I must admit that I have a love-hate relationship with the White Mountains Hut Traverse. The route - which winds 49.4 miles from Carter Notch to Lonesome Lake across some of the most difficult terrain in the Whites - is gnarly, relentless, and a true test of character. After a very low-mileage...

After having to take it easy for a few weeks due to a calf strain, I was just thrilled to see the weekend weather forecast shape up perfectly for my first Pemi Loop of 2012. Heading into the run, I had no idea what to expect. My former PR on the loop was 9:26 back in 2010, so I figured that if I...

It's amazing to think that that I am now in my fourth season of winter hiking. Since taking it up, I've always had a single day Presi Traverse on my mind. After fighting some nagging inflammation in both feet for 3 months (thanks to a lovely pair of extra bones that I just so happened to be born...

This past weekend I had the pleasure of hiking my first White Mountain Hut Traverse with a very good friend. Although unpleasantly humid out for most of the day, we were blessed with excellent conditions underfoot and made our goal of completing the hike in under 24 hours. A huge thank you to...

When? Saturday July 9 (with bad weather date of Sunday July 10), 9:00am Where? Lafayette and Lincoln (OBP/Falling Waters trailhead) Occasion? Toby the trail dog's NH 48 finish! On 9/12/2010, my dog Toby embarked on his 4,000 footer journey with a hike up Waumbek: I can't believe that less...

This past Sunday Sasquatch and I ran our first Pemi Loop of 2011. The conditions were just about as perfect as they come - dry trails (including the infamously wet and aggravating GRT), cool temperatures, breezy ridgetops, and brilliantly blue skies. Having run 50 miles in the 6 days prior to...

It all started with a rather spur-of-the-moment Facebook conversation on October 18, 2010... Adam: ‎2011 Boston Marathon filled up before I got a chance to qualify. Who's interested in Rocky Raccoon 100 for 2011? Adam: I've reserved a campsite for RR but haven't actually signed up yet. I was...

Last year Una Dogger coordinated a fantastic dog hike to celebrate Terra's 48 finish. Now that I have a pup of my own who already has a few 4,000 footers under his belt, I'm hoping to organize a similar hike. Peak: Moosilauke Start Time: 8:30am Trail: Benton Hope to see you there!

Hey guys, A few of us will be getting together at Strangebrew next Thursday 2/25. 6:30ish. Usually we end up grabbing one of the high tables down in the area where the bands play (just throwing that out there since it can be tough to find people right at the beginning). Feel free to join...

Hey guys, I know this is a bit of a ridiculous post (since I never ever use my phone when hiking :rolleyes:), but I am curious as to your opinions on which cell phone provider has the best service in the White Mountain area. I tried doing a few forum searches but didn't come up with any recent...

A few of us will be meeting at Strangebrew tonight. 6pm or thereabouts. I realize this is quite last-minute, but do feel free to stop by if you're in the area... :cool:

Yesterday on Isolation I realized my biggest goal of this year - to consecutively hike the New Hampshire 48 in winter, spring, summer, and fall of 2009. One of the greatest things in life is discovering those things that challenge and inspire us. Back in 2007, I was a girl so terribly out of...

Yesterday's visit to the Presidentials was undertaken strictly as a peakbagging mission. The weather forecast called for fog and drizzle, and we were wholly expecting to be stuck in a cloud for the majority of our hike. However, upon hitting the ridge we were suddenly faced with some of the...

It's been what, over a month? Strangebrew. Tuesday October 6th. 6pm, or thereabouts. ;)

As some of you know, a little over two weeks ago I tweaked my right hip pretty badly while out running. After suffering through a miserable week (during which time the doctor thought I had a stress fracture), I was ultimately diagnosed with a hip labral tear. I was wondering if anyone on here...

This past weekend Fat Tuesday and I hiked up the Boott Spur trail to meet Little Sister on the summit of Washington. What a gorgeous day it was. Thank you ladies for the excellent company. ...a few more here.

Has anyone been on the Parapet trail recently? If so any beta on the conditions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Mileage: 27.8 Vertical: 7,550 feet This past weekend Cath and I embarked on a rather interesting hike – a “traverse” (if you can even call it that) of Owl’s Head, the Twins, and Zealand. What an adventure it was. While Owl’s Head is one of my favorite mountains (and therefore always worth the...
