Excellent idea, Instead of everyone pointing fingers, making assumptions, or presume how and debris got there why not contact the land owners, local snowmobile (or ATV) club, LRCT or anyone else and offer to help. As a person who believes action speaks louder than words and a hiker that...

Date of Hike: Friday 6/19/09 Trail Conditions: Hi Cannon - Evidence of many hikers bypassing many switchbacks manking for an eroded trail. Trail was narrow and the shoulder brushing spruce quickly soaked everything I was wearing. Kinsman Ridge - Wet and muddy. Many ankle deep mud holes on...

Perfect opportunity to tackle Owl's Head.

I hiked Mendon from the North side unnamed logging road on Memorial day weekend and was all over the col area. Herd paths are everywhere however I didn't find a substantial trail. I'm not willing to admit it wasn't there only that I didn't find it. I also see the trail on copies of MyTOPO maps...

Thanks for the green dot.

I've wanted to share my passion for the outdoors with my 2.5 year old Li'l Puckette hoping she will love and respect nature as much as I do. I've been searching for a family friendly, gradual incline hike to a rewarding destination. I didn't want to overwhelm her with one of my crazy adventures...

While bushwhacking deep in the Pemigewasset wilderness I spotted this

I hiked your suggested route in 2005 and the herd path from Crocker to Redington was failry easy to navigate - it was my first "official" bushwhack. The most challenging portion is the first few tenths through some evergreen. The AMC 4000 footer committee has a recommended route posted on...

After reasearching several mapping sources for the logging road that starts at Killington's Bucklin trailhead and follows Eddy Brook all sources seemed fairly consistent except the VT DeLorme guide which labels the logging road as the "AMC Trail". The route had no trail markings, signs or...

Parked at Killington's Bucklin trailhead and followed Eddy Brook logging road - In the VT DeLorme atlas this is shown as the "AMC Trail". Stayed on the logging road at the first crossing and bushwhacked back to the ideal route just below the 3rd crossing. My counting is not so good and I...

Date of Hike: Saturday, February 7, 2009 Trail Conditions: Packed powder Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes, crampons for steep sections Comments: Parked on the side of 112 room for 6-8 cars. Pine Bend Brook was a 18-24" wide channel well packed 6-12" deep, perfect for MSR's...
