    Glacier National Park

    Heading west in a few weeks. Staying near the west entrance to Glacier. Any suggestions, recommendations, must-see sights? We are frequent hikers, not climbers. TIA

    Lonesome Lake

    Quick jaunt this morning. Trail a mess in places: OK to the lake but the bog bridges route was tricky with post holes and the BC side was tricky with post holes and drifts. Still great to get out.

    dual purpuse boot

    I have Fisher back country skis, randonnee bindings and old school Koflach boots. I am looking for a lighter multi-purpose boot to fit the bindings so I don't have to schlep hiking boots for when I stash my skis and start hiking. Boots are great while on the skis, not so much when hiking. Any...

    Starr King Trail

    Nice to meet and chat with Emerel and Franco today. We did not summit, but ran into them on the way down. Trail pretty solid, getting soft. Lots of traffic recently, spikes car to car for us, snowshoes got a free ride. I am rehabbing a messed up hip and the snowshoe gait would not have worked...

    Pierce and Eisenhower - take 2

    As most viewing this forum have been up these peaks countless times, the only pics worthy of sharing are of the most amazing lenticular cloud formations we got to witness throughout the hike. Oh. And this grass. Can somebody tell me what this is?

    Pierce and Eisenhower, July 6, 2014

    Hiked this one as a loop, up the Crawford Path to Pierce then over to Eisenhower and down the Edmands. Great hike, good company, awesome views. Shout out to Fish, a SOBO AT thru hiker who just graduated from Penn State and hopes to be at Springer Mountain in November. Met him on the top of...

    Lost Hiking Stick at Oliverian TH

    I've hiked my 41 out of 48 with a solid piece of Hickory. She has a small hole in one end and the other is split and worn from years of use. I hiked Passaconaway with a friend Sunday but left it at the trailhead. It is very dear to me, however I cant drive back till the weekend. I fear...

    Zealand Road, then North Twin Trail

    Plan was to ski Zealand Road to trailhead and then ski as far as possible, switch to snowshoes and continue on to Zealand Hut. The problem was that my left foot is just enough smaller than my right that it slips within the boot. I felt like if I continued, a blister would form that would cover...

    Osceola and East

    Up Osceola Trail from Tripoli Road. Generally dry trail with a few muddy spots. No biting bugs but L-OT-S of flies. No cars in lot at 7:30 am, almost full at 1:30 upon return. First time over to East using this trail so got to experience the chimney 2x (out and back). Must be an awesome winter...

    Pierce and Eisenhower

    Good day for this traverse. Hit the trail at 7:30 and had it pretty much to ourselves all the way to Mizpah. From there passed a couple of families with small children but made good time to feed the black flies on Pierce's summit. We didn't linger long - I didn't want to drag out the DEET and it...

    Wildcat Permit ?

    So, with the new owners at WC, anybody know the protocol if I want to start hiking before the ticket window opens? I'm hoping to have boots on trail by 7 or so. Do I buy a ticket on the way down? Do I explain this to anyone who might question me? I have no problem shelling out the 10 bucks...

    Black Pond Trail

    Two of us headed out Sunday a.m. with the snowshoes in hopes of breaking trail and we got our wish on the Black Pond Trail. The Wilderness Trail was a mess - signage posted instructing skiers to stay to the sides and hikers to take the middle but somehow this confused folks. We did our best to...
