No, we got down midafternoon. I deliberately underexposed that last shot...

beautiful shot, thanks for sharing.

I used Hillshounds all day. But with the benefit of hindsight, I will recommend crampons and an ice axe for the Flume Slide Trail, based less perhaps on the probability of falling than on the consequences if one were to fall. Liberty Spring Trail is in beautiful condition for a quick descent...

The Firewarden Trail was a bit soft at higher elevations, but not soft enough so that I regretted not bringing snowshoes. Four out of six of us brought snowshoes, but none bothered putting them on. Not a super scenic hike, of course, but I can always find something to point the camera at...

A few shots from our hike of Mt Crawford, Saturday 1/14 via the Davis Path. Hillshounds worked great. One of the better "bang for the buck" hikes in the Whites! Jonathan

Nice shots, thank you!

Thank you for the kind comments, very much appreciated. DayTrip, the Owl is a terrific hike, great bang for the buck, well worth your attention. Amicus, beautiful shot, thank you for sharing. The Traveler Loop is one of my favorite hikes in the park. I was last there in June of this year...

A few shots from last weekend's four-night trip to Baxter. We chilled in lean-tos at Katahdin Stream Campground and hiked Katahdin (Sat. 10/8) and the Owl (Sun. 10/9) as well as doing a bit of paddling and a few shorter hikes. A view from the Hunt Trail South Peak from Baxter Peak...

A brisk, breezy day hiking the Carters. Plenty of autumn color showing, numerous smiling northbound thru-hikers encountered along the way, and three more WM48 peaks for Katie the Wonder Dog. Hobblebush A view from the Imp Trail Good Karma Needle Nose Just Across The Road Zig Zag...

We ascended via Ammonoosuc Ravine and descended via Edmands Path. A beautiful day to be out! Thanks to Good Karma, Ruby, and Katie the Wonder Dog. Ascending Ammo Obligatory Portrait of George Good Karma and Katie, ascending from the Lakes hut Shot from near the Monroe summit The...

We celebrated Owen H's 12th birthday with his first hike of Mt Katahdin, and a beautiful day it was. We adjusted our original plan to do both Hamlin and Baxter Peaks when it became clear we didn't have time to do both. So, Baxter Peak it was, up and down via the Chimney Pond and Saddle...

Wonderful pics Billy! I especially like the last one. It sure was a beautiful day.

It was a spectacular day to be above treeline. Thanks to Good Karma, Sarah G and Katie the hiking dog, who now has four Presi peaks and 10+ 4ks under her collar. =) Carmen and Sarah - all smiles A panoramic from Adams The summit of Washington peeks through the clouds. Sedges are...

A few shots from last Saturday's return to the spectacular Traveler Loop. We tented Friday and Saturday nights at South Branch Pond. On Peak of the Ridges The Big K in the distance Lower South Branch Pond, by moonlight, Saturday night. It was windy and wavy (water smoothed out by long...

Thank you! Not a lot of other hikers. A few on the summit - not sure when that was, but it was definitely well after 10:30.

A spectacular spring day in the Presis. There is still plenty of ice at higher elevations. At times we almost wanted crampons. But we got the job done with Hillshounds and extra caution. These shots and a few more are on Zenfolio (gallery, slide show)

Here are a couple more images, and links to the gallery and slide show. Abol Beach Fran, on the relocated section of the Abol Trail Truth in Advertising sunbeams, shot while descending Stump Pond It was a great trip. Thanks to Carmen, John, Fran and Jerry.

Two nights spent at the Abol Campground; summited Saturday 3/12 via the relocated Abol Trail. It's a skating rink on the Table Land. We made it to the top in spikes, with considerable caution and good luck, but we passed on heading over to Hamlin as we had hoped to do. Even on moderate...

Spectacular photos, thank you for sharing!
