From his son: RIP Eugene S. Daniell III, 5/31/47-12/11/19. My Dad passed this evening after gradually deteriorating health for several years. No doubt, he would have rather gone out with his Limmer’s on. When I think back, his happiest years were when he was active in hiking, from AMC WMG...

Our group does trail maintenance because we want to give back. The WMNF policy has always been that they will provide a free parking pass after 16 hours of work. It's a nice bonus...it's not something we do trail maintenance for...but it's a nice gesture. The new policy is that people must do...

Yep, with the cooler temps I'm starting to think about winter hiking. What pack and size to you use? I've been looking at the Osprey Stratus 36...big enough?

Mt. Tecumseh is also known as the Waterville Valley Ski Area. It's the lowest 4,000 footer at 4003 feet. To make it interesting, we left the Mt. Tecumseh Trail halfway up and used the closed Tangent Ski Trail to reach the Schwendi Hut for views and brews! We used MicroSpikes the entire hike. We...

Spectacular pictures of our Haute Route trek in Switzerland in summer 2015. Our 125 mile route follows the classic trek across the Swiss Alps starting in Chamonix, France at the base of Mont Blanc, Western Europe’s Highest Peak and concluding in Zermatt, Switzerland at the base of the...

I know there are many reasons for the declining use of VFTT such as Facebook but is the old format/code of reporting trail conditions still around? I think using VBulletin to report trail conditions has led people to use another site. I think the previous format worked better for reporting trail...

Most sane people would say, -10 degrees, tons of snow, yeah, we'll stay home by the fire today. But here I was, at the end of Little River Road getting ready to hike the Twins. I guess the heart of an adventurer still beats in me. Anyone who loves to see what’s just over the next rise or around...

Sledding! Yet another sport to add to the list in winter! We had our SledFest and it was a blast. We hiked up 2.4 miles up the Tuckerman Ravine Trail from the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center with a brief stop to the Hermit Lake Shelter. We were granted a sunny start but as we climbed higher it...

Work was cancelled today due to the Northeast blizzard! I'm not complaining mind you. :-) I was in the mood to put on my snowshoes for the first time this winter and make fresh tracks. I wasn't in the mood to drive anywhere so I decided to walk...or should I say snowshoe...to the Welsh Mountain...

Light snow was falling when I woke up coating all the trees with a dusting of snow. The sun came out by the time I started the hike, the temperature was around 25 degrees and there were light winds. Greeley Ponds Trail from Waterville Valley has been closed since Hurricane Irene in 2011 due to...

Winter has begun in the high peaks! Down low, the snow was minimal (fallen leaves were still visible). As we approached the first outlook, the snow got slightly deeper and the trail got steeper, but not to the point where we needed spikes. At the top of Boott Spur, it was clear with...

A massive blizzard hit along the Annapurna route with avalanches and missing trekkers. What a mess! What a horrendous experience being on the Thorong pass when the storm hit. The safest thing to do was hunker down in the tea house and wait it out --- most of the group that tried to make a trek...

A friend of mine asked me for a recommendation as to which one to stay at for a few days and not having been to many, I decided to search this forum and found this topic has not been discussed before. I'm limited to ten selections so I chose those that I've heard of.

Reading the old AMC Hiking Guides, it mentioned there was a herd path about 1/4 mile past the summit of Mt. Osceola that diverges to the North, leading a short distance to the Split Cliff, an unusual formation with a spectacular view. GayOutdoors is the trail adopter for the Mt. Osceola Trail...

This is from a WMUR story. I found the comments particularly interesting in how short sighted some people are. It appears that because we had a harsh winter this year, climate change is a myth. Climate change data is about trending...not based on the results of ONE winter. Whether the...

The trail adopter letter from the WMNF Pemigewasset Ranger District went out yesterday and here is this year's schedule: * We will be done [or close to it] with extensive relocations and repairs to the Greeley Ponds Trail, large portions of which were decimated by Tropical Storm Irene * The...
