nice! thanks for posting! your pic seems to confirm that it's a new slide...one of many made by the rains of Irene :)

BecaM and I hiked Bog Brook Trail to Rainbow Trail to Carter Dome, then down to Carter Notch and down Wildcat River Trail... early signs of the coming winter... coyotes got first tracks on a bog brodge... on the beautiful Rainbow Trail..... a moose recently enjoyed some striped...

I think this thread was intended for our minority group, passionate hikers who don't follow lists/goals created by someone else, to share light hearted observations from our own esoteric point of view. I guess it is to be expected that peakbaggers would chime in, which, of corse, is fine. I...

This, and a few other posts, describe perfectly the assumption that hikers are either peakbaggers or weak excuses for hikers, not dedicated and strong enough to handle the awesome feat of hiking all 48 mountains with a single lifetime. That's what I mean by entertaining. :D I've hiked...

.....ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh:D ...when you hike to, say Mt. Adams, and avoid the last 20' because there's a crowd, and just skirt around the actual summit.... ...when you don't know if a particular peak is on a particular list... ...when you don't understand why...

wow! what a nice way to start my day :D thanks!!!

I've been thinking about this as well. I've been wanting to try xc skiing and this was the route everyone described as the best in the Whites for easy skiing:mad: Too bad I never got to enjoy it before it was taken from the public. I'm hoping that at some point a natural bridge will form at...

Agree with Peaks...Wildcat River Trail, which is a designated ski trail...very steady grade and remarkably less traffic.

I'm always excited for the season that is just around the corner, except in autumn. Autumn is too beautiful and way too short to be happy seeing it go. I look forward to snowboarding, and even some snowshoeing. I never want to let go of the beauty of autumn. I also look forward to...

awesome!!!!!!!

nice!!! thanks for posting :)

the view from my window at dawn...Jupiter setting on Mt. Chocorua with her first dusting of the season :)

BeccaM and I enjoyed the Baldfaces... The colors, the beauty of the beech stands are beyond words... We hiked it clockwise. A shower passed through just in time for our ascent of the steep ledges of South Baldface. I tried twice to go up the first ledge and came sliding back down. We...

Nice TR! great pics! Your description of the hike easily reminded me of similar situations. The forest seems a little more serious, a little more powerful and wild as darkness falls. love it :)

Nice!!! I tired just following your TR! Nice pics and recounting of an awesome hike...thanks :)

Sweet!!! This is the best time of year, by far, for moose experiences. Their behaviors are interesting and they are in peak physical form. Good for Sage :)

Yes, thanks for contacting FS. I always feel it's more effective if someone connected with an outdoor club contacts authorities on such matters. I've always had a weary feeling about the unintended consequences of wilderness designation. Can it lead to a deminished reverence for...

Well, I sure hope that is the plan. I sized it up, wondering which parts to take out but then I thought it would be a bad idea to mess with USFS operations. I guess we'll just see what happens. The pile at the shelter is also a nasty mess. It had charm as a shelter, but at the moment the...

Anyone know the story here? This pile of sh*t is located at the wilderness boundary along the Wild River Trail, presumably taken from the now-dismantled Perkin's Notch Shelter. This pile caught my eye...it's only 40' from the trail. If this trash isn't good enough for the wilderness...

There are two myths about moose that I frequently hear that have made their way into this thread. It's no wonder someone would think something is true when they hear it said so often. One myth is that moose are stupid or oblivious. I have spent a lot of time in close quarters with moose...
