Debating two options now: Wright, Algonquin, Iroquois, and back through Avalanche Pass. Or... Sawteeth, Gothics, Armstrong, Upper and Lower Wolfjaw, from St. Huberts. Strongly leaning towards the latter.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Now to pull out the maps and try to figure out some options. :)

I have a wedding to attend in upstate New York early next month, and that finds me in the enviable position of being able to squeeze in a hike in the Adirondacks beforehand. I've never hiked in New York before, and wanted to get some input from those who have. My question is this: What's the...

Well, I can only give you my impressions on two of the three, the Kilkenny Ridge, and the Tripyramid/Sleepers/Pass/Whiteface loop (herein referred to as the Sandwich Range loop). The Wildcats/Carters traverse is still on my list. By the numbers, the Kilkenny Ridge traverse is the more...

Instead of posting trail conditions here, I figured I'd actually do a little trip report. I planned this hike for the Meetup group, Random Group of Hikers, and was joined by Mike (NH Tramper), Maher, and Jesse. The plan was to do a south to north traverse (Eastman to East Royce). The small group...

Count me in, depending on the date. Still need No. Brother, Fort, and Hamlin.

Sandwich Notch Road was open today, though WMNF site still lists it as closed. Drove it end to end, rough in spots, but passable with care.

Trails: Carter Ledge Trail, bushwhack, Middle Sister Trail, Piper Trail, West Side Trail, Liberty Trail, Camp Penacook Spur, roadwalk Trying to avoid snow, I decided to give these ones another go, and bring proper photographic equipment. Carter Ledge Trail clear and dry, with the exception of a...

I have no knowledge of its current condition, but was last on the CVR in November 2012. Then, the road was in decent shape, some washboard sections, and one section on a hill that was somewhat eroded, but the bridges were good. That said, I made it easily in the sedan I had at the time. The road...

Trails: Mt. Meader Trail, Brickett Falls Spur, Meader Ridge Trail This was a scouting hike to check out conditions on Meader Ridge Trail. Found variable conditions down low, snow from the start, leading to dry and wet sections of bare trail, leading to more snow. Rinse and repeat. I barebooted...

Myself and a group of four others did a traverse of the Moats from north to south, all on the Moat Mountain Trail. The trail started and ended as a skating rink, with a lot of ice on the trail, microspikes (or equivalent) were the traction of choice here. Above the Attitash Trail junction, snow...

It had been exactly two years and four days, since my first hike to Mt. Garfield. At that time, with much deeper snow, I had seen ski tracks, flirting with the woods on the trail, and thought to myself... self, you too could do this! The time finally came, and I returned to Garfield, armed with...

Of the non-4k peaks I've done, Doubletop in Baxter is the tops. I hear the Traveler (Peak of the Ridges specifically) is fantastic as well. The peaks along Montalban Ridge south of Isolation (Davis, Stairs, Crawford) are great too.

For what its worth, I know in 2011, the road was opened for the season on May 6th.

An amazing athletic feat to say the least! A well deserved congratulations to Adam! :D

In the absence Mike (NH Tramper), who is climbing Mt. Washington today, I offered to step in and do his usual conditions report. Though I didn't have the wherewithal to stay up late last night typing out not only my report, but this. :p Conditions: We encountered a well packed, firm, snowshoe...

Thanks Kevin. I think my biggest issue with doing it north to south, is the 5 miles of lower Bondcliff Trail and Lincoln Woods... the flatness kills me at the end of a long hike. So much so, that I'd rather get that done as the warm up, than the cool down. Though coming from the north saves 500...

Mike (NH Tramper) and I are planning a Bonds/Zealand/Hale traverse, going south to north, and I just had a question as to the exit. With Hale being the final peak, which is the shortest exit, Firewardens to North Twin Trail to Little River Road, or Hale Brook to Zealand Road and out? Neither of...

Yeah, there were two bridges, but the abutments on the first bridge were washed away (or removed), unlike the second. I've seen some scuttlebut about two approaches from the south, one using a snowmobile trail directly to the summit (found the directions HERE), and another using logging roads...

Mike and I ate there last week, I'd rank it as the best meal I've had in the last 5 years. Definitely fine dining, but they didn't seem to care that we were likely smelly and still in our hiking clothes. The service was great, and as stated, the food was fantastic. Living in such a food-centric...
