Agree with many great choices listed above-especially Crawford and Doubletop, also in Baxter consider Burnt, great short walk 3miRT, great for an "off" day in Baxter or when moving camps N-S or S-N, fire tower no gone. maybe overlooked, was Percival Morgan loop mentioned? Nice thread.

I get that the lots are lower priority, I was happy to see the Clinton Road lot being plowed Friday afternoon. I would even support a modest ($5?) increase in WMNF stickers dedicated specifically to help supplement plowing hiker lots. I carry a shovel, I can not imagine coming back at dark to no...

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...

Thanks to the trail maintainers for all the great work, thanks to Mike and Steve for great trail info, thanks to all on the VFTT community, your trip reports are great and many interesting posts, my wife who indulges my prolonged adolescense(going on almost 50 years now:D), my hiking friends...

Thanks so much, love that website, I will use it in the future, Mike

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...

Congratulations Mike, glad you were able to finish, hope to see you again in those hills, Mike PS

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.

I do not know if it is "official" but I have heard this referred to as imp face before.

Great place, ambitious itenerary, I would second, Bluberry Knoll & South Turner for quick options. Howes give a different perspective on the North&central parts of the park, that adds a lot to what (for me) is a long day. If you can avoid weekends i have had good luck getting lean-tos at...

Hard pack, carried snowshoes all day, unusable. Put on Microspikes at the falls. Several very tricky ice spots along the falls. Falls were frozen over and cool looking. Wore the microspikes the rest of the day, this was most common footware I saw, a few were barebooting. great walking to the...

Crust over fresh snow. Used snowshoes all day, trail well established. Nice views from Ledge including Washington. Summit also clear views. Several people were completing the loop to East Ledges, so that is now broken out as well. Nice day, hatless and gloveless in January ! Several folks out on...

Finally SNOW. Trail had enough snow to snowshoe the entire way up and down. Parked at the Depot, not plowed but enough traffic to make it usable. A_Z about five inches of powder over snowpack. Avalon link a little deeper with significant ice underneath, snowshoe crampons did the trick, but some...

MT.Crawford via Davis Path 12-30-11 Ice right from the parking lot up. Lot very icy, untreated since the rain/freeze. Put on Microspikes at the start of the switchbacks, wore them the rest of the way. No value in snowshoes, crampons would be overkill. Some two-three inches of snow over the ice...

Trail in good shape down low. no water crossings. Ice began on Ledges and intensified on the North side, last 1/2 mile very icy. Used microspikes from ledges up and back, traction definately needed. Trace of snow along the way, nice day great views from the tower.

Great day on the trail. No snow, some wet spots in the usual places on the Garfield trail, water crossings easy rock hopping. There were icy patches at higher elevations, mostly avoidable. Expect more ice as the temps continue to drop. The last .2 mile spur was very icy, I used microspikes to...

No just a bit of a duck under, could be a pain with a few feet of snow. BTW thanks for all of the work you do, trail is in great shape, the waterbars on Piper are exceptional!

Great day, went up Weetamo to Hammond down Piper.No water crossing issues. Some pesky ice spots, barebooted, easy to step around. One blowdown near junction of Hammond. Shorts and sunglasses vital equipment.

Thanks, I love the Tetons, never have had the chance to be there in fall, this inspires me to make the effort.
