Starting from the parking area the trail was icy most of the way with a light dusting of snow. My friend had a pair of yak-tracks (sp?) and I initially tried without traction control but 10 minutes in it was evident that my crampons were needed. I put them on and didn't take them off. My friend...

I was thinking of maybe doing a similar trip this weekend. Could you tell me what the trail conditions were?

As usual, you always manage to capture the best shots of any trip to the mountains. These are no exceptions, awesome all around!

Thank you all for your suggestions. Not sure which one i'll go with yet, but since i'm not going to be doing this trip for a few weeks at least i'll have time to think it over. i'm thinking riding the moose idea might top the list :p we'll see.

There is a trip I want to do but I'm not sure how to do it with only one car. My plan is to hike from Gorham to Pinkham Notch to hop over Moriah, the Carters, and the Wildcats as a solo trip. I'm wondering if anyone else has down this trip and how? Any thoughts or reccomendations on this would...

Couldn't have asked for a better day. Got it all started about quarter to 6 in the morning after a restful night's sleep in the car and a hot bowl of oatmeal with banana bread to wake up to. The Lincoln Woods Trail is exactly how its described: FLAT. Never have i seen a straighter trail than...

I went and did Isolation 2 weeks ago when the forecast called for rain in the afternoon possibly and a 30% chance of that. Instead I wake up ant the trailhead around 3 or 4 in the morning to pitter-patter on the roof of the car and it rained all day long. Since then, the threat has been there...

I have an '05 CR-V and withe the seats folded down and forward you have just a hiar over 3 feet in height to work with and closer to 4 feet in length. It has come in handy when I've moved (or helped others move) from one apartment to another. If you are sleeping in the front seats, long as you...

What helped us out this time around was the humidity keeping the threat of hypothermia down. I just wish I could have had coverings for the hands then I would have been completely comfortable besides the gallon of water/mudd in my shoes lol.

Talk about a polar opposite weather forecast. Me and my friend Corey left Manchester Saturday evening around 8 PM with the forecast of 70's and sunny skies with a chance of thuderstorms Sunday afternoon. At the rate we hike we'd be avoiding that rain easily so we drove up 93 to the Kank then up...

I have a 2005 Honda CR-V and it has worked great for me thus far. Its got great ground clearance and the front seats fold down to sleep 2. Discovered placing a jacket or 2 folded up where the front seats pivot makes it flatter so when placing a sleeping pad under the sleeping bag makes it...

I'll have to remember that for the next time I hit this area. Having not climbed up a rock slide before I didn't want to risk it alone not knowing what to expect. Having now looked at it first hand from above its not as bad as i was picturing. In fact, looks like fun hehe. :D

In Lincoln, Half Baked was mentioned and that is a great place for coffee and snacks. There is also the Gypsie Cafe in Lincoln off 112 that I'd recommend. Prices are decent and the food very tasty. And in Woodstock, I'd recommend the Woodstock Inn. Plenty of variety for whatever you are in the...

Finally got the chance to do the trip I wanted to do last fall that I was forced to turn around on. Trying to do stream crossings in high water and 30 degree temps didn't match too well back then. This day however with low water and temps in the 50's to start, warming to the 70's eventually...

Granted some of these trails are easy to follow without the need for blazes, doesn't this sound just a bit dangerous? I mean we all read about people getting lost already and this is only going to compound the issue. I could be wrong because there are a fair amount trails listed that I...

I know when i was up there 2 weeks ago it wasn't that bad. I barebooted to Whiteface using snowshoes for the last .1 or .2 miles maybe (around the Kate Sleeper Trail junc.) Coming down stabilicers could be useful but going up there should be no problem. Not sure if you're planning on going...

Sounds like a typical Massachusetts road project to me. Taking far longer than it really needs to and costing way too much. Go figure. You'd tihnk some people would put in incentives to get things done at a faster rate.

Be glad you didn't go to Rollins Trail for whatever reason. Beyond Whiteface was a blowdown mess with no trail evident anywhere. Sounds like Dicey's Mill would have been a better decent compared to backtracking the way I came which was Blueberry Ledge. Oh well. Glad I wasn't the only one having...

Not a bad day, but it could have been better..... I drove up to the Ferncroft parking lot Friday night and camped out in my car to have a early going the next morning. Got halfway there before realizing I left my camera on my desk at home! Good thing my head is attached or I'd forget that...

Looking for a moderate hike without snow or little amounts of snow. I'm looking for suggestions to do a hike that doesn't have snow on the trails but it also long in distance (say max of 12 miles round trip if there is a lot of elevation gain, longer if more flat terrain). I'm sure I'm not the...
