How early is safe to get a parking spot on a Saturday morning at The Garden in Keene Valley, say last weekend in September? Around what time might it start getting full? Planning on a Haystack-Basin-Saddleback day hike loop weather permitting and counting on anywhere from 10-12 hours. Sound...

Hi. I've done a lot of hiking in the Whites over the years but never this late in the year. My friend (60's) and I (50's) are looking for a scenic loop hike (5-7 hours) next weekend, assuming weather is ok. Don't know if there's snow/ice at the higher elevations but going up high is not a...

Hi. A friend of mine and I are considering doing the traverse of the Moats next week. Is starting south or north the better/easier option? Since he's older and not in the best of shape, I'd like to take as short a trail as possible. Can one leave their car atop Cathedral Ledge (CL) for this...

Hi. My friend and I are planning a climb up Mt Hunger towards the end of December, 2009, from the west side. We've never climbed this peak. We're planning to bring snowshoes. Anyone familiar with this peak in winter? Is the road on the west side plowed? If not, what's the east side like...

Hi all. Approximately how long would it take to hike from Crawford Notch to Mt Washington via the Crawford Path? Consider us intermediate. Plan would be to leave car at Pinkham Notch, take shuttle to Crawford Notch, hike to Mt Washington, then down to Pinkham Notch. Mid-June. Is it then about...

Hi, A friend and I are planning to hike up Huntington Ravine from Pinkham Notch mid-June. We've hiked in the Whites before, including Mt Washington. We've been told by a couple of people to do something else as it's pretty scary and difficult in a few spots - and these guys are in good shape...

Hi all. I'm relatively new to mountain hiking in winter (not other seasons). I climbed Algonquin in the ADKs several winters ago with snowshoes and they did the trick as there was lots of snow then. I'm considering going to the ADK high peaks next weekend and, although I think there isn't much...

Hi. My friend and I are considering hiking up either Dix or Nippletop this coming weekend, weather permitting. Anyone been up these recently? What are the trails like? How long, approximately, to hike round-trip from route 73 (to Dix) or Lake Road entrance off route 73 to Nippletop - we're not...

Hi, A friend and I are tentatively planning on doing two hikes in the Whites at the end of September and I was trying to get an approximate time it might take us to do each (we're in pretty good physical condition and are not new to hiking): 1. Crawford Notch to Pinkham Notch via Crawford...

I may be going to Washington State next week and would like to know if anyone knows of either a forum like vftt.org for that area or of a good web site discussing the best hiking trails in that state. Thanks.

My brother and I are contemplating hiking Kathadin early in the week of June 21. If it's during the week, what are the chances we get a campsite just showing up without reservations? As well, if we don't have reservations, how early does one have to show up at the gate to get a permit for...
