    Its that time of the year - Renew NH Hike Safe Card

    Thanks for the reminder. We do it every year and think of it more as a way to support F&G and rescue efforts than “insurance.” Kind of like paying dues to the AMC even though we’re not active members. A question: what do people do with their “certificates?” I’ve always thought it would be...

    Glen Ellis Scenic Area Closure

    At the risk of hijacking the thread, another great route to Isolation is via the Ammonusic Ravine Trail from the base of the cog… or maybe an overnighter going up Rocky Branch from the south. I did that a couple weeks ago, staying at the Rocky Branch shelter, and it was terrific; didn’t see a...

    Trail From Bog Brook Rd To Wildcat D/E Col?

    Thanks again for the great response and info! When you say” pretty popular, do you mean there might be somebody else there or “get there by noon?”

    Trail From Bog Brook Rd To Wildcat D/E Col?

    Thanks! This is exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for. I mostly stick to day hikes during the summer because jam-packed campsites kind of spoil the fun and it’s not that easy to put together fun loops of the beaten track. I did the MSGT last week and loved it- passed only two small...

    Trail From Bog Brook Rd To Wildcat D/E Col?

    I’ve been thinking about a 2-3 night loop hike in this area sometime in the next week or two, to avoid the AT bubble and the more popular parts of The Whites. I’ve seen very mixed reviews of the tent sites and not Mitch about other options. If you have experience, reviews, or cool ideas of love...

    Sunset hikes, below 4k footers??

    See the ongoing thread about the unprepared family on Franconia Ridge and be sure you’re prepared for a night-time descent. It can be challenging.

    From The Green Mountain Club:

    It’s been going on for at least a couple years: allegedly a guy who calls himself “Salt” and has pretty much taken up residence there. He’s particularly abusive to women and has actually assaulted a few people. Evidently he’s out on bail awaiting trial for burning down someone’s house. It seems...

    From The Green Mountain Club:

    Be Advised: The Green Mountain Club is closing Pico Camp until unauthorized occupancy of the shelter can be resolved by local authorities. This is a matter of public safety and hikers should find an alternate overnight site or accommodation. We appreciate the concern and patience of the hiking...

    Nash Stream Rd. / Percy Peaks?

    Can anybody tell me whether Nash Stream Rd is open as far as the Percy Peaks Trails? Also whether the trails are in good enough shape to hike without feeling guilty? Bonus points for info about a nearby campground!

    WMNF Campgrounds opening?

    Does anybody know when the various WMNF campgrounds are opening, or how to find that info on-line? Most seem to say “mid-May,” but something a little more specific would be good! Thanks

    Is it good to invite 17,000 people to go hike to a NH 4K on one day this summer?

    Just curious: how many day-hikers are out there in WMNF on a “normal” summer weekend? And a thought: that’s a lot of revenue if they all buy Hike Safe cards!

    Thinking about changing shoes…

    I’ve used LP since v2, usually a pair or two a year. My hope is always that the uppers last as long as the soles, and that hasn’t happened yet (I wear them as daily sneakers as well as hiking). The usual issues are the upper separating from the soles and the fabric ripping apart, especially on...
