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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Anybody have any info on a hiking trail to the summit of Rogers Rock, Lake George.

Is the area NW of Snowy Mountain open to the public now. Is it legal to ski into the valley between Burgess and Squaw Mountains?

Is there any access to the Moss Ponds that are located South West of Underwood and are they located on private property. I am interested in checking out what looks to be a mini gorge that lies just north of the ponds and wander about in the small hills that are South East of the ponds. Any info...

On Saturday Oct. 24th my long time hiking buddy and I finally made time for a visit to the summit of Knob Lock mountain. Leaving from the parking area that accesses the Owl and the Northern area of the Giant Mountain wilderness, we made our way along the trail for about a mile before turning...

2/17/14 through 2/21/14 My friend Erik and I departed Northampton MA at 4:30 AM to meet the rest of our group for breakfast in Elizabethtown. We planned on departing from the 70 Lane/Wells road intersection near the Jay Mountain Wilderness area for a few days of camping and poking around...

I was thinking of camping and bushwhacking around the area that is in between Slip Mt. and Saddleback Mt. in the Jay Wilderness area. There seems to be a nice little beaver pond in there that would be ideal for an area to base camp then bushwhack Saddleback and Slip. Does anyone have any info or...

Is anyone familiar with the Seventy road that goes up to the Slip Mountain/ Mt Fay area. Specifically, I'm looking for winter parking info and to what point the road is plowed. I was also interested in knowing what level of snowmobile activity there is in that area. Any input or info would be...

Has any body bushwhacked from Rocky Falls shelter area on Indian Pass trail up to the summit of Wright peak, Algonquin or the knob to the NW of the saddle between Wright and Algonquin? I'm curious as to what the terrain is like in that area, esp. in winter conditions. Any input would be greatly...

When it comes to hiking and exploring there is nothing I enjoy more than off trail explorations of the Adirondack Park. This past Columbus Day weekend presented the opportunity to hike the Boquet’s north gorge and bushwhack up the NE shoulder of Round Mountain. As with many of the bushwhacks...

I've searched the threads concerning bushwhacking up the North fork of the Boquet river gorge and have enjoyed the trip reports. I'm considering doing this bushwhack this fall and I'm hoping someone familiar with this route could throw their two cents in about the degree of difficulty involved...

I'm curious about what other peoples winter campsites are like. I've attached two photo's showing one of mine from a couple of years ago at Railroad Notch/Little Meadows between Big Slide and Porter. It never went above 10 deg. and was mostly below 0 deg. We have a 20' x 5' light weight tarp we...

Has anybody been on the summit of Knob Lock mountain, if so, are there any worthwhile views or interesting topography to see and what's the surrounding forest like for bushwhacking? Thanks as always for any input. Buddy
