Looking to finish my winter 48 this season and I have just Eisenhower left. I've got 3-4 possible dates when I can get out again. PM me if you might be interested in joining for this winter hike.

The camera isn't important, but the pictures are priceless. I brought my daughter backpacking on the Long Trail and the last picture was at the trailhead at the ed of our hike where she found trail magic. So after that I went straight across the street and to my car. Now it is missing. If found...

My husband, 5 year old and I will be in N. Conway Saturday June 7th, and I'm planning a kid's hike I'm email those of you who've previously told me you're interested once I work out the details, but if you are free and think you might want to join this one PM me. :)

I've been searching trip reports for snow free hikes to lead a few kids and found nothing, not a surprise with all the snow I saw in MWV a couple week ago, plus last week's snow and ice. But today we went ahead and hiked our first 100% snow free trail of the season. Three kids and four parents...

Today we hiked North Sugarloaf. When we parked at the first parking area 1 mile up Zealand Road, we got out of the car and saw a xc ski trail. Our 4 year old, Pink Eagle, after being bundled up took off running down that trail. We followed. In less than 5 minutes we were at a campground and...

The Green Mountain Club is hosting its annual Winter Trails Festival Feburary 1, 2014. My family and I went to this last year, and it was great fun! This is an all day event held at the Green Mountain Club Headquarters in Waterbury, VT. There are little hikes on location and "real" hikes short...

I'm trying to plan a family hike in the Zealand area. Has anyone been to Zealand Road recently? The web site states the road is open, but it hasn't been updated since May. Thanks.

I met Odyssa aka Jennifer Pharr Davis on her AT hike in '05. She holds the unofficial speed record for doing the Appalachian Trail - 2,200 miles in 46 days, 11 hours, and 20 minutes. We kept in touch a bit so I know she is now touring the northeast and NY on a book tour for her 2nd book, Called...

We've had plans to hike the Baldfaces originally for my birthday/ Father's Day weekend for months. When the weekend arrived (along with enviously beautiful weather) deadlines at work postposted our trip. The only make-up weekend in sight was this one. We had hoped for good weather all week. So...

I'm planning a two day loop hike of the Baldfaces. Does anyone who's been there know if there are places for a two person tent between South and North Baldface? The guidebook describes some sheltered places. Would the ledges be suitable for a tent (like Pine Mtn.)? I know about S. Baldface...

I'm planning a kids' hike for the last week in June. It could be Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on what others can do and somewhere in southern NH. I've done these hikes the past three years with friends with young ones. Usually one or two families make it. I know there are folks here with kids...

Tripyramids via Pine Bend Brook Trail, 4-27-13 Trail Conditions:Trail is free of snow and wet in places down low. All in our large group put on light traction about a 1/4 of the way up. Snow was firm in the morning, softening as the beautifully warm day went on. There are still several feet of...

Started at the Waterville Valley Trailhead, first and only hiker car in the lot. Trail was in good shape with snow after a couple of minutes hiking. Stream crossings were no trouble in hiking shoes with poles. I wore microspikes from just before the view after the last stream crossing to the...

Hello, I'm looking to buy a little kid size sleeping bag that works for backpacking, not something from Pottery Barn Kids or with princesses or super heroes. I just a ordered a kid sized one (REI Kindercone) and when it arrived it's huge -looks great for a ten year old, I'd guess. Fits kids to...

Found a single North Face mitt while on the Pudding Pond/ Peaked Mountain kiosk. It was there all day, so I thought I'd post here. You can let me know by PM or email mugicam at yahoo dot com if you have the matching size, color, etc.

Pemi Loop, Friday July 6, 2012 Part 1 After organizing a babysitter, my husband Gig aka The Anti-Zen and I headed up to Lincoln to the Hancock Campground Thursday night. We set our alarms, watches and phones for 3:30 AM and slept in the back of his Honda Element which was actually kinda...

Hello, Two of us are going out for our 1st pemi loop this weekend. We decided on clockwise and are shooting for 14 hours or better, starting very early and jogging when possible. I've run the Wapack Trail, 21 miles in 5 hours so I'm hoping this is doable. We got a babysitter for the day and want...

Trails were dry and excellently maintained, not a blown down to be stepped over or ducked under. Bugs not biting yet. Tolerable at the summits if you keep moving. Heard Bicknell's thrush. Tame male spruce grouse displaying just down the trail past Waumbek. Busy trail today, full parking lots...

Hi, I'm backpacking this summer and a friend is joining me for a four days, 3 nights. She has never backpacked before. One question I couldn't answer for her was about her contacts. She can't see without them. Should she just bring glasses? Is it possible to backpack with contacts and keep them...

May 12, 2012 Trail Conditions: Trail is in great shape all around- no blowdowns, solid footing, dry enough. Some wet/ muddy areas near beaver ponds and waterfalls are easily rock hopped. Lingering snow is almost nil. All but one slushy monorail is gone and that one was short- three steps and...
