Look for mostly dry conditions, some camoflauged ice on rocks so be careful. We went up from Merrovista to Flagg, over the Gorilla Trail to Shaw then Carriage to Black Snout and then the Tate Mt Trail to Big Ball and the Band-aid trail down. Northern sides were more icy but there was no snow...

Just wanted all to be aware that when we parked at Lincoln Woods at 4am, we were given a $50 ticket at the end of the day. It used to be that you were given an envelope stuck to your windshield kindly reminding you that you owed the daily pass. We knew about the daily fee but I don't have a...

Great day on Saturday, 5 of us tramped to OH and back. Did the usual bushwhacks. Blackpond BW is a beautiful route this year and still firm as of this past weeked. Lincoln Brook trail was in decent shape, crossings easy and one was still bridged. Bruttie was in fine shape as well and this...

We've had an unusually cooler June here in the Northeast. Dryer than normal so far here in southern NH but with much less available sunlight. Could the continuing eruptions of Mount Redoubt be playing havoc with our weather? Some of the erptions threw ash 50,000 and 65,000 feet into the...

Has anyone ever climbed this? Is the road closed to public foot travel? It would seem to have very unique views of the Northern Presidentials from looking at the map. An old 1955 map shows a trail off the road going over a South Cliff. I'm looking for some good footing hikes I can do with a...

As we head into the final weekend of winter, I just wanted to say congrats to those who finished their W48, did them solo, or finished in one season. It's been a great winter! I just got my patch in the mail.

Ice Dam was released somewhere upstream. Snowbridges will be gone soon! Trip report is here http://www.kenyaevangelicalmission.com/winternorthtwin.html

4:45am RT-302 Warning-This is Long, sorry The moon was setting through a veil of wispy cloud as we headed up Zealand Road. Jeb Bradley, Bill Swaffield, Bob Shilo, Ed (Oldman from VFTT) and I passed a logging truck near the bottom. The driver was putting chains on for the steep hill ahead...

The Fed website says that both the Mt Clinton Rd and the Jefferson Notch rd are open I don't see any trip reports for Eisenhower being done that way. Can anyone confirm?

Has anyone been up the North Twin trail recently? My last time up this was in Feb a couple of years ago when the crossings were solidly bridged by ice and snow. We'll go in the usual winter way via 7-Dwarfs.

Weather and Trail conditions 15 degrees, snowing lightly. All crossings were fine. Snow is very hard-packed and icy in spots. Any venture off trail results in chest deep post holes Special Equipment Crampons and Snowshoes, full winter gear, maybe a machete to ward off branches Comments Eric...

I've done Washington in all seasons from the traditional route and am hoping to do a winter ascent via the auto-road at night. If I needed it for my list, would it count?

Has anyone heard of an old trail on Chocorua called Twin Sister? Speaking with an older couple last night, and they said it was on the back-side of Chocorua. Trail was supposed to be 2.5 miles to the summit and steep with lots of washouts. They thought it was gone with all the condominium...

Hi, I'm writing an article about this beautiful creature. I've only seen them once (live) at Thoreau Falls. Has anyone seen them around lately. I was on Pierce recently where they're supposed to be common and didn't have any encounters. I saw a dead one this month but he wasn't very...
