I saw a lot of people drinking directly out of Thoreau falls and ethan pond this weekend.:eek: I have always used a filter. I guess my question is what are these people thinking? Also, from a gear standpoint, I would be interested in hearing thoughts on the water filter bottles - Katadyn has...

I am going up to the whites this weekend. I like to make elaborate meals except in black fly season. Thanks in advance. Jim

I am thinking about doing a three day two nighter in a 4 weeks and I have seen this trip discussed before. Does anyone have a recommended approach to this. The ideal situation would be to start and end at hancock campground, however, we may have another car so a different starting point may be...

Dry River Trail (11/6) - Night Entry - Light frosting, river crossings fairly easy, very cold night - 20 degree bag questionable. :eek: Dry River Cut Off (11/7) to Mizpah Springs Hut (Nauman Tent Site) - nice walk, mild river crossing (a little icey). No special equipment required. Mizpah...

Could use some suggestions. I have done most everything worth doing in the whites. Eventually, I will plow through the remaining list, but for now, I have an interest in covering Evan's Notch for a two night trip. I have done baldface and am not dying to go back. I am more interested in...

I realize this is off topic for the site but I have a lot of respect for people's opinions on this site. I have young kids - 7, 6, 4. I was thinking about skiing Tenny Mountain this winter and I wanted to get anyone's thoughts on the place. thanks in advance.

6/27 - Muddy, slippery, high water in places requiring boot removal. Recommend poles and gaiters. Bugs were ok.

Ok. Last weekend was the annual June backpack with my brother in law. See Whiteface / Tripyramid June 19 - 20, 2009 under Trip Reports A last minute cancellation has presented an opportunity for my wife and I to go on our first backpacking weekend trip. In Friday afternoon out Sunday...

First of all, I want to thank all that contributed to my thread "Rain all Weekend". As always, I received some pretty good advice: "stay in bed" "you don't know what the weather will be like until you get to the trailhead". "watch out for stream crossings" 6/18 - We arrrived in Lincoln...

If you are going in for two nights with a high chance of steady rain all weekend, no views, slipper rocks, where do you go?:(

Going in on Thursday night out Sunday at noon. Would like to hit Whiteface, see Flat mountain pond, Passaconaway, and maybe the Trips and/or Osceola. For those that have attempted something like this. Any trail suggestions? I looked up some stuff on the site but could not locate a trip report...

I was looking at google earth today and noticed a stream that appears to split West Bond and Bondcliff. Is it possible to follow that all the way up to West Bond or does it get too steep to climb? Has anyone attempted it or found another way?:confused:

I am planning a trip to Grand Tetons National Park in Sept. I would expect to be b/w 8K and 9.7k the majority of the trip with an occassional stop above 10k (all camping in the 9k range). I have read the recommendations to drink a lot of water, possibly take dimox, and try to acclimate...

Can anyone give me a quick answer as to how reasonable it is to find a place to set up a tent within this area if the Perch tentsites are filled up? Assuming, of course, that I am outside of a 1/4 mile and furher than 200 yards from the trailhead. I am driving up tonight...any help is greatly...

To save everyone's time I will make this brief. I am coming in late friday night. I need a place to crash at the trailhead or a place two miles in. There is a possibility that we may go in Saturday morning early rather than friday night. I need the EASIEST trip including campsites (not...

Below is Mt. Washington's report for Saturday. The last part is concerning. If you are camping at 2,000 to 3,000 feet what should I be prepared for. zero degree bag going to cut it if I can avoid the wind? thoughts? :( Low pressure departing the Ohio River Valley this morning will continue...

I am looking for the easiest access to a winter shelter on the last weekend in March that would afford me the opportunity to bag at least one 4000 footer. I realize we will not know the weather conditions for another week or so, however, I would assume cramptons (hoping no need for snowshoes)...

Work is killing me! Wife and kids are gone for the weekend and I need a one night backpacking trip - I will either go in Friday night and out saturday afternoon, or in saturday morning and out very early Sunday morning. I could go both nights if I wanted to. I have a lot of flexibility except...
