Go Ryan and Kristina!!! guess we will find out the route as they go, but the route seems kind of long and the elevation gain kind of low for the Mats Roing route. Wonder if this is the route Seaver posted number of years ago?

New woman's Fastest Known Time!!! Congratulations!! Previous FKT was 18:15 by Stinkyfeet. See this page: http://fastestknowntime.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=northeast&action=display&thread=93 Note that LRiz ran what the FKT website refers to as the "Standard" Hut Traverse, i.e., visiting...

I would say it was pretty easy to follow for most of it. The only slight problem was one of the swampy areas. Looking at my GPS track, I think (not 100% sure) that was at: N44 09.447 W71 37.168 It was not big deal really, I just went off on the wrong route through the swamp for maybe 40 feet...

Thanks for showing me the way! Sorry I had to head off, but your tip about the impending storm had me in a big hurry to get down.

thanks for the feedback! One of the things that makes this kind of a unique route is that it's 67 miles without a single road crossing. Not too many places you can do that while taking a lot of peaks. Really makes you feel like you're out there. The planned, but not attempted, Lincoln Brk Tr...

Hancocks,Bonds,Zeal,Hale,Twins,Gale,Gar,Owls,Flume ,Lib,Linc,Laf (cont') Sunday: I got going Sunday morning at about 3:30 am again, had the sunrise on N. Twin and then on to S. Twin and down to Galehead Hut. It was tough passing Galehead Hut twice, on the way out and back to Galehead Mt., with...

This was a solo traverse from Hancock Notch Trailhead on the Kanc to Greenleaf Trailhead in Franconia Notch, including 16 of the White Mountain 4000 footers. Start: Friday, 22Jun2012 at 8:15 pm; Hancock Notch Trailhead End: Sunday, 24June2012 at 11:54 pm; Greenleaf Trailhead 4000 footers...

Becca--nice pics and fun exploring! I was wondering if you've ever given hiking poles a try? Seems like they might help for stream crossings and also maybe the knee. I had knee problems last year and I think the poles took some of the strain off.

cool shot! How many degrees are in that field of view? What kind of camera/lens did you use?

This was a solo traverse from Crawford Notch to the Sawyer Pond Trailhead on the Kanc. Start: Saturday, 11:20 am 16June2012, Avalon Trailhead, Crawford Notch End: Sunday, 7:20 am 17June2012, Sawyer Pond Trailhead on Kancamagus Highway 4000 footers: Tom, Field, Willey, Carrigain Trails: Avalon...

Thanks for all the tips. From the USGS gauging station: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?01074520 I see that from June through Sept the E. Branch of the Pemi runs, on average, between 200-300 cfs. It sounds like when the river is running like that it's not too hard to ford. However as of...

This source was flowing vigorously on May 19, and I think the Whites are wetter now than they were then. On May 19 there was also strongly flowing water along the Diceys Mill Tr., and also water on the Walden trail about half way up Passaconaway from it's junction with the East Loop Tr. I can't...

I was on most of that route a couple weeks ago, except for Pine Bend Brook, and also did the shuttle along the Kanc by bike. The Kanc between Pind Bend Brook and Oliverian Brook Trailheads is fairly flat, but still a net downhill in that direction. Of course you could do the bike shuttle first...

Now that the Wilderness Trail bridge over the E. Branch of the Pemi River is gone, linking the Hancocks with the Bonds requires either a 10mile detour to cross the bridge at the Lincoln Woods Visitor's Center, or a ford of the river. My questions are: 1. Does anyone have an opinion on what flow...

This was a solo traverse from the Kinsman Ridge Trailhead at Cannon Mt. to Mt. Moosilauke. Start: Saturday, 9:30 am 02June2012, Kinsman Ridge Trailhead End: Sunday, 8:10 am 03June2012, Beaver Brook Trailhead (after out/back to Moosilauke) 4000 footers: Cannon, North Kinsman, South Kinsman...

Planning on going Cannon to Moosilauke, and camping somewhere near Kinsman Notch. Not looking forward to the cold rain, but need more of that kind of experience to feel confident about longer through hikes when there's no avoiding it.

I've had pretty good luck refreshing the DWR using: 1. Atsko Sport-Wash, followed by: 2. Atsko Fluoropolymer Permanent Water-Guard (in aerosol can). It is (supposedly) important to first clean out your washing machine of all detergent residues by running a water-only cycle before washing the...

Lincoln Woods Trailhead to Mt. Flume summit via Osseo Trail. One way is about 5.6 miles with 3286' gain. There is a series of steep wooden steps, but no real ledge scrambling because of those. Most of the route is nice footing with a steady moderate grade. You can skip the last 100 feet of...

As of 5/27/12--19 Mile Brook not free.

shucks, no, I wasn't aware of the Pipeline Trail. Guess I should have done a bit more research. Thanks for the tip -- I'll definitely go that way next time. I'm hoping to preview all segments of a NH 4000 footer through hike route this season. Might attempt the full thing at the end of the...
