I'm looking for historical information about the mountain exploits of Chris Goetze, if anyone can help. Goetze was one of the early "superhikers" in the Whites and Mahoosucs. As far as I know, his 1958 "fastest known time" of 8:06:30 for the Mahoosuc Traverse still stands today, nearly 56 years...

Before this, I had completed the Hut Traverse only once out of the three attempts. In 2007, I went west to east with a friend, but we encountered high winds at Lakes and had to quit. Two weeks later I completed a solo traverse westbound in 19:25, after sleeping at Carter Notch hut and pushing...

Seems like lots of people were thinking Pemi Loop on Saturday. It was just a great day out there, as all the reports attest. Started just after Bombadil at about 3:45 am and went counter-clockwise. Although Bombadil had broken out Twinway earlier in the week, it had pretty much drifted over...

Now that the Wilderness Trail bridge over the E. Branch of the Pemi River is gone, linking the Hancocks with the Bonds requires either a 10mile detour to cross the bridge at the Lincoln Woods Visitor's Center, or a ford of the river. My questions are: 1. Does anyone have an opinion on what flow...

Does anyone know if there's still snowy or icy trails at Mt. Greylock after this major meltdown? I couldn't find any recent reports here or at newenglandtrailconditions.com thanks

Does anyone know the current condition of the Osseo Trail in the Whites? Is it snow-free? thanks.

Accounting for some of the main factors that make a trail tough--including the elevation gain and how rocky/rooty the trail is--which is tougher on average, the Vermont Long Trail or the MA/NH Wapack trail? (The reason I ask is that I hiked the Wapack Trail out and back on Saturday in training...
