Ok, we want this to count so walking we will go (or wait until August if that's the groups consensus). And no surveyors tape. I can't believe you actually remember that thread. As always on this list, a diverse and thought-provoking list of responses. Ciao, Pat

As we all know, Sawyer River Road is closed to vehicular traffic and won't be open until August. I am planning on climbing Vose Spur in a week or so. My question is this, is it legal to ride a bicycle to the trailhead on Sawyer River Road or do we have to walk those extra miles in order for the...

So glad to hear that. Sorry I missed seeing this until now. Hope to meet you on the trail sometime. Pat

Nancy and I have a free day and are thinking about hiking tomorrow. Temps look like they will be 10-20 degrees above normal. And, yes, the wind will be picking up. So probably no ridge walking tomorrow. What I'm really questioning is the snow quality with temps that warm. Will the snow stay...

Aaron, I believe the date is April 14, 2012. Pat

Thanks! Yes, we have scoured the Net for trail info. Was hoping someone had actually made the trip and lived to tell about it. :) p2

My hiking partner, Wowser, and I are attempting the Lava Falls Scramble, a 1.5 mile steep, nasty scramble down 2,450 feet from the north rim to the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Last year we made it down maybe .5 before we took a wrong turn and ended up traversing a cinder wash that nearly...

Good morning, I have been trying to find a comprehensive guide to the Adirondack 46 similar to the wonderful book written by Smith and Dickerman. Anyone know of a comparable guide? Thanks, Pat

Date: May 9, 2009 Trail Conditions: We went up Old Bridle Trail - trail in good shape, no snow to speak of until after the Greenleaf Hut. Did not use traction. No snow/ice above tree line. Wet ice and soft snow on Falling Waters - traction and poles were very helpful. Lots of melting - muddy...

:eek: Date of Hike: 1/10/09 Trail Conditions: First part of the trail was packed out - once we got to the ravine we were breaking trail. Where the trail turns sharply left there was three feet of drifted unconsolidated unbroken snow. Snowshoes couldn't grab so we changed to crampons and were...

Can anyone tell me if Base Road to Marshfield Station is plowed/open? The WMNF Forest Road Status site shows it as closed - it also states that the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail Head Parking is closed. Is there any access to Washington from the west in winter? P.S. I did search because I thought...
