Doing Hedgehog soon via UNH trail... wondering the pros and cons of going clockwise or counter-clockwise? Would like to see some thoughts about the best way. Thanks! Will probably add Potash afterwards also.

Well since I finished my 48 NH 4,000's last year, I have been going off the grid and trying to do my "bucket list" hikes of either peaks I want to do or simply trails I missed that I want to do. When I "bagged" Flume and Liberty some years ago, I did it with a friend and carspot to hike...

So this has been on my to-do list for years. Now that I have finished the 48 4,000 footers, this is priority #1 for this season and probably my next hike. But I have 2 particular questions for people who have hiked this before... #1. What is the difference between the trails that run parallel...

I have already done the Tri's via North and South slide and wanted to do them by parking at Sabbaday, hiking up the Kanc for a mile and going up Pine Bend and descending Sabbaday... I am just wondering how tough the water crossings are? Sounds like between the 2 trails, there are many. Kinda...

I was traveling from NH on Rt 26 into Maine and goes right thru Grafton Notch State Park. There are a few noted waterfall and short hike parking spots for Screw Auger Falls and a couple others... BUT... As I was driving, if you look up towards the right side of the road about midway up the...

Have long had the Wildcats on my mind and a few other times I wanted to do them, it was crappy weather so I waited for a nice dry day. So glad I did after taking much advice from these boards and more as that initial Wildcat Ridge Trail from 16 is a steep climb up! Did this with my hiking...

I didn't see this anywhere on this site but this article was in last Sundays Concord Monitor... "Hanover Sexually charged messages alarm hiking community Appalachian Trail logbooks targeted by John Wolper Valley News When Stephen Arkwright and Kathy Manning entered the West Hartford Village...

Planning on doing Cabot soon. The map I have shows 2 parking spots. The first just after a gate labeled Berlin Fish Hatchery which looks like the Mill Brook Tr. The second is further up that road where it looks like I would rather park. Where the Unknown Pond Tr starts. First of all, what...

Parked in Passaconaway Rd lot The Albany Covered Bridge is open which is the west turnoff from the Kanc onto Passaconaway (Dugway) Rd so this was nice and save me some time from going all the way around. Started at 8:40 Hit South Moat around 10:30 Awesome peak Many false peaks towards the top...

I had a few hours free this morning of Mothers Day so decided on a quick-hitter hike. Had heard many good things over the years about Stinson Mountain in Plymouth/Rumney, NH Nice easy drive to the Stinson Mountain Trailhead parking. Started at 10:15am Made it to the 0.9 mark where the old...

Anyone know if Passaconaway Road is open? And is the parking for Moat Mountain Trail open? Thinking of going this route for an out and back or South and Middle Moats and maybe dabble along Red Ridge if I want to go that far out. Have never driven on or even see that road though which is off...

So I have been going back and forth for years now on purchasing a GPS for hiking trails in NH. But usually after researching and reading user reviews, there is always negative feedback and most are convoluted and not easy to use if you don't know what you are doing as a first timer with these...

Perfect day and trails all in perfect shape. Parked at Miller State Park. Up Wapack Tr to summit South Pack Continued on Wapack to North Pack Cliff Tr to Wapack and back to South Pack Marion Davis Tr down That initial stretch of Wapack from Miller State Park to South Pack was awesome. Fun on...

Up Ted's Trail was in great condition. A few spots of leftover ice/snow towards the top but easily bare booted around. Cliff Trail perfect. Down Carolyn's Trail, same report as Teds with just a few spots to take extra care stepping around. Overall, regular boots stayed dry and not much mud...

I have yet to knock Wildcat off my list but it is on my soon to-do list now. I probably won't have a car spot for 19MBT exit so I was thinking of parking at Pinkham Notch, taking that Lost Pond Tr to Wildcat Ridge Tr. I know Wildcat Ridge Trail is challenging from everything I have read, but...

Absolutely could not pass up this perfect picturesque Saturday for hiking and set my sights on checking off two more 4,000 footers off my list. I chose Middle and South Carter for #'s 43 and 44. Left Concord area around 4:45am for the 1 hour 45 minute drive thru the Notch and Twin Mountains...

I was thinking about doing Middle and South Carter and was thinking about getting to them by checking out Imp Face first which I have never done. #1 - Is that a good route? #2 - Looking at the map, it shows the 'P' for parking it looks like a little ways up the road off 16? The 'P' doesn't...

Since many of you here have hiked all the 48, I figured I would pose the question of which of my 6 peaks left should I save for last? When I started, I did not necessarily start out towards the goal of hiking all 48. I just wanted to hike the best with the top notch views. So I didn't think...

Wondering what everyone uses as a red line map of the White Mountains? Is there an obvious best one? I have a bunch of maps but none seem to be perfect so I may be missing a good map I need to run out and buy. Preferably, I would like the map to display on a wall so to be one-sided and display...

Still waiting for snow and ice to melt on the big White Mountain peaks, so thought Sandwich Dome would be a good new trip to try. Parked at Sandwich Mtn Tr/Drakes Brook Tr lot. First car in the lot at 7:45am. 8am - Got started and hiked with my 74 yr old ex father-in-law and made our way down...
