    Owls head trail

    Leading a trip to Owls Head 19/20th. Does anyone have a gps track (that would ideally show Black Pond bushwhack and 'true' summit')? I've been there before, and used Black Pond bushwhack... but a gps tack as backup in case of issues would be nice.) Also if anyone else has thoughts about 'safe'...

    Owls Head higher summit

    Coords of true Owls Head Summit? "Upon his return Dr. Dasypodidae will post gps lat/long for the two points that were measured." - They don't seem to have been posted... at least to this thread. 2014 and I'm getting ready to go back to Owls Head for the 4th time... (and 3rd since higher...

    Stinson Mountain 4/18/2010

    3" of snow at the trailhead. 6" at the summit. We bare booted up and down without issues. (We carried an assortment of microspikes, and other gear, but didn't have any slipping issues, so never put them on.)

    Morgan-Percival Loop -Trails Claosed

    Tried to hike Morgan-Percival loop in the Squam range today (4/18/2010). Got to the trailhead and found the gates locked, other parking lots roped off and big "Trails Closed" signs. The area is run by Squam Lakes Association, and they decided to close the area during the mud season. I just...

    Bonds trip from hell, March 12, Winter peaks 46 & 47

    Congratulations! From Bob & Bobby, who met you near the start of the Bondcliff Trail as you were coming in, and we were heading on out. I almost got a branch in the ear Thursday when we were climbing Bondcliff. Fortunately I had my hat over my ears, and the branch could only stick in part...

    I did Owl's Head because...

    Owls head again and again and again I did Owl's Head c. 1969 as part of NH 4Ks. (Then they 'discovered' and 'forgot' the higher peak.) Did it again about 1998 as part of my sons NH 4ks. Did it again a few years back, (as part of finishing 4Ks a 3rd time) just a couple weeks before someone...

    Questions about Squam Range in the Winter

    I've hiked, and led hikes on, the Squam Range (Morgan through Doublehead) quite a few times over the past few years. Nice 'easy' hike for beginners, and for a spring warm-up. (and I love the Percival cave in the spring when there's still snow in it!) Now I'm planning to lead a hike there in...

    VFTT (and Owl's Head) make the local news

    True Summit! Just my luck. I just climbed (July 11) Owl's Head (for the third time as part of my NH 4ks for a third time), and now you're telling me I've really never climbed it at all ;-) Oh well, I guess I'll have to go back again... someday. (But only once more, I'm not climbing it...
