Looks like the NH DOT is looking into doing something about parking on the shoulders of I 93 in the notch. They're looking ahead to summer 2018. Here is a link to the survey they are doing: https://www.nh.gov/dot/ I have parked on the shoulder on occasion, and honestly, I never felt it to be...

http://video.nhptv.org/video/2365882843/ The show will air a number of times beginning on November 9. It will be shown on NH PBS and on Boston's Channel 2, I believe. Many of us had the pleasure of hiking with Willem Lange when the program was being filmed. Click on the picture to watch...

My daughter lost a hiking pole somewhere in the vicinity of Mt Jackson while hiking for Flags on the 48. It is a REI Traverse, purple and silver with a brown handle. Any help appreciated! Please email [email protected] Thanks

Beautiful, beautiful snow for x-c or snowshoeing! Thanks to whoever broke trail.

We drove back to MA from North Conway yesterday and stopped to see the high water on the Basin Cascades Trail. Couldn't believe the damage at the Basin (forgive my computer skills - I think they will enlarge if you click on them) This is the main Basin itself. Note the log through the...

What do we have for snow in Waterville Valley? Along the Kanc at lower elevations? Thanks in advance!

From FS website - "The current Greeley Ponds Trail closure, which extends from Lower Greeley Pond to the former Knights Bridge location in the vicinity of the Timber Camp Trail junction, will be extended to the Greeley Ponds Trail’s junction with Livermore Trail. This closure will be in effect...

Here's a photo taken in 2009 - A photo taken last week from roughly the same spot - Did Irene wash away the beaver dams? We asked at the hut, but this year's croo didn't seem to know.

My husband and I will be travelling from Gettysburg PA home to the Boston area. We'd like to break up the trip by spending a night in the Pocono area. - Any suggestions for 2-4 hour hikes in that area? - Is Highpoint State Park worth a visit? - If we drive home thru the Water Gap, which side...

My husband and I recently took a trip out west - Boston to Denver to Grand Junction, CO, a really nice town. Next morming we drove thru the CO National Monument to Moab, UT. We visited Arches NP, Canyonlands NP, and Dead Horse State Park (skip this one!). Here's a link to pictures of the hike...

http://www.rei.com/product/812552/mountainsmith-daylight-waistpack Having had 2 surgeries on a lumbar disc, I'm looking for a new pack. The folks at REI suggested carrying more weight on the hips rather than the shoulders to avoid compression on the spine. Asked my PT about this and she had...

Here are 2 relatively new adventure books well worth reading. The Ledge by Jim Davidson is about an accident on Mt Rainier. Some technical stuff on ice climbing, which I glazed over, but others on this board would probably find very interesting. I enjoyed reading about the author's life...

A friend is coming up from CT for a weekend to train in the Whites for Kilimanjaro. She’s looking for mileage and elevation gain. She will be hiking with my daughters who will do Franconia ridge with her if the weather is good. They need a foul weather alternative – something sheltered from...

Paving resumed Thursday, 5/17, with sign saying to expect long delays. Road is down to one lane with north and south traffic taking turns. Hopefully they don't work on weekends. It certainly was slow on Thursday.

We will be in Holyoke MA this weekend and would like to hike in Mt Tom Reservation. I have AMC MA Guide and map, but it does not say if there is parking where the M-M crosses Rte 141. Also, does anyone know how far south on Rte 141 the trail is from the intersection of Christopher Clark Rd and...

The Forest Service lists this trail as closed after Irene, but is that still true? I'd appreciate any info - looking for an easy snowshoe as I recover from a knee replacement! Thanks.

Our daughters are doing the Komen for the Cure Snowshoe Romp on 1/28 and are looking for a good snowshoe hike the following day. Looking for suggestions for 3-4 miles with moderate elevation gain and near Stratton. We are not at all familiar with the area. Thanks!
