Thanks for these wonderful responses. My last 2 hiking trips were 8 of the Maine 4 Ks in a long weekend in August and a recent trip to Colorado. After each hike the pain has gotten progressively worse. Am I going to do more damage with more hiking? I've taken the last 4 weeks off and have only...

The last couple of months I've been experiencing some knee pain. It started as just some discomfort after 10 or so miles. It's been getting worse. I had an MRI that revealed a meniscus tear. Anyone have any history with this?

Wow, I'm glad you two are ok. I'm pretty sure this is the time of the year when the bulls are in rut. Everyone should keep a sharp lookout.

great dog and a great companion to a good friend. Tuck will be missed by all he came in contact with. Liz and I are so sorry Steve.

Waumbek and Hale are certainly the first two to come to mind. Another might be Cabot. If it starts to rain hard you can use the cabin near the summit. There is a stream crossing early on that can be a problem if the water is high.

Thanks for the greenie

Thanks Tim. Colorado is hiker's heaven. When are we going to get together with Old Man?

Thanks Patrick. I wish I could take pics like you. The mountains are amazing.

Thanks Patrick. I don't post too many trip reports, but this one seemed worthy.

Thanks Kevin. It was a special trip for us. We got to see my son and spend our 30th anniversary at 13 thousand feet. We missed you guys on Carrigain.

Thanks Trish, It was a memorable vacation. We didn't stop for a minute.

Our last hike on our visit was to be the best. I had done some reasearch on the Indian Peaks Wilderness area. After getting a glimpse of it from Bear peak I knew I wanted to give it a try. The area is in North Central Colorado. It is managed by the US Forest Service and The Nat. Park Service...

On the drive back to Denver after our day one hike to Geneva City, we decided we needed to drop down a bit in elevation in order to better acclimate ourselves to the altitude. Rob mentioned a hike he had done solo a month earlier. It was just outside of Boulder on the Front Range. It had the...

Thanks Trish. Colorado is hiker's paridise.

My son Rob graduated from undergrad last May with a degree in Geology. He was fortunate to find work right away. It was however in Denver. He works 20 days straight then is off for 10. Liz and I have been trying to work out a trip to see our son and get in some hiking. Over Labor Day it finally...

Nice finish to a long list!

Dry River backpack Very nice Petch!

Crockers and Redington Hey Earl, Glad you made it across the last bridge reasonably unscathed. I was on Redington last week with some friends. Unfortunatley Liz couldn't get out of work. I also noticed the posted elevation on the summit sign on Spaulding to be at 3988. I guess Maine has a...

Spaulding ? A question, Why does Spaulding have a summit sign that states an elevation less than 4 thousand feet? Our gps had a reading of over 4 thousand.

Maine 4Ks Great report Beth. Thanks to you and Ken and Karen for a very enjoyable 3 days of hiking. I love it when a plan comes together. My only regret was the lack of views from Saddleback and the Horn. At least we got a good look at them from Abraham. I can't wait to go back and bag the...
