    Wapack trail Watatic to Windblown ski are NH 9.2 miles. The best laid plans of mice and men.

    Did you need to render any first aid to keep her mobile?

    Ultra Runner Search and Rescue in the Pemi

    I think his assumption was he'd be doing a day light run and out by dark, which he almost was. As usual, best case assumptions can be a problem.

    Ultra Runner Search and Rescue in the Pemi

    I 'm surprised this thread has not discussed the dreaded SOLO aspect of this event. Maybe we've gotten over that? Should all all solo adventurers be required to carry a SPOT--like device, else deemed irresponsible? (11th essential:!)

    Lost Hiker - Crawford Path Parking lot

    April in Cambridge and April on Mount Adams are two very different worlds. The shoulder seasons kill.

    Adirondack Forest Ranger Robbi Mecus died while ice climbing in Alaska

    I looked at the Escalator route she was doing and it is unrelenting steep ice, snow and rock. Very demanding and not heavily traveled. A terrible loss for the ADK SAR community.

    Mt. Israel with a side trip the Beede Falls.

    Bandit's map is still the best reference for area trails as it covers routes on both public and private lands. In my experience trails are accurately located on Gaia GPS and usually well maintained and blazed. All trailheads are accessible, some with minor restrictions. For example, parking...

    Mt. Israel with a side trip the Beede Falls.

    Castle in the Clouds does provide a restaurant and a bar and its a cool place for a post-hike hydration session. If you use FB search for "Ossipee Range Hikers" page. Lots of trip reports and trail beta you will find useful as you explore the area. There are patches and certificates for...

    Mt. Watatic

    The Wapack is worth the trip. But tuff to solo with that car spot! If you do it in the next few weeks before leaf out, bring sunscreen. I got fried in May on that walk!

    New here and have been hiking New Hampshire and coastal Maine for 20 years

    Hey Ken, welcome. My wife and I were really impressed with the trail system on Mohegan. Beautiful vistas, well laid out and clearly marked. We red-lined it over a four day stay on the island. (Another plus is the on-island micro brewery.) Otherwise I have one word for you... "Baxter." No...

    Best campsite at BSP

    There is a lean-too on the edge of Nesowadnehunk field that faces Doubletop and has its back to the open field. It's one of my faves. Good access to the steam, lake, and hiking trails for Coe, Brothers, Fort etc. There is also a hidden spring at Nesowadnehunk that provides sub-surface fresh...

    Overnight Stay at Gray Knob - March 16, 2024

    Hey Seth, great video as usual. Thanks. OK to abuse that knee pre-procedure, but I urge you to go very easy on it post-procedure. Even with artho it can take months to get back to full strength. During that rehab it is prone to overuse injury. I had a "buff and Flush" of a knee and four...
