***WARNING #1: Do not read this for trail conditions, it’s mostly about emotions and parenthood**** ***WARNING #2: My English is not perfect, I hope it won’t annoy you! *** First of all, it’s been a while since I’ve posted something here on VFTT, but I feel pretty good about sharing this...

Great conditions overall, the slide up Macomb was doable with microspikes but we did avoid an icy patch by going a bit into the woods. Broken path all the way, except for the return via Lilian Brook. The water was running freely, but the crossings were easily done by rock hoping. Amazing views...

Snow (cup), N. Kennebago Divide and Whitecap, Elephant the second day. Not much to say, except that the road conditions are excellent (Tim Pond, Wiggle, Lincoln, Morton cut-off etc). We had an Ford Edge, but my Yaris would have been just fine. We saw a lot of people fishing, and I was wearing...

I'm heading to this area (now that Sabrina had finish :p), with the idea of doing Snow, NKD and Whitecap in a day. Elephant is also on my radar. I found this : Guide of roads to Maine NEHH Boundary Peaks (AKA 6 pack) This is great ! Thanks Marc. Any recommendations ? Any update on road...

Does anyone has suggestions for great small hikes in the City of Angels area ? Pasadena is where I'll stay. We'll be with 8-10 years old, and it has to be maximum 4h RT. We would like to have views of the city and the ocean. Canyons, waterfalls, summits, it doesn't matter. Thanks !!! :)

Icy trail starting at elevation 2600', and full snow cover above 3000'. Snowshoes worked great, especially the blue ones ;). On the western slopes, going toward Ste Annes, there was occasional patches of snow and very little ice. Later that day I did North Dome and Sherrill, both have maybe a...

It was a little wet below, and hiked in a maximum of 5 inches of snow after the E.P. shelter, no ice. Boots only all the way, same as Pico and Mendon the day before. River crossings were not a problem either, we managed to hop on rocks and kept our feet dry. The Natural Turnpike road was not...

Google tells me the road to Breadloaf Trailhead (the Natural Turnpike -!) might be close during winter, can anyone tell me if that will be the case this weekend ? How about the northern approach ? How's the road condition, is it drivable with a non 4X4 car ? Thanks !

I got very lazy lately, and today I realized I never posted a TR for our day hike up Borah Pk, last highpoint of our summer vacations. We didn't ''Chicken Out'' on the ridge, but there was some moments I stopped breathing :o Overall it's a beautiful mountain, very fun to climb. A lot of people...

Granite was planned for months, but was suppose to be climbed after Borah(ID), so we would be more acclimatized and there would be less snow up there. We were already in Idaho when we checked the weather forecast, and saw four sunny icons for Cooke City MT… Anyone who once planned doing that...

(I got inspired by Trish ;) ) First HP of our 2010 summer trip was Utah. Prior to this, we decided to climb Twin Pks (American Fork) near Salt Lake City for acclimatation (my first real 4th class experience, awesome). Day 1 of our 3 days trip in the High Uintas Wilderness was a 10 miles...

I was waiting since April for an open gate on the Nash Stream Rd, and it turns out today was the first possible date for my NH100 finish. The trail is in good shape, some work have been done. Still few blowdowns but nothing major. No views though, it was a very wet day, all the way (I did...

There was snow all the way up in the morning, but it was melting pretty fast later. Still 4-5 feet deep on the ridge though, solid enough to hold my weight. Snowshoes all the way, sunglasses and sunscreen. Perfect moment to do that peak, I got very good views near the summit of Big Jay. 3,5h RT.

Hi everyone, I'm asking through here if anyone can help me get my camera back. I'm absolutely sure I dropped it at the Rattle River trailhead on rte 2 (AT jct), after my hike up Shelburne-Moriah. I really need that camera (Canon Powershot), the memory card in it has a huge value for me. If...

Day 1 Monday morning, Pinedale Wyoming. We've been planning this 6-day/48 miles backpacking trip for almost a year, and now it's time to start walking for real. The pack didn't seem that heavy on paper (250 Lbs/ 5 people), but everything is as planned : everybody is feeling good, the weather...

This year I decided not to wait for a group to invite me, and I organized a Baxter winter trip myself. We got in the park saturday the 28th, and the weather was perfect. We were a bunch of Quebecers, Meo, Jean & Nat, Motabobo are the ones known here, and the others, Karl, Dan, Suzie and...

Up the Marsten Tr after a road walk from Kidney Pond. The Tote Rd was easy to travel due to snowmobile traffic. From the jct with North Brother, there was absolutely no signs of winter hikers going that way. The markers are not always visible, but with the GPS we found our way. Pierre decided...

Date of Hike: January 17th, 2009 Route followed : Marble Mountain. Trail conditions : All broken. We were surprised to see a new sign showing the beginning of the herd path to Esther. Things have changed ! Special Equipment Required: Warm clothes, but no goggles/face mask. We saw a girl who...

Light snow on the ground saturday, but I guess a lot more now with the new accumulations. The Co road was ok to drive all the way to the trailhead that day. [email protected]

Date of Hike: Sunday Nov. 9, 2008 Trail Conditions: Good, but the crossings were a little bit tough. The trail disapear in Norcross Pond, because the high water level up there. After a short trip up Duck Pond, I said goodbye to my friend Karl and headed toward Nancy. It was 1:30pm, plenty of...
