I just wanted to make a quick post to say thanks to all the kind people we (Dakota and I) met on the trail this past weekend. It was Dakota's first overnight hiking experience and I think he enjoyed it a lot. I know he may have growled while wagging his tail at a few people along the trail...

Thanks for the input! Thanks for the input everyone. I was a little concerned about the parking situation in Franconia Notch...as its been ages since I've been there and I don't remember where the trailhead parking is actually located. Sounds like it should be a good trip. Redd :D

With the recent posted related to the Pemi wilderness and my abundant time off right now (unemployed), I'd like to get up there this coming week for a traverse and some peak baggin'. I'm thinking along the lines of a hike from Liberty Springs parking area to either Zealand Trailhead or Crawford...

If it was me... I traversed the great range a few years back starting down in the valley between St. Huberts and Keane Valley...heading all the way up to Haystack. IMHO, I think you may prefer the trek up to LWJ, UWJ, Armstrong, Gothics, and then heading down. The most vertical gain and loss...

Thanks for all the input I kind of figured that a dog would be a more ‘natural’ deterrent for curious/hungry wildlife…not to say that this is by any means an excuse for not properly setting up a bear bag. The points are well taken with a dog that is not well train…ie, runs after animals. My...

With all the talk about the impending regulations requiring the use of bear canisters in 'Dacks, I have a question of similar orientation. Having had a food bag of mine taken some 6 years ago at Lake Colden (I'll admit stupidity on my part), that night there was a family camping across the damn...

Bushwhack - To Dial or Nippletop?? A year ago or so I was interested in a circuit hike around Elk Lake, but was uncertain as to the bushwhack from Hunter Pass. Which direction is the best to bushwhack out of Hunter Pass - towards Dial or Nippletop? OR If one were to be doing a loop hike out...

Thanks for the 'Heads-Up'! I feel like a nim-whit for not knowing that the AMR does not allow pets on their lands. Thanks, so much for the warning. I'll have to rethink the whole trailhead option, etc. I've been into Lake Colden several times from several directions. Maybe that's my best...

I haven't posted on the forum in a long time and I even had to cancel a winter backpacking trip this past year as I was just too busy finishing my PhD at Penn State and planning my wedding & honeymoon for April. Now we (my bride and I) have relocated to Maryland - even further away then central...
