    K-9 W48 Finish

    Kibo took advantage today of a very favorable Equinox Day forecast to finish her Winter peaks on the summits of Adams (47) and Madison (48). The Observatory had it spot on with temps in the teens and low/no wind. Other than some lumpiness in the vicinity of Valley Way Tentsite, the trails were...

    Cabot via Bunnell Notch Trail March 15 2014

    Broken out. As a wise sage once said (recently), bring snowshoes. It was raining for about the last hour of the exit hike so that along with today's cold will certainly help with consolidation. Not the longest, but probably the toughest prolonged trailbreaking I've ever done...

    Little River Road Parking?

    Is there any beta out there from recent travelers to North Twin Trail? Any difficulty parking at the cul de sac by the bridge this season? I know rumors abound year to year about whether we can still park there... Thank you in advance for any heads up!

    Canine Finisher: Kibo collects #48

    In her second season of peakbagging, Kibo was down to just 3 peaks left for her NH48. So with the impending closure of Lincoln Woods, we decided strike off on a Bonds traverse even though the weather forecast was something of a crap shoot. Along with our good friend Summitseeker, who is always...
