That's a full schedule! Too bad you didn't get many views. You'll just have to come back and visit again on some better weather days. ;)

The Precipice trail just opened for the year on the 23rd. A sharp reminder that there can be no fall zones even on small mountains. Rest in peace, young lady.

Something to note: the last 2 (3?) crossings on the bondcliff trail are completely dry. The one before the stairs had no water. We did see some water running off the rocks around ~4000 feet, but I wouldn't say that's reliable.

Yes, that was me. I thought your picture looked familiar I couldn't place it though. I think we hiked through the new section of the Gale River trail together as a group for a bit if I recall correctly. And from your signature, it looks like we both adopted a trail on the same mountain. Small...

There were lots of ripe blueberries up on Bondcliff this weekend. I haven't been to Blue Job since they've been in season this year. I'll have to make a trip to see how the crops are doing (literally acres of blueberry fields there).

Hi fellow Barrington-ite! :D I think, STP is a necessary evil for the observatory (they raised close to $300k this year I think?) and the summit is always a mess in the summer. Doubly so on STP day. Welcome to the forum!

I think I saw at least 100 people coming up the Bondcliff trail as I was coming down on Saturday before noon. I didn't ask everyone, but many had large packs and, I can only assume a good number had planned on staying at the shelter. I'd say plan on being there before noon if you want a...

Does this help?

I think the literal definition is "most direct route". Here is a discussion of the most direct route to hike the nh 4ks: http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?2088-Shortest-Continuous-Footpath-of-the-New-Hampshire-4000-ers&highlight=diretissima Also this thread (with links to other...

I sweat walking downhill in winter in sub zero temps. :( Glad your hike turned out alright and there was there were no serious side effects!

Thanks for that TR! I've honestly never seen the Grand Canyon in winter. That looks like a great trip at that time of year. I think you've just convinced me to visit in winter. Heat and I don't get along well. :o

In my experience, someone will be waiting at the lot. Or he will find you (especially if you park at the upper lot). ;)

Epic picture Michael. Nice TR and pics. This is one part of the mountains I've yet to visit but it looks amazing.

Moose whisperer masquerading as a Bear whisperer ITT! You have a great knack for this. I'm surprised you haven't found work as a nature photographer (or have you??). I mean honestly, most people can't get animal shots like this. Amazing stuff.

Great essay! You really did well mixing pictures, history, facts and emotions to present the life of a trail maintainer. Huge aside from the awesome trail work story (might be a topic for another thread)... since you brought up the drive north... I've done a lot of driving from NH to the PA...

I like "Maplets". I think it was like 3 bucks or something for the iPad. It's basically like a collection of state park maps, national park maps, bike trail maps, walking maps, subway maps, etc. Like, all the stuff you wont find on acme mapper/mytopo. *note that "offline topo" can be achieved...

Wild River CG was full this Saturday.

I turned around (i.e. stopped and took a nap) on a hike Saturday because I was about to toss some cookies as well. The temperature (and air quality) was awful this weekend! Nice pics and cool route! :D
