Hi everyone – My wife and I are looking for a three-day canoe route in the Adirondacks. We’llb be on the water Mon, July 1 to Wednesday, July 3rd – Though we’d consider an addition al day if the route necessitated it. We’d prefer: 1) A fairly remote area. 2) Relatively calm water – Lakes...

I'm heading to NH for the weekend soon with the goal of finishing up the 48. My three remaining peaks are Owls Head, Cabot and Waumbek. With only two full hiking days I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to do Cabot and Waumbek together in a day? I know a section of trail and/or a...

We are thinking about doing a short hike tomorrow, basically the loop over Noonmark and Round mtn via the Stimson and Weston trails. Anyone have any knowledge of conditions? Enough snow to require snowshoes, for instance, or whether or not those steep pitches of Stimson are negotiable? Any...

Excuse me if this type of question should not be posed here - and please remove it if that's the case. Besides hiking/backpacking, my better half and I are avid road cyclists. We are heading to the Whites to hike on Saturday. While planning, we got the idea to ride the Kanc on Sunday, from...

After getting some ideas and feedback from folks here, my wife and I spent three days in the Great Gulf last weekend. We've been all over the Whites, but somehow we'd never been in the Great Gulf area. Before heading out, we stopped by Ragged Mountain and ended up buying a new tent - which...

Two of us are planning to do a three day in the Great Gulf. Hitting the trail about noon tomorrow - setting up camp somewhere - dayhiking Sunday up to the ridge - hiking out Monday morning. In people's experience, will finding a campsite be a big problem? Should we plan to stay at Osgood if...

I apologize if this has been asked a million time, but a quick search of the forums yielded no results.... My partner and I would like to climb Katahdin via the Knife Edge on Thursday, June 29th. From what I understand, the number of hikers is restricted to the number of parking spots, and...

Hi everyone, After a long hiatus to explore my new stomping grounds (VT), my partner and I are heading to NH this weekend. We're hoping to do Whiteface and Passaconaway (#'s 46 and 47!). Somehow, I've managed to misplace my old WM guide. A few questions if you don't mind: 1. Is the hike...

My better half and I hope to complete her 46 this weekend with a trip up Allen (saving the best for last?) Does anyone have info on this hike? I seem to get conflicting reports about the preferred route. Is it still in terrible shape from blowdowns? Recommended places to camp? Is the route...

I've managed to lose my White Mountains Guide and was wondering if anyone knew the mileage from Galehead hut to Zealand hut. We're hoping to do a pre-season hike into Galehead, then out to Bond backtracking to Zealand, then out. (three days)

A friend and I are going to be in Southern Utah for exactly two days next week - wish it could be longer, but no such luck. anyone have suggestions for great hikes or other ideas in Zion, or perhaps Bryce? Neither of us have been, and we want to get cover as much as possible in two days. Thanks.

In an earlier post, I asked about doing Cliff and Allen in a single weekend. We have decided to wait to do Allen at a later date. So, we're just doing Cliff from ADK loj this weekend as a more relaxed overnight or three day. In the earlier thread, people mentioned doing Cliff directly from...

Does anyone know a reasonable route to do these two peaks in a three day winter trip? As you may imagine, I'm hiking with someone who needs these two - and only these two! - to finish the 46. It would be great if we could get them in one trip over MLK weekend. We don't want to do a death...
