Mark: Fortunately for us, the weather was great for the remainder of the week. Sometimes a day of short hikes with views can be as satisfying as a day on a 4000 footer. Phil: The falls were amazing. We hadn't been at the Ellis falls for 20 years. Mac: Square Ledge is one of our...

Thanks all! Keith: Cabot was a pretty challenging hike for us considering the weather. We had a few doubts about the forecast but forged ahead. Karen: Nice to be able to "check" Cabot off our list. We will certainly contact you next time we are in the White Mountains. Not til the fall...

Potash and Hedgehog are a couple of the "gems of the White Mountains. Thanks, WMH for taking a look. Mark, Never really thought of the 52WAV list. I should go back and see how many we've hiked over the years. Donna:)

Thanks Karl, we did check out the entire summit of Pemigewasset (which you probably saw the photos by now). A different perspective as the sun was setting too. Mark, you know how the story goes by this time. ;) Donna:)

Acadia I figure only 103 days til we take our spring trip to Maine; including Bar Harbor. :) Mike

We had heard many good things about the Ossipees and here was our opportunity to give them a try since we were using Brisol, NH as our base for the last two days of our winter vacation. After a fantastic breakfast at the Henry Whipple House (B & B), we were ready to go. The trailhead was...

Donna and I did a couple of short hikes in Maine near Fryeburg while we were still on the Jackson side of town. Jockey Cap proved interesting in that at the top stood a structure which looks like the knight piece of a chess set. Looking closer it was actually a device which would allow someone...

We took several short hikes around Pinkham Notch to Lady's Lookout, Square Ledge, Lost Pond and Glen Ellis Falls. After dinner, we returned to Lost Pond for an evening hike under the stars. The view from Lady's Lookout towards Mount Washington. Mount Washington from Square Ledge. On...

You might say that this hike originated months ago when we hooked up with Mark Truman and his wife Natalie on our fall trip to the White Mountains. We tentatively planned on Mount Cabot for our winter journey north; meeting up with our good friends from Rhode Island while they stayed several...

Congratulations to the "little guy" and "human companion". Love the avatar too. Donna:)

Our first full day in New Hampshire started with an excellent breakfast at the Sunny Day Diner and a close encounter with fellow View From The Top hikers; Mark Tuckerman (aka: Silverfox) and Valerie Charboneau. It was good seeing you guys. Afterwards, we drove along the Kancamagus Highway to...

We made excellent time getting to New Hampshire and Franconia Notch Motel that we decided to do a warm up hike to the summit of Indian Head; a mountain just north of our base for the next couple of days. The trailhead was plowed shut except for a narrow lane groomed for snowmobiles. The...

Love The Spikes Microspikes - one of the best traction devices to come along. Been using them for years now. They are a great alternative, if conditions warrant them, instead of heavy crampons. Not a big fan of crampons. I will agree that they can ball up underneath when the snow is wet but...

Mark, It doesn't get any better than this. Until perhaps, Monday?:) Terrific report as always and pictures too.... Donna:)

Tim, A wonderful walk. A spectacular day and photos too! Donna:)

Lots of luck, Dan. Look forward to Part II :D Donna:)

Great hike and photos, in particular of Star and the rime ice. Good luck on the new job too! Donna:)

Keith, A nice pair to add to your winter list. It looks absolutely beautiful in the mountains now. That was an amazing game! Both teams played well. Still hard to believe; the game ended as it did.:( Enjoy the Superbowl! Donna:)

Joe, Lots of great shots. Looks like a real fine loop. We'll have to add it to our "to do" list for our next trip. Always looking for new ideas. You can't miss the signs on those trails. Donna:)

Phil, Taking everything into account, still a terrific day to be out in the mountains. Great winter pictures. Glad to see the "white" now. Donna:)
