So from the sound of it, I'm likely to hit some snow this weekend...having never used snowshoes before, I was wondering if renting a pair for my journey this weekend would be worthwhile or not?? I just don't really want to be sinking 3' deep postholes every other step for a few miles with a...

Howdy folks...haven't posted here in so very very long. Planning my first trip out since last fall, and it's looking like I'll be solo friday, and meeting up with some friends on sat. Right now planning on heading up carter-moriah trail from gorham up to the summit and then over the kenduskeag...

Howdy folks. Well, I'm leaving my job for a higher paying closer to home job...I'm giving myself a little bit of time off in between to decompress, and what better way then a little backpacking...I'm interested in doing this trip in VT, of which I know little about the trails/camping...

ok, sorry gang, one more question...are there any spots to pitch a tent between the Imp campsite and Moriah?? Has anyone set up camp up there before, or seen any spots that look decent?? thanks again.

Hello again folks. Trying to gather as much info as I can before bringing my girlfriend on her first backpack this weekend. Planning on hitting the Moriah Brook trail around 2:00pm on friday and hoping to make it to the Imp campsite by 4:30-5:00...what are the chances the tent platforms will...

Good day everyone. Can anyone tell me anything about the crossing from the Wild River Trail to the Highwater trail, near the Wild River Campground and the junction with Moriah Brook trail?? Is there a bridge? If no bridge is the crossing difficult with high water?? Difficult with even low...

So I will be in MA sat. afternoon (south shore) and I would really like to head up sat. night for a quick overnight...hoping to leave S.S. MA by about 5:30 and get up to the whites around 8:00-8:30...any ideas on a route where I can head in from the trailhead a bit and set up camp for the night...

Hey gang...first off I don't have a WMNF guide book, perhaps this question is answered in there...at any rate, I was suprised and overjoyed on my Rocky Branch/Davis Path loop around Isolation a few months ago to see the established tent sites along the route (the little brown square tent signs...

Howdy. So I'm taking my little brother hiking this weekend. It'll be the first time ever doing anything like this....he's never even really been in the mountains...just maybe seen a few from a distance through the glass on the car...he just turned 15, I think he'll be in good shape (better...

This will likely be a long one...it started Friday morning at 4:00am...I had to deliver a proposal from my office to Nantucket Airport by 2:00pm that day...so I left Providence with my pack ready to go at 4:30am...got to Hyannis at 6:00am, and boarded my ferry...dropped off the proposal, had...

Hola amigos...couple questions for you. I'm taking a friend backpacking for her first time in a couple weeks (22-23)...I have to get to southern VT (just north of brattelboro) for some business some weekend, so I was thinking of combining the two. So which of the NE 100 highest in VT is the...

Hey gang...so I've never been to the adirondaks...I think maybe I drove through a portion last summer...and I've seen them across lake champlaingn from burlington...but never hiked there...due to a trip I'm hoping to make to saratoga springs in mid-june...I was thinking of extending my trip and...

Anyone have any experience with this tent?? Any likes/dislikes?? I posted recently regarding a few other tents I've been looking at and I think I've narrowed it down to either TNF Tadpole 23 or the Kelty Sage 2. Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks, Captain Fantastic

Hi folks...haven't posted in a while...due to some recent changes in my life...I'm in the market for a new tent...I'm looking for a 2 person 3-season...and I'd like to use my REI dividend/20% off coupon on this...so looking at REIs site now, I think I have narrowed it down to 2 tents...I've...

Anyone have any info on this area?? Thinking about doing it as my first overnighter/weekend backpack with my new gear in mid-late april...possibly later depending on conditions. Anyone have any info on the trails and summits in terms of trail use, scenery, good camping spots. Any info is...

Howdy. Now, for some pretty basic questions. I've only used my camelbak for day hikes, and a couple of very old jansport packs for overnighters or weekend backpacks...my girlfriend got me a new pack for x-mas...the '03 Gregory Lassen. I'm pretty psyched as I've heard good things about the...

Howdy. Thinking about trying snowshoeing this winter...but want to ease into it...so rather than try to bag another peak, I'm interested in staying in the valleys and look at the mountains rather than down from them. So what are the best (read: prettiest) areas in the whites to give...
