Followed up Gore with this PM hike. This trail was not muddy at all. Almost a sidewalk in the lower portions. Steeper near the top with some erosion issues. No register found in this cabin. Firetower in great shape with extraordinary views. Roundtrip time of 2 Hours 5 min. Gamehiker Jim from...

Trail is well blazed but quite muddy. The moose use this trail on a regular basis. The white blazes and some of the terrain reminded me of the AT. One stream crossing moderately difficult but found well placed rocks just downstream. The register is new, placed in March of 09. Bob Packard was...

Despite the ominous weather forecast Sadie the dog and I headed North to do these remote Maine 3k's that I've waited a long time to do. Road conditions are generally good except for the stretch of Wiggle Brook Road between the 2 Cupsuptic Pond Roads. Still it was passable and I made it to the...

Mark did a trail conditions report on our trip but I will add some observations here. Day 1 Mark, Phil, Dave and myself met in Stratton at 7 AM and took all 4 cars up to the West Branch Road. Our plan was to camp Sat. night but all the good sites were taken. So we drove in the West Branch...

Rt 113 is closed between Chocorua and Tamworth. Makes the trip to Ferncroft a lot longer. Does anyone have any info on how long it will be closed? NH DOT website was no help at all!

After a weekend of rain I was certainly chomping at the bit to get out and yesterday was the perfect weather day to do so. Beaver Mountain The approach was easy from Cross Town Road off Rt. 17. (Large Bull Moose sighting on 17 just South of turnoff) The newest Delorme shows a bridge out on the...

My last trip into the Barnjum Valley. Sigh! If all the logging roads were this good it would be too easy. I followed Barnjum Road .9 Miles past the Farmer-Abraham Road and parked on the left were a woods road forks off. Left the car by 9AM. I followed the woods road for about 1.5 miles or so...

After waiting out Saturday's storms at home I headed out Sunday morning with a promising forecast and was not disappointed. I headed West on the Spencer Road from Rt. 201 and just after the 17 mile marker I turned right on a smaller logging road and followed it around to below the col of the two...

For the first time in 6 weeks Sadie joined me. I figured these two were dog friendly and they were. I followed Kurt and Mark's directions from 3 weeks ago although I'm sure I went some places that they didn't. The logging road in was in decent shape. The parking place is exactly 7 Miles in from...

Papa Bear's report and pictures on these peaks were excellent so I won't bore everyone with too much detail. I will say that I found both jars, Barker at 10:15 AM and Twin Peaks at 1:10 PM. My route to Twin Peaks was a little different. Thanks to Kurt (Onestep) for his directions. I left the...

Thanks to dms and Jim C for showing the way to Middle Abe. I was able to drive almost to the col. 45 Mins. after leaving my car I was on top. The hardest part of the "whack" were the raspberries in the "clear cut". Otherwise you can't call that a whack. Back to the car by 10:10 AM I was able to...

Since there have been many reports on Baxter lately I'll make this short. Day 1 Coe - Brothers Loop Camped at Nesowadnehunk, short drive to the Marston trailhead. On the trail by 7:45. Rained overnight and overcast in the AM so I went up the Coe Slide. Coe was mostly socked in with occasional...

After a much needed day of rest for both of us Sadie and I headed back into Canada to try Boundary Peak again. This time was successful as we walked along the swath taking in the "local scenery" and summiting Boundary Peak. The man at the gate house keeps saying there are no views from Boundary...

Day 1 of planned 4 day excursion. More on that later. Drove 1.5 Miles up Bear Brook Road and parked. Started out at 10:00 for Whitecap. Had no problem with the road-herdpath until reaching the eastern plateau on top and finally figured out that I needed to backtrack a little. After doing...

In my continued quest to find the most obscure and remote peaks possible I offer up these 3. Marble Mountain, Saddle Hill, and Kibby Range South Peak. My original goal was to do Boundary and Monument Peaks from Zec Louise Gosford. When I arrived at the gate house the gatekeeper said the...

I'm a little confused about this one. When I section hiked the AT I climbed up from Orbeton Stream to a distinct summit called Lone Mountain. The elevation was listed at 3200' and from there it was a slight downhill to the Abraham side trail. Topozone shows Lone Mt. as over 3400 feet and south...
