DATE Sat 4/19 Great day, clear blue skys, snow still quite deep rode the "monorail" all the way. Off the rail snow was still 2-3 feet deep. One tricky blowdown blocking the trail. Not much postholing except by one moose who also decorated the trail for quite a ways. summits were clear of snow...

What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our...

They often close the Owl trail in BSP due to nesting hawks, late July?

Definately- last year I snowshoed Pierce/Ike on shoes in shorts :D seperate issue but much prefer deep snow, shoes over crampons.

Conditions: crust over 8-12 inches of new powder over snow packed trail Equipment: used snowshoes broke trail all day, I had forgotten what work this was! Comment: great day of blue sky with big mnts in the clouds- one adventurer had bare booted up Kendron Flume and was headed over to Willey...

51.875 here great thread, I did a few hikes in teens, really starting in midtwenties, a lot more active in 40s and 50s than before, including a lot of winter hiking in the past eight years. I laugh that my first adult job was in Barre Vt, my territory was Northern NH thru Littleton, bethlehem...

Trail unbroken, 6-12 inches of powder over previously packed trail, snowshoes needed several parties after me helped to break the trail out more, pleasant surprise to have sun, clouds coming in later. BTW, lots of tree flagging with orange tape,I assume connected to logging metioned in another...

love them, put them on first chance I get and wear as long as possible, my wife hates what they do to the rugs though :)

Incredible day for this hike, blue skys great vftt- wore snowshoes the whole way, trail broken until the last spur, tough, fun breaking trail the last 1/2 mile-some drifts over two feet generally about a foot, imagine it is filled in again.

Great season opener, packed trail with 2" on top, Chance to get out the winter gear and pack, used snowshoes because I could, looks like great winter ahead. Breaks of clouds and sun, saw no one. I always enjoy this little stretch of the legs to get winter rolling.

Not original, Kepple Hall, but DT in Baxter is my hope, a loooooooong time from now

BTW, great photo at the AT Cafe in Millinocket of a cog mooning- don't tell the cops :D Thanks to those civil disobedients for their work !

Snake River is a must, there are a few good art Gallerys if you are in the mood for that, also The Gun & Barrel is a good take if you are a strong carnivore- Caribu wrap appetizer is fantastic. The bar at Dornan's is also a great place for a beer with pic window view of the Tetons. Gas is...

We are on the way to Baxter in July, Having never been to the "Grand Canyon" of Maine, is it possible to check this out on the way to Millinocket (from MA)? Are there any must do spots, excellent swimming holes etc? Our hope is to do something short on the way up to Baxter. Any tips or advice...

Interesting, I use two different bladders, one winter, one summer, as they fit different packs. I have never cleaned them, (five Years)I use only tap water or filtered water, never had any "growth" items. Two weeks ago I just grabbed my summer bladder as I was switching packs for the season...

I, did not get a chance to post, but we did Potash on Saturday, great conditions, pretty well packed, we used snowshoes for traction, several parties after us, so I am sure it is packed well. Of course everything changes tomorrow :D Good luck and have fun! p.s brook is solid, no issues crossing.

we spent three weeks out there this summer, great trails. Many above mentioned cascade-paintbrush, still heavy snow last year in mid July. Hurricane pass is a must, one of the greatest spots I have seen in thirty years :D Camping in the Alaska Basin is awesome, watch out for marmots, they will...

I don't know about oldest, but when I got home from a trip to the Tetons this summer I realized I had walked around Wyoming with a Baxter State Park, Clark book in a pocket, love the extra weight, esp on the Alaskan Basin Trail! Forgotten- arriving to snow shoe in Crawford Notch with gators in...

No doubt, there is a big marina that rents houseboats and smaller power boats,sorry I do not have the name handy- just google Glen Canyon marinas. Sounds like a great way to hike this area, good luck and have fun :)

I don't know how much of the Teton range you have done, consider the ALAska Basin from the Idaho side, hanging Canyon near Jenny Lake, holly Lake,Paintbrush Divide, and the classic but beautiful Surprise & Ampitheater lakes. I am sure that your friends will get you to Snake River Brewing as well...
