I was hiking Mt. Crag today and I looped down around the west side on some trail that is on the AMC map. Near the bottom the trail intersects an old grassy road where there is a small cairn and a paper sign pointing back up the road reading "M-M Trail". It is blazed with standard sized...

This will affect access to the trailhead for the Wright Trail up Goose Eye. It will also affect access to the "bushwhack" into the eastern end of Mahoosuc Notch. Thanks for posting that article as I had been unaware that any work was planned there. -vegematic

We seem to be starting early and progressing rapidly in Bethel. We might peak in the next week, but the colors seem less vivid than last year. -vegematic

Yes on Zealand. Thanks. -vegematic

Yeah, I'm pretty fond of Unknown Pond. Haven't been there in a while, though.

I noticed some nice looking tent sites between the CVR and the river where the AT crosses. -vegematic

Count me in! It's refreshing to think about winter soon becoming a reality on a ghastly day like today. -vegematic

“Dumpsters are a big issue because the vast majority are not bear-proof,” said Timmins. “That’s why we really recommend dumpsters that are bear-proof.” I would suggest the dumpsters need to be human-proof as well. That is to say, the bear-proofness needs not to depend upon the human users...

Nice pics, unstrung. And Traveler Loop, definitely CCW and bring plenty of water. Once you leave the pond there's nothing until you are on your way down North Traveler. Here are my pics and TR from my loop last year if you want to get a sense of what it's like. Don't fear it, I don't know...

With all these speedy Pemi Loop reports flying around my interest in trail running was sparked and I decided to give it a try today. Mind you, I have never liked running. In fact I've professed a strong hatred of the activity ever since I was forced to run laps in high school gym class as a...

As others have said, there is nothing provided for securing your food so bring line. It is a beautiful area. Follow the campsite path all the way up before selecting your site. The loveliest sites are those at the upper end, IMHO. -vegematic

On our first full day in the park we paddled across Kidney Pond to the short trail to Lily Pad Pond and then canoed around that before returning to Kidney Pond. That evening we took the short walk over to Grassy Pond which was lovely in pre-sunset light. On our second full day I climbed the...

Usually I would prefer one like the first one because I like to see more of the surroundings, to have more context (my personal preference, it seems most "real" photographers feel otherwise). But the peak seems to blend in and get lost among the clouds in the first one. I'd have to say my...

I believe it is a snow machine route in winter so probably followable. If the winter route doesn't exactly follow the old hiking trail it comes pretty close. -vegematic

This is good to know. I swore off BD products several years ago when they refused to honor a lightly used super gaiter when the rubber rand split. I might be willing to try the again if I hear more reports like this. Did their management recently change or something? -vegematic

Thanks for the greenie, Marty! We loved the Bemis hike (our first time on it). It can only be more spectacular in the fall - but I say that about every hike.

Date of Hike: 26 July 2010 Trail Conditions: Mostly dry trail. Some muddy spots but most easily negotiated on stones or logs. Two blowdowns on Bemis Stream Trail, one was a crawl-under, the other a step-over. Most water crossings very easy. Only tricky one was on Bemis Stream crossing a...

Hey! It was great to meet you at Corliss Camp. I hope the rest of your hike goes well.

Date of Hike: 17 July 2010 Trail Conditions: Dry almost the entire way except for some mud holes low on the Doublehead Ski Trail. A few nuisance blowdowns on New Path on the climb of South Doublehead but all easily negotiated. Special Equipment Required: Lots of liquid on this hot day...

Date of Hike: 15 July Trail Conditions: Some mud but mostly dry until very near the ridge. Approaching ridge and trail junction there are some very wet mud holes between bog bridge sections. Bog bridges mostly in good condition but one broken. Trail is easily followed except for stream...
