Does anybody know of any backwoods cabins for rent in the winter. Primitive is fine, getting to old for winter camping but would still like to enjoy a few days in the woods, skiing and shoeing around with my buddies. Something along the lines of the now closed 4 Peaks cabins would be ideal...

I thought that might be the case considering the amount of use that area gets. I use 30" snow shoes most of the time on winter trails but sometimes they're just silly.

Thanks for the info. Just recently got my 1st clear weather view from the summit. I'm looking foward to a dazzling high pressure dome view sometime this winter.

What are the winter trails like on Mt Monadnock. Do most hikers use snow shoes or is it mostly packed by bare booters?

I have used svea, loved it for boiling water, whisper lites, to finicky and prone to malfunction and what I like best for all seasons is my coleman peak one. It is a bit on the heavy side but I have found it to be bomb proof, has excellent high end output and can maintain a very low flame for...

West Mill Brook area never has disappointed me and last Thursday was no exception. After navigating the access road through the brook and under the interstate we found ourselves at the parking area near the Dix wilderness eastern boundary. It was a late start, 10 AM, so we hustled our way up the...

Last week my son and I did our annual Lake George trip. We typically stay at the “Adirondack Park Motel” and rent a Boat from “Chic’s” marina and explore and swim the lake. We did that on Thursday and had a great time. We had the entire lake practically to ourselves with very little wind and...

It's possible that we were on the knob to the south of the MacNaughton summit ridge. Some in our group claim that's not the case but viewing the topos brings it into question.

The weather forecast forced my hiking partners and I to reconsider our planned five day camping/bushwhacking trip in the Hurricane mountain Soda range area. It’s really hard to give up on a trip after putting so much time and effort preparing for it but camping in the rain in February has never...

A good friend of mine would say to me on occasion "open up your eyes......jackass!" Mostly deserved.

I can't figure out how to contribute.

20 yrs ago I remember Rangers or at least park employees, stationed at the peak end of the knife edge trail, acting as gate keepers to the trail. Seemed like they were making their decision on who will be permitted to use the trail based on what you had on your feet. No flip flops or penny...

TCD, I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting most of the areas that can be accessed using your book as a guide. It has opened my eyes to other areas that may seem inaccessible due to highway construction but perhaps can be accessed using approaches that are similar to the ones described in your book...

My hiking friends and I have had the peak bagging fever for our entire 45 yrs of adventuring together. Winter camping adventures in the Whites always had the goal of summiting Mount Washington at some point during our week long forays, with the lesser peak of Isolation or Boot Spur when the...

Thanks TCD. I'll post a brief trip report on the non winter approach to Underwood Canyon although I suspect the interest in that area to be low unless you are an ice climber. I just enjoy unique land formations, a different kind of view. VFTB

I have been considering poking around the Underwood Canyon area for awhile. I plan on bushwhacking in along the South Fork of the Boquet then heading South East to the canyon area. I've only hiked in that area during the winter so any climbers herd paths that may exist from the river to the...

Thanks for the info Rivet, can't wait to get back up into that area. It's one of my favorites

Has anybody been down the road from rt. 9 to the 87 underpass into the West Mill Brook area recently? Last time I was there the river crossing was good but the road down to the crossing was starting to erode. We will be driving a 4x4 suburban. We are older guys planning to revisit Wyman, we...

I'm not a rock climber but I would be interested in what hassle's rock climbers encounter while doing their thing. Perhaps in a separate post we could explore those issues and allow the uninformed to become informed. Care to take a stab at it jfb, I'm sincerely curious.

Some people who are afraid of dogs or just do not like dogs for what ever reason, choose to hike in places where dogs are not permitted. There are many more places to hike where dogs are permitted than not. Is it really asking to much to respect the park rules out of respect for others enjoyment...
