In my opinion, this trail was a certified POS when it was open. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Climbs the ski trails and is loaded with loose and eroded grus soil, tedious and unenjoyable. I understand since I hiked it it was gone down hill, erosion wise (like all Cannon trails,) and is why...

Looks like the first and last bridges are being re-done. Detours around via the Sherburne Ski trail. http://www.friendsoftuckermanravine.org/tuckerman_ravine_trail

Not signed. But if you’re looking for it, I’d say you can’t miss it. Flows across the trail at a tiny meadow.

A memorable way I’ve made the trip was with a bike stashed in the woods at Glen Boulder trailhead. Hiked the normal way in via Rocky Branch, Iso, Davis. Out via Davis and Glen boulder with a nice stop at the Boott Spur summit on the wayish (small out and back.) The bike between the two...

“5 yr old hikes...” Warner Hill on the AT, off Kirchner Rd near Dalton. Can’t be more than a couple miles out and back round trip. But the summit has a view of Mt Greylock from a clearing. Some of my earliest hiking memories were here. Very easy. Tyringham Cobble. A little more difficult but a...

Tripoli Rd is only closed from Waterville side to the height of land. I was able to hike Tecumseh today from the West via I93/Exit31. Osceola trailhead also accessible via this side, gate is closed just East of the trailhead.

I was up in there this week. I accessed Dry River tr via Dry River Cut-Off so can only comment on the trail from Mt Eisenhower trail junction, North. I stayed a night at Dry River #3, which I thought was in great shape. You are right, Dry River shelters 1&2 are long gone. There are a number of...

And unfortunately even if you do everything you can, they could still be after your catalytic converter for the metals. As happened to my father's Toyota at Jay Pass, VT a few years back. I understand it was a loud ride home!

Far from a bird expert but I'll lobb one up... Sounds like it could be the White-Throated Sparrow? Fairly common above treeline. Love their long, slow song, "Poor old Sam Peabody Peabody Peabody...."

Another vote for BD Flint (Flick?) locks. Twist locks are a head ache.

This girl sounds like a complete crackpot. I got 20 seconds into that ramble and could go no more.

It's gotten better since Irene whipped out the trail through the flood plain, but that's still an area you have to pay attention in the Shelburne's southern end. Best to do that while fresh and in guaranteed daylight. Other than that I've had no trouble either time through there following the...

I did this loop up MB down Shelburne via Wild River last year early November. We didn't have to get our feet wet at the Wild River crossing. Even recrossed on the return in the dark. Disclaimer: The gf and I are relatively nimble. Edit: Just looked at my records and said crossing was done at 48...

Just curious, whats the fine for parking without a pass?

I much preferred Seawall Campground's to Blackwoods' camping experience because of their 'walk-in' sites. Much more privacy, quiet, and cheaper. My 'walk' was only 20 yds , YMMV. At Blackwoods my fire ring was 5 yds from my neighbor's table. Folks of all ages and decibel levels running and bike...

I've woke up to the calls of a coyote pack 100 yards away while camped above Shoal Pond in the Pemi. I suspect they were following the trail down by the pond around first light in the AM. I was solo and it was a little unnerving only armed with a 6 inch Buck knife, never forget it.

I've seen them set up at the end of Hut Road in Stoneham, ME (Great Brook trail.) Friendly, but kind of a weird transient hippy scene.

Wind blown sleet today on Mt Jackson, 12pm. No accumulation, but felt great to the face.

If he truly was found at treeline as the article indicates, that'd be further down the mountain in the ravine. Either way, RIP and everyone take care out there.
