Taking a trip to the Emerald Isle in July. This is my first visit. I am hoping to climb Mt Brandon on the Dingle Peninsula, any advice on guidebooks, hiking there specifically or generally in Ireland would be well appreciated, thanks.

my sympathies, I always enjoy your posts, you provide wisdom and inspiration, here is to fast healing.

Trail wet in spots,no problem navigating. the bridge is back up at the trailhead:), the falls were running great, two lone spots of ice on the switchbacks, the rest wide open. Foggy/cloudy, interesting view peaks including Washington up over the clouds for a limted time. No bugs at all, great...

Double top is one of my favorites 8 mi rt, on the South side the last 1/2 mi is a very, very steep section to the top, two or three tricky spots in the "chute" that require caution. the rest is a lovely walk in the woods. North side is longer but not quite as rigorous. Fantastic views of Kt, and...

Clear dry trail, no equipment needed, great sunny am, began to cloud up late morning, no blowdowns, shorts and a t-shirt day! Early black flies, buzzing not bitingNote: came in from Passaconoway, Dugaway still gated.

Down low, Mt Major

Are they still called the White Mountains after the snow melts? BTW does anybody have feelings about dogs on the trail? ;)

Maple porter at the Woodstock Inn, Steve Smith's Mountain Wanderer, gateway to Franconia Ridge, gets my vote. 2nd choice, Intervale north of No Conway, connection to Crawford Notch.

4"-6" of Powder over packed trail, great snowshoeing conditions. Wore shoes the entire trip.Went up and down west trail, saw two other parties on my way down. Trail should be in great shape for anyone looking to escape cold and wind of the big peaks tomorow. Beautiful day, sunny summit, views...

Trail conditions, Nov to April first and foremost. Lots of information regarding trails, gear, and hiking. Also some inspirational posts, and some very funny people :D. Thanks for all the help and fun.

Great advice from Stan, I second the night in Millinocket on the way in.I also second the idea of reservations with each car. A couple of quick points. It is about an hour car ride from Roaring Brook to Marston trailhead, add in your hike, it would be quite ambitious to do that hike,drive back...

SNOW. The trail was broken, mostly packed to the junction, the steeps were unbroken, the last 1/2 mile. Snow was waist deep in spots, slow going. The last 1/2 mile took more than the rest of the hike combined. A couple of parties behind me helped pack things down, made for a fun and easy...

"God Bless Us, Everyone" C.D.

trail conditions: muddy down low. Stream crossings easy to rock hop. Packed snow/ice the last 1/2 to 3/4 mile. Icy the last .2 to summit Equipment- I was very happy to have microspikes for the last 1/2 mile. Some folks were barebooting with good traction on the boots. Clearly time to carry...

Greylock up the AT from Notch road, down AT to Old Summit Road Trail. First time ever climbing my home state high peak. Nice trails, wet and leave covered, trace snow starting on the ridge from Mt. Williams to the summit.No traction needed. Used Gators for the wet and mud. Waterproof boots a...

Many Thanks Thanks to all for the research and information, I am glad I saw what I thought I was seeing, (trickier as the years roll on :D) It is quite a sight, well worth an early start for the solo summit and the Atlantic. Very similiar to the observatory shot. Guess I will have to pack my...

Several times over the years I have been trying to figure out what I am seeing looking E SE from the summit of Chocorua. On a clear day, as today with a long range view, I swear I see a thin light line, looking over Silver Lake that looks to me to be the ocean on the very edge of the distant...
