How about the Pemi Trail from the Basin towards Lafayette CG? The trail follows the water, and if they don't get to the CG (2 miles), they will have had a nice woods walk. I also like the Falling Waters Trail up as far as the third waterfall. (I've been thinking of places we could take the...

My thanks as well. This is a great trail in all seasons!

A friend is coming up from CT for a weekend to train in the Whites for Kilimanjaro. She’s looking for mileage and elevation gain. She will be hiking with my daughters who will do Franconia ridge with her if the weather is good. They need a foul weather alternative – something sheltered from...

Paving resumed Thursday, 5/17, with sign saying to expect long delays. Road is down to one lane with north and south traffic taking turns. Hopefully they don't work on weekends. It certainly was slow on Thursday.

Thanks, Wu and Mike, very helpful!

We will be in Holyoke MA this weekend and would like to hike in Mt Tom Reservation. I have AMC MA Guide and map, but it does not say if there is parking where the M-M crosses Rte 141. Also, does anyone know how far south on Rte 141 the trail is from the intersection of Christopher Clark Rd and...

For $239 I'd expect having the flexibility of pit zips. I was aggravated when REI came up with the event fabric and did away with the zips on a lot of their jackets.

28th index The corrected index for the 28th edition was online (AMC website?). I printed it, but it was still a pain in the neck to use with the book. I think a post on this site might have led me to it??

I put a few pics out on Picasa - Old Fall River Road and Flattop Mt - both definitely recommended. The Road has some "interesting" turns - where it was rutted, some cars were bottoming out. A really pretty hike is Sky Pond. You pass the Loch and Lake of Glass on the way in - not too much...

WOW! A picture is worth a thousand words. What a shame, it's a beautiful trail, and so are the trails leading off it. Hopefully in the spring some work can be done on the blowdowns. Thanks Rocket for the links and Becca for the great pictures. Vey helpful. Certainly for now it's not for...

The Forest Service lists this trail as closed after Irene, but is that still true? I'd appreciate any info - looking for an easy snowshoe as I recover from a knee replacement! Thanks.

griffin - it's next weekend - wil let you know where my daughters go.

Thanks, everyone for the good suggestions. Also for warning us about unplowed trailheads, etc. Really helpful since we're unfamiliar with the area. But how nice to finally have some snow!

Our daughters are doing the Komen for the Cure Snowshoe Romp on 1/28 and are looking for a good snowshoe hike the following day. Looking for suggestions for 3-4 miles with moderate elevation gain and near Stratton. We are not at all familiar with the area. Thanks!

It was indeed April 2004 for Brutus' winter 4's. While Brustus was the only dog to receive an award that night, our daughter was the only pregnant recipient! Your wife was a beautiful woman, Kevin, and Brutus a faithful companion. Sorry for you losses. Hope you enjoy this photo...

Wow, shivering is almost as many calories as sawing wood!

Thanks for posting, grouseking! This trail is a family favorite when we have limited time. Amazing how the views have opened up, and all the debris has piled up! Sorry to see it's closed.

Old Bridal Path / Tuck's Trail If your friend is coming from DC, a drive thru Franconia Notch is a must. I like the Old Bridal Path as far as the Walker Ravine views. 1.9 miles to the views, good footing and great ridge views. You can just keep going up the agonies till you get tired. Maybe...

I laughed out loud at that! Why on earth wouldn't they just wake him up?? We have a senior pass, so free parking. But sometimes on the way home from hiking, we will stop at Lincoln Woods to use the restrooms and don't bother putting the pass on the windshield. Won't make that mistake any...

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/19/automobiles/19MOUNTAIN.html?emc=eta1 NY Times article - click link at bottom of article and follow link to watch race car video. I was nervous just watching the video. Amazing! I can see why the race took a 10 yr hiatus.
