I have been using two Silky saws for the last six years: The Big Boy 2000 (yes that's the real name :D) for day long trail patrol and taking out both large and small blowdowns and branch trimming and the Pocket Boy 170 more for winter when taking out just the branches on a large blowdown that's...

Hey Tim- You must have been on Clay as we walked below you on the Gulfside. Great to see lots of people out and about on that fine day. John

You are absolutely right! I just spaced it. It truly was an incredible day.

Possibly, but maybe not. A high of 30 degrees, light winds, abundant sunshine, abundant undercast, excellent hiking conditions...does it get any better? We did not carry snowshoes nor crampons and we did not need them. We used our spikes door to door. Lots of people on these three high peaks...

A number of interesting items: Removal of Langdon shelter. No replacement. Moriah Brook bridge study Guyot Shelter repair/rehab along with removing structures from the Pemi Wilderness area Thoreau Falls bridge update Decommission New Path trail 1.4 miles along with new parking lot and trail...

Bear Notch Rd was gated at the Bartlett end today, 12/6/15.

Daybreak.

On three separate days in October, June and I explored Piermont Mountain and its environs. What we discovered is that Piermont is one incredible mountain. The view from the summit itself is extraordinary. The ledges that make up this mountain are countless, beautiful and awe inspiring. The...

This is from the RMC's Log Cabin off Lowe's Path.

Mt. Jasper isn't the biggest of mountains (1,584'), doesn't have the longest trail (only .75m), isn't on any major list (though it is on some lists, I'm sure) but it is a lot of fun to hike and has some history dating back 9,000 years. I won't go into the historical significance of the mountain...

Thanks Chip, Tom (Happy belated birthday), Summerset (aka Pom-Poms who hiked the AT this summer. Congratulations!!), LeftyE and Stinkyfeet! Any day out in the woods is a good day! A handful of pictures from the hike. Wind turbines on Jericho Mountain from the Gulfside. Zoomed in view...

I agree with Stinkyfeet. The trip over to SWT from the Twinway wasn't the horror story I thought it was going to be. Not easy but not hard either. It's the descent and ascent to SWT, then the descent and ascent to the Twinway and then the final ascent back up to South Twin that's tiring. A...

The weather in October in the White Mountains can always be fickle, especially above tree line. It can be 50 degrees with clear blue skies and calm winds or 10 degrees with heavy snow, whipped by 60 mile an hour winds. I was waiting for one of the former days and I got it. At noontime on the...

Back during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, an extremely large culvert was washed out on the East Branch Truck Road/Pemi East Side Trail about one mile in from Lincoln Woods. Hikers have been rock hopping the stream at this culvert ever since. The Forest Service decided they would replace the...

A handful of pictures of the current water levels after today's 3.8" rain in Twin Mountain. Rivers are cranking! Ammo River from the Zealand Rd. bridge. Avalon trail river crossing going up Tom/Avalon. Closer look. Silver Cascade. Flume Cascade. Slide on the side of Mt. Willey...

Some random summer shots from in and around the White Mountains as I watch the rain fall and the rain gauge quickly fills up with 3" so far. Sunrise over Middle Sugarloaf An old Indian Backpack Fire Pump. Triangulation Station. Bald Ledge was the former name of this peak. Norcross Pond...

Those gullies are exceptionally challenging when the snow is deep and unconsolidated. The deep snow just swallows up skiers as the steep drop takes them in and refuses to let them up the other side. Forward momentum comes to a quick stop at the bottom of the gullies. Tropical storm Irene...
