I enjoyed a great hike up Mt Carrigain yesterday I noticed at the well there is a bucket with a rope to draw water from the well. For many years this was signed as non potable water, I thought I remembered the issue was arsenic? A group of trail workers-thanks guys great trail maintenance work-...

Did anyone hear about a rescue on Chocorua today 2/9? Driving home from doing Pierce today, south on 16 it looked like a helicopter hovering over the summit around 2 pm.

Is two meters close enough? Interesting article, with some cool photos. Can not imagine trying to "horseback" a ridge at that height :eek: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/sports/tallest-mountain-summit.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage&section=Sports

Anyone know if WMNF trailhead lots are being plowed during the shutdown? Thinking of Chocorua on Sat from the kanc, thanks for any info

Is it possible to park near Mt. Clinton road off the base road? looking to do Ike, seems this side is closer to Edmunds trailhead, thanks, Mike

Just a heads up, unfortunately I had to cancel my reservations Sat&Sun of Columbus Day weekend for a leanto at Roaring brook, hope someone can use the lean-to

Great snowshoe conditions. No blowdowns. Parking on the other side of rt.2, room for plenty of cars, the entry had not been recently plowed, a little tricky pulling out. Trail was one great snowshoe track, several parties out on shoes. Cloudy no views, we opted to stop at Starr King other...

Date: November 15, 2014 Trail conditions: dusting of snow to 2-3" of packed snow, snow and hidden ice on the spur to the summit. Real cold is here! All water crossing easy to step across. Special Equipment: used poles for extra balance, barebooted until the last .2 to the top, used...

Date of Hike:4/25/14 Trail: UNH- West side only Parking: lot open, one other car Water Crossings: none to mention Special equipment: bare booted the whole day, gaiters were helpful. Last carry of the shoes this year. Trail Conditions: diminishing monorail down low and again past Allen's Ledge...

Parking lot plowed but icy. Trail hard packed- carried shoes, micros & hillsounds up and down, barebooted the whole trip, many people in microspikes. Trail in great shape, minor spots of ice, a few avoidable postholes on the ledges. Fantastic views from the tower, great day on the trail.

Great day for a snowshoe. Parking lot mostly plowed, room for plenty of cars. Used shoes car to car, thanks to a couple of parties who broke up the crust. Soft and deep on the way down, without shoes it would have been a posthole nightmare. No water or blow down issues. Looks like no one has...

Great day on the trail, ice climbers at Pitcher falls, trail packed snow with 3" of powder on top. Used snowshoes car to car, some folks with micros. Broke the trail to Middle Sister from the split. Met one guy who summited Chocoura with crampons, looked icy over there. Beautiful day blue...

Trail well packed out, used snowshoes, 50/50 on the trail between folks with micros and folks with shoes. a few step over blow downs. Ice just below snow, could still use a little more cover. Cloudy and windy on top, at least early, still a nice day in the woods. Parking lot on Mt. Clinton Road...

Trail still snow packed, with a couple fresh inches from Friday night. Able to bare boot up and down, although many folks wearing snowshoes, the hard pack was solid, might get soft as weather changes, no sign of any postholing yet. Gray day, no visibilty on top, one persons tracks heading to IKe.

dusting of snow on the ground, leaves covered, snowed throughout hike, little accumaulation. A few blow downs including one at the signs on Morgan. Easy to walk around. Carried traction never had to use. No views, couldn't even see the lakes, nice seasonal day in the woods, met two large partys...

Hiked Carrigan today, usually I do this as a mid summer hike, I had never done it this point in the year.As a result, driving up Sawyer River Road I noticed an old large foundation on the south side. Old enough to have full grown trees inside, seemed too large for a house, anyone know anything...

Figured I would try out the new trailhead. Many others had the same idea, lot was full when I finished. Thanks for all the roadwork and trail work. Easy to see why it took a long time, in one spot the road was essentially washed away. Great work around those old water crossings, relocation is...

Had a beautiful hike Saturday on the ridge. As we got near Little Haystack we encounterd a number of glass panels anchored in the dispensia, the trail stewards guessed that it was some type of research project. Anyone know anything more? Thanks.
