After a lot of effort, I finally convinced MEB and Andy to bail on their plans to hike Whiteface/Passaconaway, and join me instead on an above treeline adventure. The weather was spectacular! We headed up the Jewel trail around 8:30. Andy and I wore snowshoes until treeline, while MEB...

There's nothing like the challenge that waits when someone tells you "You definitely should not go up that trail, it's way too dangerous, and no one has been up there for weeks." This sums up what MEB, Andy and I heard from the AMC workers at Pinkham, regarding the approach to Wildcat A from...

Meb and I left Freeport ridiculously early Saturday morning to squeeze in a "quick hike" and make it back home in time for family dinners. We had decided to tackle the Osceolas....why not, it's fairly short mileage, and driving time is reasonable too. So we're on the trail a bit before 8am...

Great TR. Thanks to this team of Mean Girls for making my 1st winter trip to Baxter the best!!

Meb and I meet Andy at Sawyer Rd at 9am. Shortly after, Cold Mountain pulled in and to our great surprise was joining us for our hike! We were all so happy to see an old hiking friend. We started up the road a little after 9 and made it to the trailhead right around 10. Right away we saw the...

thanks for the suggestion, although I might use the failure as an excuse to buy a smaller, more compact camera that will fit in my pocket :D

The road was plowed. There was a very thin coating of fresh powder, and I think Meb and I both go by "rather wear them than carry them" rule. I'm sure it would have been fine bear booting. A preference thing!

Despite the cold temperatures and biting wind, Meb and I ventured out Sunday morning to bag Hale. We were looking for a quick hike that would get me home in time for the Pats game. It was 6 degrees at the trailhead, brrrr. We didn't layer up too much because the initial part of the Zealand Rd...

Meb and I left the Zealand parking lot saturday morning all set for a day of adventure! The Zealand trail was great, flat and easy, with lots of wildflowers in bloom along the way. Meb took pictures of them all so that we could identify them later using her new "Wildflower Identification...

Sounds like fun. I'll be there!!

Way to go Mad Townie!! Sounds like a very memorable #48!!

WAY TO GO MEB!!! This has been quite an adventure!! I couldn't ask for a better hiking sister :D And thanks to action Cath for joining us on so many hikes....and for the pink m&ms.

Meb and I set out from Freeport on a very cold morning. Our planned adventure for the day was to climb N and S Crocker and Reddington!! We met up with Cath, our fearless driver, who braved CVR and brought us to within a mile of the trailhead. There was another car, and we had high hopes that...

Great weekend of hiking in Vermont. I'll definitely have to return for the views, because in case Meb didn't mention it, we got NO views!! A bazzillion thanks to Andy for letting me use his shower and for being a chauffer and mountain guide :) Thanks UFC for opening up your home and...

Hey Christine Congratulations!!! Can't wait to read the full report. Rachel

Way to go Karen and Marcia!! Glad to be a part of your 48. Thanks for all the laughs. Can't wait to get to those winter peaks :D

I am looking for information on the trail going up Burnt mountain(you know the one next to Sugarloaf in Maine). About how long is it and is it suitable for children? MEB and I are thinking about taking our neices (ages 12, 10 and 8) for a sunset hike. Thanks for any information :D

What an incrdible day!! Karen - you're right on, great day, great hike, great company. Lucky for us we got fantastic weather. Thanks for the cookies at Lakes, what a treat! And even though we missed mooning the cog, we did get a half moon from MEB for a few miles :D Looking forward to...

yes - tons of fun. The only way to have fun in that kind of weather is to be in really good company :) Thanks for all the laughs!!

It's one of the best places for people watching!! And, there is nothing better than a whoopie pie in the middle of a long hike. Plus, for me I say why complain, it's not like I can change it :D
