Date of Hike: August 17, 2013 Trail Conditions: No notable crossings, one very minor easy-over blowdown. The trail was mostly dry and in good shape. There were some wet patches and a tiny bit of mud, even a puddle or two, but fine other than that. Special Equipment Used: None. Comments: Hiked...

Date of Hike: August 2, 2013 Trails: Nineteen Mile Brook, Carter Dome, and Carter-Moriah Trails. Trail Conditions: All trails were in great shape barring a few avoidable muddy patches. The worst was on the Carter Dome Trail and was hard to get around, but was doable. There were a couple of...

Glad you were able to get it done! (BTW, I can't see the attachments.)

Date of Hike: July 28, 2013 Trail Conditions: The north side of the Imp Trail was in really good shape. A couple of small blowdowns if I recall and only one muddy patch. The part after Imp Face was wetter, muddier, and more slippery but the crossings were easy. More blowdowns. The south side...

Date of Hike: July 28, 2013 Trails: CCW Loop: Unknown Pond Trail, Kilkenny Ridge Trail, The Horn Spur, Mt Cabot Trail, Bunnel Notch Trail, and York Pond Trail. Trail Conditions: The Unknown Pond Trail was very muddy and seriously brushed in. Watch for brambles (but enjoy the berries). There...

Date of Hike: July 26, 2013 Trail Conditions: This will likely be of no surprise, but the Rocky Branch Trail offered up mud, stagnant and running water, blowdowns aplenty, and it was rocky and rooty. In other words, it was normal (I've seen it worse). There were very few bugs, the river...

Date of Hike: July 24, 2013 Trail Conditions: All listed trails were easy going, albeit a bit muddy in places. There were a number of blowdowns; some over-easy, others under-easy (nothing difficult). These trails were heavily traveled (big crowds for a weekday) and the treadways are being...

Date of Hike: July 24, 2013 Trail Conditions: The first mile-and-a-half or so was in mostly good condition with a little bit of mud here and there. There was one large easy-over blowdown that looked fairly new; it was a hardwood, fully downed, but with leaves on the branches. Crossings were...

Date of Hike: July 17, 2013 Trail Conditions: The road access was decent to the 52WAV peak, and the short two-mile trail itself in great condition, barring the beginning where we encountered some avoidable mud. There were a couple of easy-over blowdowns on the trail. Special Equipment Used...

Date of Hike: July 13, 2013 Trail Conditions: The link trail was paved, and the start of the Great Gulf Trail was flat, but further in it was very muddy and difficult to get by in places, but past the first junction it was decent. That is until our return from Sphinx to the Six Husbands...

Date of Hike: July 10, 2013 Trail Conditions: Easy one. Edmands Path was in great condition. No blowdowns, the tiny unbridged crossings super easy, smooth sailing all the way. Rocks and roots were a bit slick due to the wet weather, but even then, no real mud or anything to content with...

The Hillsounds I have don't have those. Mine have a steel plate with teeth on the bottom.

Congrats Roberta! It was such a fun hike, in a great place, with terrific people. It was a pleasure to be a part of it.

Date of Hike: July 4 - July 5, 2013 Trails: Valley Way, Randolph Path, Hincks Trail, Spur Trail, Lowes Path/Israel Ridge, Amphibrach (down), Link (down). Trail Conditions: This report is easily broken into three parts for simplicity: 1) Starting on Valley Way we experienced lots of mud, mainly...

Hi Tim, I called the forest service about it this morning and they did say while mountain biking is allowed on that trail they were glad I called because tracking through mud is not allowed (it effectively says that on the rules sign at the trailhead). They said they are probably going to post...

Date of Hike: June 30, 2013 Trails: Falling Waters, Franconia Ridge, Garfield Ridge, Garfield Trails Trail Conditions: We went up the slightly over-blazed Falling Waters Trail and true to its name we enjoyed the many falls, one of which sort of ran through the trail. Over all it was a bit wet...

Cannon & NE Cannonball via Hi-Cannon, Kinsman Ridge, and Lonesome Lake Trails - 6/27 Date of Hike: June 27, 2013 Trail Conditions: As it was last year, Hi-Cannon was really tight up high in the firs making for a narrow path (notable when the trees are wet). It was also quite eroded. It doesn't...
