If Whiteface and Passaconaway alone aren't enough, and you have the ability for a car spot, a great dayhike is Tripyramids, Sleepers, Whiteface, and Passaconaway from The Kanc (Pine Bend Brook to Oliverian Brook). It's a very easy car spot. (18.7 miles and 5550 feet of elevation gain)

Change of plans.... I have decided the forecast for Saturday is ideal for some exposure and too good to spend on Whiteface & Passaconaway (I'll visit this pair later in the month). I'll head to Franconia Ridge and hike Lafayette and Lincoln on Saturday instead. I will hike from the OBP/FWT...

I never met a dog I didn't like. Didn't Will Rogers say that, or something similar? I'm fine with dogs, and well-behaved dog owners. :)

Change of plans..... SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS Hike on Saturday, 7/12?? Whiteface & Passaconaway loop from the Ferncroft trailhead. I normally hike a moderate pace, which is book time or a little more. Anybody interested? Reply here or message me for timing details.

Hey Marty, I was only hurting on half of The Osceolas..... The uphill half. ;)

Thanks, Marty. I believed I was in really tough shape but we made pretty good time for the hike. I guess maybe things weren't as bad as I thought. Usually I don't take the opportunity to get pictures on The Chimney or Bypass. I was glad to have done it on this hike. Good luck with the meds. I...

We have a decision for Saturday: Flume to Lafayette via Flume Slide Friday shows White face & Passaconaway but I could be easily talked into Willey Range (Tom, Field, & Willey) or the Osceolas.

peakbagger.... I sent a message.

I have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for hiking this week but it looks like Thursday will have difficult conditions. Does anybody want to get together for a hike, or two? Right now I'm thinking.... Friday: Whiteface & Passaconaway Saturday: Flume to Lafayette via Flume Slide -or- Owl's...

Hey Marty, I was really happy when I saw the clearing on the ridge knowing you were up there going solo. I assume you made it down in one piece. I might have a picture of you on Gulfside headed south from Monticello Lawn. I hope it isn't another five weeks until we're once again on a common...

Hey Mike, Thanks for the hike and the pictures you have sent since. Good times for sure. I'm pretty sure I'll be headed back to King Ravine at least once more this summer, maybe twice. I've used that approach for Adams and Madison as well as Jefferson. It's a really fun way in, but I don't...

Hike: Saturday, 6/14/2014 – Southern Presidentials (Washington through Jackson) I know, it’s pretty late in the week not to have this sorted out. Tough week, I guess. Is anybody interested in getting together for a hike? The forecast for Saturday looks pretty good for some...

June 7, 2014: Jefferson via Caps Ridge Trails: Caps Ridge Trail Summits: Jefferson Hikers: Jessica, Leah, Lina, Felix, Marty, and me After trying for 45 years I finally reached the top of a mountain on June 7. I’m still working on the one I started 45 years ago; no hurry – it’s a long-term...

Thanks Keith, A fun day for sure, I’m glad we were able to do this one together. Sorry about your boots. I have managed to destroy two pair of Merrell boots and one pair of Vasque boots in the Northern Presidentials. The rocks there are really aggressive. I found the only way I can get through...
