Hiked the Wapack from Old Mt. Road to Miller State Park (5.2 miles) last night with a partner and a dog. 15 degrees. No running water anywhere. Left a car at Miller State Park parking lot, and drove to the Old Mt. Road lot, which has a "no parking at night" sign but we had no problems when we...

Hello, I'm wondering if there is anyone on here in the Monadnock region that would be interested in doing the Dublin Trail on Mt. Monadnock after work some time? I'm also interested in a fellow hiker to check out the various trails on Pack Monadnock. Also, if you're going up to the White...

I'm planning on tackling the pres. range on the weekend of the 28th with a few friends. What special equipment do I need this time of year? (e.g. snow shoes, crampons, etc.) Thanks, RobS

Parked at the crossing of ME27 for the AT at about 7:30. The parking lot was closed so I parked on the side of the road. Went up and down and all around the trail crossing Stoney Brook Mt. Snow stopped falling eventually and made it all the way up to a clearing near the last push to the...

I'm going for the Crockers tomorrow, getting there at sun up. Any takers are welcome, just post or PM me. I'll be driving from Orono, and can pick anyone up that needs it.

So, I did sugarloaf today, and was hoping for Spaulding, but the snow was Way too deep; chest deep for a 6'1" fella, and too loose for snow shoes to help enough. From experience in previous years, how long before it compacts? I want to get as many peaks as I can this winter, but that was...

Went up Sugarloaf. Attempted to find AT to go to Spaulding, but it was not easily found and the snow was WAY too deep to traverse anyway. If your hiking in this area, wait for the snow to pack unless it's pre-packed (think "ski slope"). I got there at 6:30, the base lodge was open for a...

I've been trying to get Bigelow in winter since I've started liking hiking. I'm making an attempt tomorrow, bright and early, weather depending. If anyone wants to come along, I could use the company and you're more than welcome. XC-skiing in as far as possible, then snow shoes/crampons up...

Does anyone know of anything that is a good testing ground for equipment near Bangor/Orono? I was looking at the topo map on Google maps and it looked like everything within an hour is way under 2000 feat... I know there is a trail network near UMaine, but it's almost completely flat...Do I...

Hello everyone, What is the easiest way to climb Elephant, about how long does it take, and what kind of parking is available? Thanks a bunch! Robs

How are the conditions for taking the AT up Saddleback for the 14th? Is there any snow up there? Are they blowing snow on Saddleback and Sugarloaf yet? thanks, -

Does anyone have any opinions on the MSR Lightning for women? Any other recommendations on women's snow shoes? Thanks!

For the Bigelow hike up fire warden's tr, they say you have to cross a brook and to be careful that it's not flowing too hard. What does that mean? How would it be this time of year? Thanks, Rob S

My friends and I are planning Katahdin for Sunday. Does anyone know if it's open for sure? Any advice for a first timer? Thanks for the help!

I'm planning a trip to the summit of Moriah via the Carter-Moriah trail. The book says 3:55 from Bangor Rd in Gorham to the summit. I'd like to start at 7:30. The weather says partially cloudy for Sunday. I'm fairly new, and appreciate anyone that would like to come with or any advice for...

Is the road to Mt. Abraham's Fire Warden Trail plowed? I think it's called rapid stream road, according to google maps. If not, what is the best way to approach the mountain for a day hike? Thanks!
