You can park your car at Mountain Harbor and get a shuttle to Carvers Gap or The other side of Roan. Roan has some similarities to hiking up here and has a really nice climb. The balds and the humps and Houston Ridge are a must see in NC along the AT. Its the crown jewel of the south and you can...

Great great hike Sunday 4-28-13 for us and the pup. Lots of folks in sneakers and without traction :eek:. We wore microspikes about 70% of the time especially on the big climb to the leadges. There is some snow right as you come out of the woods after the junction and the last big climb up and...

Hammond Trail to Chocorua has snow and ice above 2500. Mostly wet slippery slabs along the rocky sections.

took awhile to spot any ice but once we got up, it was all on the trail. The rock slabs past the Liberty Cabin were tough to manage with a puppy. I turned back about .3 from the summit before the chute up to the summit. It was tough to manage with microspikes in spots and our pup lost his...

Excellent, thanks. That loop looks great on the map Trail Bandit. Im trying to keep the miles low for our 5 month old pup but Im thinking he is ready to stretch out a little more.

Lookin at this hike for Sunday's beautiful weather. I see on nhtrails that the bridge was washed out. Should I just go Hammond Trail or maybe Carter Ledge? Also does anyone know about White Ledge Parking?

We only carried microspikes and wore them most of the way. There is still plenty of snow from the ski trail junction to the...

We did a short overnight to the hut via 19 Mile Brook Trail. The temps were around 0 when we started. The trail was postholed and difficult to manage in some spots especially after the Carter Dome Trail Junction. The next day going back down was great, fresh 3-4 inches of snow. Great for...

Time to punch this mountain in the face

I suggest google plus and picasa as well as blogger as a whole package deal. Great way to blog about hiking and have the social media part all intact with photo sharing all within reach and easy to access. Your pictures are spectacular as well as the narrative. I learned alot. Heading out...

Im a massage therapist and I use Biofreeze and have switched over to Tiger Balm Ultra Strength. I like Tiger Balm better because it tends to heklp the muscles actually relax. I feel like it gets deeper that biofreeze. Biofreeze makes a roll on that is great for the backpack.

Drove up Friday evening to the trailhead at north 26. It rained hard from the moment we drove through Franconia Notch. Plan was to do all of Grafton Loop Trail but work chopped one of our days in half. We waited the rain out til 7pm and hiked up to Baldpate LeanTo. There were 4 thru hikers. Camp...

Yea and Im an idiot. There is a Bald Mtn on teh sourthern end. I was looking for something in red on teh map that said campsite or lean to. My apologies. There are platforms there?
