All of the trails in pretty good shape. The Bonds are covered with snow. Poles and wind jacket helpful to bring. Hiked with Peter and Zach from the N.E. Hiking & Adventurers Group. Less than a mile from Zealand Hut we saw a moose with a full rack!! The views from Bondcliff are so amazing and...

Hi, Still looking for 1 or more people to do the Bonds Traverse this Sat, leaving from Zealand. Have 1 possibility. Mountain49 [email protected] Julie

Bonds Did you start at Zealand because the elevation gain is lower, than starting at the Wilderness Trail? I think it will take me longer than it took you. I'm in my late 50's and hike on the slower side. Is there anywhere along the trails that you could go the wrong way? I was considering...

hiking the Bonds Bob, I was thinking of starting at the Wilderness Trail around 5:45am. The trail is flat for 4 miles and it's easy to hike with headlamps.Then would end at Zealand Trail. I need 2 cars to do this. I have the Wildcats left to do but really want to do this while there is still...

Started the hike on Wilderness Trail when still dark, to avoid coming out in the dark. Very neat to see the sky slowly lighten. Hiked with Denise, Bob, Irene, Jean, Jane, and Patty( I hope I got those names right).Denise(our leader) kept us at a steady pace! Franconia Brook Trail very muddy in...

Started out a beautiful sunny day hiking up Glen Boulder with Bob from NH & Irene from NYC. This is a well marked trail in good condition. When we got above treeline the views were spectacular. Unfortunately the wind was so fierce I had to hold onto the rocks hiking up, and change into winter...

Thank you Really appreciate the many responses I got to question of best route to Isolation!! I'm going to decide that morning based on the weather. Mountain49 Julie

I'm planning to hike Isolation this Sat. The description of Rocky Branch Trail in White Mt. Guide says the water crossings are wide and difficult. I read Ed's description of the hike 9/13 and he didn't find that. Glen Boulder is described as shorter but much more strenuous. I am wondering with...

Weather was overcast with a few sprinklings of rain at the end of the hike. Suprisingly warm weather. At the Middle summit the clouds parted for a few minutes for a misty look at the mountains. There are a lot of leaves on the trail, making it a little slippery. Need to walk a little cautiously...

Constant steady rain ascending Falling Waters, that became heavier at times. Poles, rain gear, and sturdy boots a necessity. Reached Haystack at 1pm and the limited views of mountains and fog and clouds gave the summit an etheral beauty. With the continuing rain and the forecast for...

Trails are all in good shape. All the greenery along the trails is very lush. 19 Mile Brook is lovely with its pools & waterfalls. I started very early so missed most of the humidity. I ran into "California Joe", an AT thru hiker who began in Georgia and was on the final stretch of hiking 3 more...
