Its not a loop but how about from Tuolomnne Meadows to Reds Meadow. You can stay a night below Donohue Pass ( a location I highly recommend), a night around Garnet Lake, and one at the Meadows or in the backcountry and then take a bus from Reds Meadow to Mammoth and then the Yarts from Mammoth...

Hey all, a window of opportunity may have just opened for me on Sunday and I was thinking Killington VT. If the snow and ice have melted, I'll avoid the area due to "mudseason". My long trail guide specifically references this area. If still a snow and ice base, I may hit it. So, does...

Thanks Tobit- appreciate the HB!

Thanks Jay. Seems like they've been passing quickly since that first weekend on the Devils Path...of course you young folks don't really worry about such stuff . And COngrats on the winter 46!

A few years ago Sapblatt and I were doing a Presi Traverse (attempting anyhow) on June 10 and this snowfield was still going strong. Upon cominig up to it there was a guy with a shovel making a path since he heard about a couple of people who were hurt after sliding down this spot. Not hurt too...

Summarizing my winter hiking- 0 peaks of any kind, 1 11 mile flatland hike in the Pemi with Sapblatt. A series of negative events turned the winter into a no hiking, no working out mess. All things apparently working out now, Rols (Paul) and I targeted 3/28 for a hike and we wanted to add to...

Marty- nice report and especially the pix. Great lookin' day- made me want to be there!

I suspect that this isn't a rare occurance at Ethan Pond... http://tuco.smugmug.com/gallery/3408175_9Jixj#190724937_PUneL-A-LB

Thanks both of you. We'll see how the weather plays out; I wasn't sure if ice and the steep trail made it a rough go up the headwall.

I searched but didn't find any trail reports on the Great Gulf Trail in early May so I'll ask here- has anybody been up the GG Headwall in early May and if so, please share the conditions. I realize the variability from year to year but wondering the safety level of heading up that way at that...

And now in Southern NH......

My initial reaction is that most of my hikes in such a way that I would not be expected home until late. I doubt my wife would go to sleep however, with me not being home yet and not calling in no matter what time in the day I was expected home. No way. My other reaction is that she would...

Wow, Tim. Thats a great shot. Your others as well. thanks for sharing.

We glissaded/butt slid/scooted this once and it was fast and exciting. There was a lot of unconsolidated snow and standing was tough. The snow did help from the speed getting too far out of control. Have fun, be careful. And have a great hike.

Is there a regular commuter to MA that uses this as a regular route? I have taken it 1/2 dozen times in the last year, and zipped through at 65 mph going south all times (around 645 am). Perhaps the southbound traffic gets worse later in the morning? Me being lucky never sounds like an...

Congratulations. Its a beautiful shot! Oh, and congrats on your recent engagement ...

I haven't used it enough for it to stop working properly yet but for use on uneven surfaces (re- slanted rocks) and attaching to tree limbs etc it is fantastic. Opens up the type of shots you can get of yourself while alone on a hike.

Good luck on finally getting your peak- now can I recommend to all others giving it a shot in the 28th? ;)

Very cool pix. Agree the one with the cherries is excellent. Power came back last night after 10 days. Lets not discuss the flooding and the heating system distruction- still can't live at home. :eek: Anyway, some pix of my neighborhood and around my house. Note that this was a day or so...
