Our 3 day trip started with a herd path ascent of Street. The trail is easy to find although the views aren't that great. The only iffy part was crossing the river (which required us to remove our boots as the water was too high to rock hop). It took us 2 hours moving slowly to summit from the...

I'm an experienced 38 year old male hiker looking to spend some quality time on the Long Trail in Northern VT. I've done this section a few years ago and can't wait to try it again. I expect to do about 15 miles per day. I'm not exactly sure where I'll come out but it will be close to Rte 2. :)...

Folks, My trusty backpacking partner just bought a house and is unable to accompany this fall on a trip. I was hoping to go for 3-5 days around Labor day weekend. I live in Burlington VT and would love to go either in Vermont, Adirondacks or White Mtns. I'm fairly fit and typically average...

Using the primary hunter's path from Rte 73 that most people take to East Dix, we decided to blaze our own trail a bit north of the "gorge" section of trail. Shortly after crossing the brook by the very nice illegal campsite and hiking for about 1o minutes in between the two brooks, we turned...

Folks, I've done most of the easier slide climbs in the 'Dacks (East Dix, Macomb) and one not-so-easy one (Nippletop). Does anyone have suggestions about other slide climbs especially in the Eastern area of the 'dacks since I'm day hiking from Burlington VT? I've heard about the North side of...

Folks, From the Long Trail just North of the Mt. Mansfield summit, the LT intersects the Hell Brook Trail. There is an unmarked trail that continues due north past the small pond. Where does it go after the pond? It seems to have been an old trail as there are some decaying bog bridges. I would...

Folks, I realize that most people will never go here, but that's what made this trail so nice. We did a 4 day hike and covered about 50 miles. We saw 2 poeple only. There was plenty of water although the stretch between the Falls and Balhead that was a bit thin. The shelter are in good shape...

4 Day Trip on Cohos Trail Hi Folks, I'm trying to rustle up some folks to join me in a 4 day backpacking trip for 9/5-9/8 on the very remote Cohos trail in NH. I'm a 36 year old male. I'm married with two young kids (who won't be joining me). Please let me know if you're interested! :)...

The trail is in good shape and the mud is minimal. There are a few patches of snow about 3000' but nothing serious. No black flies either. I'm a volunteer trail maintainer just up to check on things and brush the trail out before the season really begins.....Thanks to Ben & Jerry's (my employer)...

Hello Fellow Hikers, I'm headed over to the Adirondacks from Burlington VT this weekend 9/21-23. I'm hoping to attempt Allen/Redfield/Marshall. Is anyone else heading that way? Thanks! Daniel :)

Hi Folks, I'm looking for some info about the Grafton Loop trail that recently opened in western Maine on 7/1/07. If you've hiked this recently, I would appreciate some info. 1. Is there a ski patrol cabin at the top of Sunday River Whitecap, and is it open in the summer? Is there water...

Grafton Loop Trip 9/21-23 Western Maine Hi Folks, If I've done my on-line research correctly, it appears that the second half of the Grafton Loop trail is now open as of 7/1/07. I'm planning to do a 3 day 2 night overnight for the loop. It appears that the full loop is about 40 miles. As it's...

Hi Folks, In the Discover the Adirondacks guidebook, the slides on the West Side of Dix are listed. I tried to find them on Sunday and I'm sure I was in the right spot on the trail to Hunters Pass but I couldn't spot even the faintest signs of a herd path. Does anyone have any clues or are they...

Hi Folks, I'm planning to do a section of the Long Trail departing 5/31 after work and returning 6/3. I have secured the holy grail of LT hikers, a ride to the difficult to access northern terminus of the trail! I will be hiking south towards Rte 15/Johnson. I'll be averaging 13-16 miles a day...

Looking for a hike partner 10/6-8 Hi Folks, I'm looking for a hiking partner for a 3-4 day backpacking trip leaving 10/6. I live in Burlington VT, so I'm debating either Green Mtns or White Mtns (maybe Mohoosucs?). I'm pretty open. My 9/23 trip seems likely to cancel due to rain. I'm a 34 yr...

A friend and I are doing a section of the Cohos trail in Northern NH 10/8-11 going from Jefferson NH to Dixville Notch. A few questions: 1. This trail seems less accurately marked than many. Has anyone done this stretch recently? Is the guidebook relatively accurate? We're tryinig to do 15-20...

Hi Folks, I'm looking for a hiking partner for the ADK's this weekend for an overnight 8/7-8. I'm thinking of either going to the Sewards to try to get a few of those peaks, or perhaps going to Allen/Redfield. Any interest in joining me? I'm a nice, 32 year old from Burlington, VT who hikes at...
