Hi all, With the warm spring that we have experienced in New England, I'm wondering if any prognosticators out there (or those with recent experience) have an idea when the ideal time to head up to the Alpine Gardens Trail would be this year. Thanks!

A hiker got lost in Franconia Notch, apparently set out to do an overnighht Franconia Ridge loop. He was able to TM his girlfriend to ask for help... http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/15321216/detail.html He was FOUND according to a later tv news report.

I've got to go out to W Mass this weekend but am looking to take a little side trip (w/ my 9 month old girl.) Does anyone have any experience hiking in the Quabbin Reservoir area?
