My daughter has informed me she wants to finish the 48 this summer which means around 20 peaks to go. It also means her Dad has a free pass to go hiking most weekends (yeah!). Her current trail shoes are a bit worse for wear and need to be replaced. I was hoping for some recommendations from...

I was wondering if I need any traction\snow shoes for Eisenhower or Pierce (probably Eisenhower). I plan on going up Saturday morning and would like to know how much of the snow is left up top and if the monorail is still in tact. If anyone is interested we will probably be heading out around...

I am looking for some advice on which summit to take a group of eight high school kids up next week. They are going to stay at the AMC Highlands "Hotel" Thursday night and we will hit the trail Friday morning. All have some experience, are in good condition, and have the proper equipment. In...

Has anyone been up Chocorua in the last week and if so which trails? I am thinking of taking the family out on Sunday and would prefer not to have any surprises it being Mother's Day and all :) Any status on stream crossings, snow pack, etc

I have an opportunity to go to Hawaii in March for business and was considering adding a couple of days to see the sights. One thing I would like to do is go for a hike, preferably with some elevation gain and views, but could use some help if anyone has any experience or resources. If time...

Jazzbo and I will be doing the Carters on Saturday. Game plan is to meet at the trail head for Imp, head up to North Carter Trail, continue on to Carter Moriah, Carter Dome, and back down 19 mile Brook Trail to Route 16. 12.4 miles if we don't spot a car and have to walk the 1.6 miles back up...

Was wondering if anyone was making plans to go out on the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving in the Whites to work off the turkey dinner. Would be open to just about any day hike that provided some elevation gain and views.

Well, I finally got around to finishing the 48s on Saturday by summiting Galehead. My daughter accompanied me and with the exception of some stream crossings that presented some difficulty for her, the trip was largely uneventful. There was a covering of snow along the entire route, but no...

I am down to three peaks for the 48 and have decided to get organized and finish in the next week or two. Whiteface is on the list, any suggestions on trails and does anyone want to tag along? Time and dates are flexible.

Okay, I know this is last minute but my hiking partner just bailed on me due to a work conflict, so I wanted to see if anyone wanted to go up Washington either via Lions Head or Huntington and maybe down Boot Spur on Saturday. At the moment the weather looks good, cool temps and sunshine. I am...

Was thinking about going out and hitting either Moriah, Tecumseh, Waubmek, or maybe Whiteface on Saturday. Would like to know if anyone has done any of these lately and\or is interested in joining me. Would probably want to be on the trail by 8 AM if possible.

I am thinking of going up the Glenside trail. I know there is a fair amount of snow higher up, but was wondering if anyone had been up this week and what the conditions were. Didn't see anyone post yet. If not Moosilauke, how about the Kinsmans or Cannon?

I heard a rumor that the land owner is now allowing hikers access to the Cabot trail. Can anyone confirm this or do you still need to take the longer route?

Anyone interested in doing Huntington on Saturday the 23rd? I am doing a hike for the Mt Washington Observatory and haven't done this trail yet. Probably would meet at Pinkham and head up around 7 AM? Time is negotiable.

A group of us did a traverse of the Presis on Saturday going north to south. We started up Valley Way at 4:30 AM and made it to the Madison summit around 6:30 AM. The weather was clear with a light breeze. The views from Madison, Adams, and Jefferson, and Clay were great. As we headed up...

A group of us are going to try and dodge the thunderstorms and do a Presi traverse on Saturday and I would like some feedback on what constitutes an "official Presi traverse" I know this is somewhat subjective , but would appreciate a consensus. Does Jackson need to be done or can you skip it...

I've always wanted to go Huntington Ravine Trail, but I don't want to fight any residual snow or water on the headwall. Has anyone been up there recently and as a side note does anyone know if the alpine garden is in bloom yet? Any suggestions or feedback on the trail would be appreciated.

Can someone tell me where the parking area is for the Valley Way trailhead? I will be coming over from the west on Route 2. I am hoping to get in a hike this weekend up there. Also, if anyone has been up Madison, Adams, Jefferson recently, can you provide some info on the trail, I didn't see...

I need to start getting in some trail time and was thinking of Owls Head since I haven't done it yet. Does anyone know if there are any stream crossings I need to be concerned about if I come in from the Kanc? Also, if anyone was interested, I was thinking of next Friday or Saturday.
