Conditions: trail a little damp, some running water from the recent rains, but nothing difficult or deep. No equipment need, except for a good wind cover!!! Nice day, the falls were running strong, verry windy on the summit, knock you down type gusts. However hunkered down in the sun I was...

Definately need to hang food at Chimney, even in the bunkhouse.Pick up a waterproof bag, or use an internal trash bag. I use a large carbiner to hang, it makes it easier to catch the hook on the bear line. Have fun, Chimney is a great place, just spent 3 nites in July, and was happy to catch the...

I have sumitted and descended Katadhin from every direction (except down the knife, only up) and trail over the years. As someone who has real issues with fear of heights, I would never take anyone up the mountain who has exposure issues. Perhaps Abol, but the table land is still wide open...

Mt Pemi you can add Mt. Pemi via Mt. Pemi trail, essentailly snow free except very short section near top. But it is totally barebootable, the little bit of snow could be gone by tomorrow

Trail still with a lot of snow, 3' at the top. Soft mushy as day went on. Used snowshoes the whole day. Unfortunately large group with only microspikes trashed trail with postholes. :mad:Of course, conditions will change quickly. Great vftt, clear early clouded up later. No problems w/water...

Trail well packed, a few minor blowdowns-easily circumventable. No water crossings on the trail. Used snowshoes, many barebooters and microspikers on the trail. An exceptional day blue skies and no wind- an unusual doube for Pierce.

OOps, one other quick idea, in Yellowstone Washburn is great, also consider Mt. Avalanche on the Easern side, great views over the Lake and south to the Tetons, North to the Sawtooths, check with rangers this is big bear country in the summer.

Any of the canyons are worthy destinations, the ever popular Lake Solitude, Holly lake are two of my favorites. Teton Crest over Devils Stairs is also great. Depending on your itenerary consider the Alaska Basin, we went in through the Idaho side, (Jedidiah Smith Wilderness) this is a wild and...

Yesterday (12-12) the road was untouched. Does anyone have any information about policy changes regarding plowing to the lot? This would be a significant loss of spaces if this lot is not going to be open anymore. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Assume that incoming weather will melt everything. Great morning, clouding up later, great views of...

Interesting, have to say Denali is the dream, but could really take Billy's trip with the tbd being a stop in Glacier. Where do I sign up:)

White Lake State Park in Tamworth off of 16. Great beach swimming, views. motel outside the front gate. Near the Kanc for short hikes (considr Boulder Loop) 30 minutes from North Conway attractions. I think the dog maybe an issue though. Great campground for kids, my daughters and I spent over...

The wilderness of the west is not possible here, you will not be able to hike to a place where you see no other people. Mountains should be enjoyed by all. In thirty years I do not see these mts as overcrowded. I think a mix of bridges over larger streams and rivers, shelters, I would love more...

What an interesting post, so, so many questions come to mind- history- why started, how long hiking, favorite hiking partners etc. Trails- most surprising, most dangerous, most wild rescue, most beautiful. Gear- most important piece of equipment, best boots. I guess I would ask a cliche, but...
