May 10, 2014: Cabot Trails: York Pond Trail, Bunnell Notch Trail, Kilkenny Ridge Trail Summits: Cabot Hikers: Trail Trotter (Sue) and me Plan A for the day was The Wildcats. We arrived for the planned start but the weather was uncooperative. We decided to wait for the rain to at least let...

The Cog is not yet operating during the week, only weekends. Nobody was there on Thursday. Maybe it's a different story when they are operating.

Disclaimer: Just a guess..... It wouldn't surprise me if this trailhead remains closed until both Mt. Clinton Road and Jefferson Notch Road are open. Jefferson Notch Road is still closed as well. (at least it was still gated yesterday)

In case you’re interested……. If you plan to hike Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail or Jewell Trail from the trailhead on Base Road you might be interested to know the trailhead lot is still gated from the winter closure. The winter trailhead at Marshfield Station is the only place currently open. (as of...

Yeah, very easy. Walk up the driveway to the top and keep going straight ahead. You'll see the very obvious opening in the trees. The entry has a building on the right and tent platforms on the left.

Thanks guys, I hope it isn’t a long time between getting together for some mountain air. Sorry that I can’t give you more of a workout but I do the best I can. Thanks for your patience. The good news is you have a little more time to enjoy the scenery, and at times the scenery is outstanding...

Hike: Thursday, 5/8/2014 Is anybody interested in getting together for a hike? I’m planning to hike Mount Monroe and Mount Washington via a loop of Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail (ascending) to Jewell Trail (descending). I’m thinking about an on-trail of ~8:00am from the official trailhead. If the...

I completely agree. The only qualifier is the amount of ice. As I recall, Air Line currently has significantly more ice than Valley Way. Descending Air Line on something more substantial than MICROSpikes might be a sensible approach. The good part is once you hit the ice you’ll be on it for a...

Start Time Change.... If you're looking at this hike, please note the start time has been adjusted to 8:00am (assuming Madison & Adams). The original target time was earlier than needed. :)

I expect a return visit once the trails clear up a little. That's a great hike and I would like to follow your suggestion. It's great to hear from you. I hope everything is going well for you in the sunny south. I sent a PM to you on other matters. Earl
