and he recently applied for a Backcountry Caretaker position for the summer. The position is based out of Pinkham Notch. He loves hiking and we've both done Tuckerman's Ravine many times along with a few other trails in the Joe Dodge Lodge area. He...

Greetings - Going hiking July 5th on the Tuckerman Ravine Trail. I usually hike it every year with my son but two years ago he had some problems with his feet (growth issue) and last year the bridges were out so we opted for Low's Bald Spot. Can I assume that the bridges are complete? I did...

Greetings - I am staying at the Joe Dodge Lodge on the 4th of July and would like to hike this trail with my 13 year-old son. He has hiking experience and has hiked Tuckerman's with me with no trouble. This year we would like to hike something different and I chose Lowe's Bald Spot. My...

We seldom see headlines like this here in RI. Hopefully knowing the area from her past hiking and camping experiences she'll be found and be OK. http://www.providencejournal.com/news/20161201/searchers-remain-hopeful-they-will-find-woman-lost-in-arcadia-woods

Greetings - Just looking for some feedback from those of you who like to hike the Tuckerman Ravine Trail. Do you normally take the trail on the way down or do you prefer a different trail for descending?

I'll be camping there this weekend with my 8 year-old son. He's hiked in the WMNF before and loves it. We've done Mt. Willard three or four times and are looking for another trail in Crawford Notch. We did Arethusa Falls last year and have it on our list to do again. I've also got a few others...

God bless this guy for still hiking, many 82 year-olds are confined to a bed in a nursing home so I think it is great that this guy can still get out on the trails. However, I do think that at his age it is a bit dangerous for him to be on the trails alone. Hopefully this story has a happy...

Glad to see this won't be a problem any longer. I remember a previous owner who used to discourage hikers with the help of his two friends...Smith & Wesson. Still there are better trails in RI. http://news.providencejournal.com/breaking-news/2011/12/ri-to-purchase.html#.Tt4H5VYTCCs

I'll be staying in Jefferson for a week at the end of July. I've got some ideas for some day hikes in the area but I was wondering if any of you have any personal favorites. Something along RT 2 would be ideal. Also, does anybody have any favorite eating establishments in that area? Thanks.

Not looking to start a debate on hunting vs. hiking, I just thought I'd post this since it has to do with hiking and not much hiking news ever comes out of RI. Since RI is not a hiking state and we don't get much traffic on our hiking trails, I have to say that our trails (though uneventful)...

I apologize if there has already been a thread started on this. I'm not looking to start a gambling debate and I do want to keep this about hiking but I recently read the following on the Concord Monitor. Does anybody know what specific locations they are looking at? I am concerned about this...

Date of Hike: 11/27/2009 Trail Conditions: Mostly Dry, a little muddy in some areas but nothing that wasn't passable. Special Equipment Required: Orange hat since it is required this time of year by law. Hiking boots and poles are helpful. Comments: Probably one of the most scenic hikes in...

Good medical advice! http://www.projo.com/health/content/lb_HFIT_Medicating_with_Nature_12-06-09_M7GG6_v8.2334287.html

It's not really a lake; more like a pond. This hike was a bit more challenging that I thought it would be. At the very beginning there is a bit of an incline and a little bit of rock scrambling is involved. This made for a lot of fun for my young son. What really makes this hike though is that...

I did this hike last year but only got to spend about 30 seconds at the summit before black clouds rolled in and I had to hike down in a near flood. This year it was 180 degrees opposite. Nothing but sun all day! We took the Coot Trail both up and down. On the way up we'd stop and check out...

* Moved to trip reports.

Nice hike to do with young kids. I took my 5 y.o. son on this trail and he loved it. It's certainly not too strenuous and offers fantastic views into Crawford Notch. Parts of it were muddy but nothing that was impassable. There are also a few goodies on the way up like a nice waterfall to stand...

Making a trip to the Whites in a few weeks (last weekend in June) and I plan to hike Mt. Willard with my 5 y.o. son since I hear it's a good hike to do with kids. I'm reading about the Mt. Willard trail in two different hiking guides. One is AMC's Best Day Hikes In The White Mountains the other...
