After hiking Isolation the day before thought I might try Chocorua as I'd never been there n heard great things about it from a friend :) Thought I'd try something different though. Wore trail shoes with a small day pack n single water bottle fanny pack w/Gatorade. Trail seemed firm enough so...

After solo'ing Mount Guyot January 31st for my final TW winter peak, that left only SWT that I hadn't done solo. On January 2nd, I joined Bruce Richards, Dorothy Covey & Greg Russell and we were able to summited SWT! This was Bruces final winter peak which placed him 5th for having completed...

After summitting South West Twin on January 2nd, only Guyot remained of the 72 Trailwright Peaks...all done in winter. On Saturday, January 23rd I started out from 302 winter parking area @ 5:30 am. Snowshoed Zealand Road/Trail and the Twinway Trail to Guyot, out and back. Some rocks remained...

Went in Zealand Road early Sunday morning. At the Hut found out hikers broke out to Zeacliff yesterday in 3 hours but not beyond! Figured I could at least break more of the trail. Trail was hard to follow on the pretty open ridge so did make a couple short mistakes til it was readily apparent...

Beautiful, cool, clear day! Traveled Stratton Brook rd, AT to South Horn, spur to North Horn (had never been there before and a very nice spot!) then out the horn's pond & firewardens trails. All had been traveled some. Met a guy coming down south horn as I was going up and he had gone in...

Just to let folks know it is broken out. Took this trail to look for Mt Franklin in limited, but windless, visibility :p

Arrived @ the Hiker lot about 9am to find it almost full! Guess everyone had checked the weather report :) Being in pretty poor shape I finally arrived @ LOC Hut about 11:20. Several others were there preparing to go various places on this gorgous day! I'd worn snowshoes to here where I...

Parked on east side of 93. Snowshoed up past the hut and switched to crampons about 1/3 mile later at a short steep icy downhill section. The track is very firm. Beautiful views from the viewpoint, just past the top. Took crampons off at the car...no chance of postholing ;)

"Deerfield Ridge Trail closed - the Deerfield Ridge Trail within the Green Mountain National Forest in the Towns of Wilmington and Dover(VT) has been subject to significant unauthorized excavation and sub-standard alterations. According to the US Forest Service, these trail modifications, near...

My peakbagging began after climbing Moosilauke, on my 3rd attempt, in May 1975. I was working on I-91 around Wells River, VT at the time. I was the only one working there and staying overnight in a motel, as everyone else lived close enough to go home for the night. After summiting Moosilauke, I...

May be in the area this weekend and wondering about conditions? Thanks!

My wife wanted to XC Ski on more than Grafton's approx 1.5K. So yesterday off we went to Stowe. As I don't ski she dropped me off at the Mt Mansfield Toll Road then went off to ski for a few hours. I was amazed to see it covered in about 6" of snow! So I put my snowshoes on for the first time...

Didn't know what to expect and was surprised to see the trail broken out! This is how it has been in the past...the FUN usually begins after Emily Proctor Shelter :eek: Once at the shelter I got wind pants and hooded windbreaker on as that's what's most always needed. When I first did this...

The state has plans to increase ATV, mountain bike and horse backing riding areas. A meeting is scheduled Wednesday, October 13 from 5 to 7 pm in the Hinsdale, NH Town Hall to gather more public input. The state has already ruined Hubbard Hill & Davis Hill Trails by widening with an excavator...

Headed to the mountain I could see all the summits! Forecast was increasing clouds, etc in the afternoon...golden :D Left the lower cog lot at 7:49 and several others were headed up also. Leapfrogged with 6 folks wearing microspikes, I'd opted for snowshoes, but crampons would have been a...

Checked to the AT jct yesterday afternoon. There were 2 vehicles @ the parking area, 1 with NY plates, the other Quebec. Started at 8:30 thinking of possibly trying for all 3 if the AT or Horns Pond Trail were broken out...they weren't. After leaving the snomo trails there had been folks on...

Long walk from Rte 16 on snowo and missed turn. Whacked up to old road that goes to col, through logged over area. By boundary line aways then back and found it. Followed it about quarter mile then headed for top (about another 1/3 mile). Nothing to thick and open on summit. Wandered...

Saturday 1-23-10 Followed groomed XC Ski Trail about 1.6 miles to backcountry ski trail to top of gondola, between "E" & "D". Over "D" to "C" and back the way I came. Met a total of 8 backcountry skiers in 3 groups, on the way up. Wildcat Ridge Trail very well broken out. Beautiful Bluebird...

Just aquired a 1855-1865 stereoview of the Summit House on Mount Lafayette. It shows about 9 people, 2 women in large skirts, and half a dozen horses. I've been told it was only in use for those 10 years? I find it hard to believe the horses could have made it up the Bridal Path! Maybe the...
