Tribute to the Fallen Mount Tecumseh Mount Tecumseh Trail/Sosman Trail/Ski Trails and road 6 miles 2200’ Elevation gain Kevin, Judy and many others This was the first time I had hiked a mountain since late July. I had been sidelined since then following knee surgery. In late July I was hit...

One more comment and I'm through: The world isn't always black & white-it's OK to bend the rules a little once in awhile if no permanent harm is done- Let the first person who has never broken or bent the rules camping or hiking in the back country throw the first stone- for example- do you...

Wouldn't miss it! Look forward to seeing you, Pat and Leo, and many good friends of VFTT! KDT

I view this as unsightly trash and breaking all rules of LNT. Could it be removed immediately, please? Oh, and don't stop there. There are seven more just like it... KDT

For my part I have picked up trash from one end of the Whites to the other and have always practiced LNT. This isn't trash, yet. When it is, it will be removed, if not before. As for the argument that it has nothing to do w/ the Whites, then what does Flags on the 48 have to do with the Whites...

Just curious: How many who are reacting negatively to this have served, or lost someone who served? I find what Ray is doing a hell of a lot less offensive than using a magic marker to write Rastaman on every trail sign in the Whites which I have been looking at for years, or carving The Link to...

Sad situation created by humans, seems to be a plague of one bear frequenting the back country sites. A fed bear is a dead bear. Kudos to you for helping the caretaker. I'll keep my comments about inexperienced yahoos invading the tent-sites being a bigger problem than bears in the back country...

@Peaks, and for anyone else who may not know or may just be interested. There are very clear and concise laws governing the display of the American Flag, which many of us served under. http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagcode.htm KDT

As I've said elsewhere, I'm always astounded at this feat! Great job, Gary! (Maybe now you'll find time to explore your backyard, the Belknaps?):) KDT

Outstanding! Superb photography from an under rated mountain! KDT

Blueberries were excellent along the ledges! KDT

We were glad to revisit this with great friends! Such a great hike, so refreshing to look around at peaks I cannot name! KDT

That sounds about right for the dogs reaction to the heat. The older dog probably took it a little easier than the young one. We have a young one that we walk and she would literally chase a ball until she dropped. She has the hardest time on the hot days as she overworks and will not conserve...

Our little mountain dog just passed away. She had literally hundreds of happy, successful, leash-free mountain hikes on the 4k's and on many lesser mountains. I agree with all that has been said by others so far, but would emphasize taking things easy with the little one for a few more months...

View from Emma's Cairn Belknap Mtn. 2382' /Gunstock Mtn. 2250' Brook Trail/Saddle Trail/Gunstock Mountain Trail 4.5 miles 1200' Elevation gain Kevin, Judy and Blue We returned today to the last hills we would ever hike with our beloved Emma. We took a different route than the one we had...

We bushwhacked this last fall from the Black Cap parking lot because the map at the kiosk showed a trail, which we didn't look hard enough to find. Once at the summit it was easy to find the trail and follow it back down. We found it an interesting hike and it was good to add a little extra to...
