Wondering if anyone might know why Bowman trailhead on Rt. 2, Owl's Head on Rt. 115 and Cherry Mt. also on 115 are not plowed in the winter??? A trip up to Mt. Martha is an excellent warm up hike and would also be a nice family style outing (great views from Mt. Martha summit in two different...

Parking lot off of Rt. 115 was not plowed; my Tacoma made it in using 4 wheel drive while Priscilla's Outback with AWD and new snow tires was not able to make it all the way in; she parked off the pavement on 115 and was still there when we returned. Don't know if the ruts in the parking lot...

Lucky enough to accompany redliners Priscilla and Michelle (of this forum), and helping out friend Rod complete a couple of rounds of the 48th within a calendar year..would like to get to the ADKs to get some more over there, and re explore Maine and Vt. peaks too, and hit some not...

Black Cap in N Conway always seems to have hikers of all ages on the summit ledges, and a much better view than say The Roost...did you mean Square Ledge in Pinkham Notch?? looks like it might have been combined with Crystal Cascade, one could add Lost Pond and that would be a nice trip...save...

Of course it always depends on if the trails have been broken out...I have had good luck with the Kendron Flume Trail route, which for some reason to me, is more interesting than doing the road walk up to the Ethan Pond trail..did not even need snowshoes once (traction needed) and the ladders...

Though not a very fancy name, "snow rollers" are a rarity...maybe once or twice a year, weather, wind, and snow conditions need to be perfect...some fields in Milan, NH, seem to be right in the wind tunnel and I have seen about 5 acres of the rollers at one time...and seen a few above treeline...

Have had good luck with Rocky Lynx boots, 800 gram insulation...they are a good fit for my MSR snowshoes...also use Garmont 400 gram insulation (could not find a model name on them) which I like to use when I know I will not need snowshoes..a good fit for microspikes and hillsound light...

Been lucky enough to be able to ID Mt. Washington and the Boston skyline, on the same hike, from South Pack Monadnock and on another hike on Monadnock...and I think Blue Job Mt. too...there seemed to be a haze surrounding Boston so maybe one can not see out as far as one can see in....

The Hometown Market and Grill recently closed, unfortunately...

Thanks for the excellent trip report and pics...looks like the weather and terrain made for some interesting sights!!

Thanks for the updated info, guess I should get down there to check it since I have not since early spring!!

Presidentials looked pretty winter like late today, around sunset...maybe peakbagger will give an update tomorrow AM, because it was very windy and snow squalls when I drove through the notch around 1 PM...

Washington is visible from West Bond (just the very tip) and the very tip of West Bond is visible from Washington but only in good light......

Could be the Eastern Depot at the corner of Unity and Hutchins St. in Berlin. 752-1505....about a mile before Success Pond Rd...old train station...think they open early to cater to the workers at the biomass project...there's also another new one in Berlin on Main St. near NE Credit Union...

Yes the trail is accessible from the Rt. 16 railroad trestle...once across the Androscoggin, take the gravel road to the left and keep going or climb the bank up to the old railroad grade and go straight (they both lead to the same place)...there are some signs showing the way, but once past a...

Just wanted to give a heads up on a new "old" motel....now open under new management is the Mount Jefferson View Motel & Cabins, located on Rt. 2 in Randolph, right at the intersection with Valley Road. Website is www.mountjeffersonview.com 14 motel rooms and 7 cabins..the cabins won't be...

And Milan Hill, Mollidgewock, and Umbagog State Parks (campgrounds) still open...perfect time to grab some far north redline trails!! Moose Brook in Gorham is listed on the NH State Parks website as closed as of 10-14-13...

Just wondering if anyone could give some info on lodging over by Mt. Abraham and Mt. Ellen...did some on line looking but nothing is more valuable than hearing from someone who may know!! thanks, Lefty E

Trails: Carlo Col, Mahoosuc, and Goose Eye. Conditions: other than some spots with running water, hidden roots and small rocks and mud pits from fallen leaves, trails in good shape..well brushed and blazed...a blowdown on Carlo Col, 1 on Mahoosuc, and 3 on Goose Eye, but nothing major..water...

Forgot to mention did Willey via Kendron Flume Trail up to Ethan Pond Trail then of course Willey Range...Willey House site was nicely plowed and always seems to be plowed...and I was lucky as all trails were nicely packed out and the ladders were covered with snow so it was easy going other...
