I did look at Google Earth but don't know how to enter coordinates. I was looking for any semblance of a herd path as I was climbing back to the Mt. Osceola Trail and saw none. The crease may be where the spruce/fir change over to hardwoods.

I'm old school. Don't know anything about coordinates and using GPS. I used the fact that in order to return back to the Mt. Osceola trail I had to climb back up and I kept track of the position of the sun. But to be honest, I did have a "whoa" moment when thrashing in the woods that I wished I...

Reading the old AMC Hiking Guides, it mentioned there was a herd path about 1/4 mile past the summit of Mt. Osceola that diverges to the North, leading a short distance to the Split Cliff, an unusual formation with a spectacular view. GayOutdoors is the trail adopter for the Mt. Osceola Trail...

He looks so happy. And I'm sure you are so pleased about what a great hiking companion he has become. Good for you, Tim!

For some reason, I always liked the naming of this type of traverse in this fashion. OK....for the historians out there...were there any Presidents named in the Presidential Range who were vice-presidents first?

I did this a few years ago and called it a "Vice Presidential Range Traverse." :) The only summit I did was Mt. Washington. It was a fun day getting all the views without doing ALL the work! Have fun!

Cabot was last peak as well! Congrats! There is always another list to do and ADK 46 is a worthwhile goal.

All good suggestions and I would add Jennings Peak going up the Sandwich Mountain Trail and down Drake's Brook. There are some good views southwest from it's sunny ledge.

Yes, he does look ragged. It makes me wonder that given what seems a higher than normal death rate for yearlings, that Fish & Game be more proactive with seeking them out and helping them with survival. I'm not sure exactly what they could do...I'm not an expert; just a thought.

Yes, everyone has the right to believe whomever they choose. I would not rely on 'another' or 'one' scientist to falsify a claim because the probability of having at least ONE scientist disagreeing with each other is high. However when a poll of climate change scientists indicates that the...

It really comes down to...do you believe that climate change is man-made. Forget the scientists. Look around you. What does your gut tell you? What does your instinct tell you? Are you concerned? Do you feel you need to do something or just step aside and watch it all happen? It seems like...

Forest Service contacted me today and informed me Tripoli Road was opened yesterday afternoon even though their official WMNF page still indicates 'closed.' This might mean other roads listed as 'closed' might actually be open as well.

I got some intel from the Forest Service that Tripoli Road will be open by Friday.

I respectfully disagree since most actual scientists that are very much in touch with the scientific community agree that climate change is man-made or man caused. The video you linked to recommends visiting Alex Jones "Info Wars". A 2011 Rolling Stone article described Jones as “a giant in...

I think your best bet is to take a bus from where you live to Lincoln, NH. Since you are an AT section hiker, you might as well get a private shuttle to the AT into Franconia Notch and head north on the AT with as much time as you have. Plan your return with using the AMC Shuttle by becoming...

Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. Click here for a partial list of these...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has just published the third of three working-group reports on where the science of climate change stands, on the effects that the world can expect if greenhouse-gas emissions aren't curbed, and on the options for reducing those risks. Later this...

This is from a WMUR story. I found the comments particularly interesting in how short sighted some people are. It appears that because we had a harsh winter this year, climate change is a myth. Climate change data is about trending...not based on the results of ONE winter. Whether the...

The trail adopter letter from the WMNF Pemigewasset Ranger District went out yesterday and here is this year's schedule: * We will be done [or close to it] with extensive relocations and repairs to the Greeley Ponds Trail, large portions of which were decimated by Tropical Storm Irene * The...

The website lists a number of libraries that carry the Belknap Trails map including Meredith. I went to the Meredith library to pick one up and they have never heard of or carried this map. They would be more than happy to carry it if provided. You might want to make sure that the libraries...
