Baldpate Leanto. Thats what im seeing on the map and its the northernmost trailhead. Im thinking about just getting an early start. The Leanto will be over run with thru's Im sure.

Camping Any good legal camp spots before the Baldpate Lean-to? We are coming in late Friday and will be looking for something within the 2.2 minus the 1/4 mile boundary within the lean-to. Figured there would be something to settle down on for a quiet night away from the lean to.

We are heading up early Friday morning to the Grafton Loop Trailhead. Any of you guys gonna be out?

Nice meeting you and awesome sunrise picture. Im jealous, I should have stayed and hung out for the night :)

Parked on Friday morning at Zealand Trailhead, started raining 15 minutes in and did not stop until after Mt Tom. It was allgood though. I stayed dry and comfortable. Bugs were really bad. Stayed at Ethan Pond. Interesting coming down off of Mt Willey in the rain. Scary stuff. Woke up really...

Cool, I figure there will be loads of people. I don't think I will have much trouble getting a ride from someone. Im going to park on Haystack at the North Twin TH early tomorrow am and hike up and come out sometime around lunchtime on Sunday at Hale Brook. Im sure it will all work itself out. I...

Yea Id like to have my car at Haystack Road or Hale TH- Zealand Road. I guess I could just wait and see if I can ask someone with the crowds that will be in the hills this weekend. Im guessing its about a 10 mile distance. Im leaving later this afternoon and going to Zealand Campground. Im...

I know the site says June 1, but do they hold pretty true to that? Any chance they would have any shuttles running this weekend? Just figured Id ask:D

I figure if I go up and lollipop back around to Hancock Notch trail and go somewhere in that zone between Cedar and the Trailhead that would be considered ok. I am def trying to make sure all rules are observed.

So if you are a member of the AMC do you not have to pay the day use fee? We just continue to pay it because we don't know the rule on members

Is there really anywhere to camp along the Hancock Notch Trail? May drive up tomorrow late afternoon and stretch out for a nite hike and try to pitch somewhere along the way back to the trailhead so I can get up and out early and drive up to The Mt Hale Trailhead and do an ethan pond Zealand AZ...

Great weekend out. Parked at Lafayette Place and took the Pemi Trail to Liberty Springs. Tented at Liberty Springs and watched the sunset at Liberty. Went over the ridge early on Sunday before the heat set in. Old Bridle was a hot hike. There was very little breeze. Anyway, lots of day hikers...

Yesterday was a perfect day to hike. Most of the roads going to the trailheads look to be open according to the AMC site. Drove all the way in to Zealand Trailhead. Hike was awesome. Past the hut, the trail did get a bit muddy but nothing major. Water was flowing great. Views from Zeacliffs...

or sniff out :)

Still unsure about the snowshoes thing. Ill probably decide at the car. If I bring snowshoes, do I bring crampons? Ill def bring microspikes

Had a great day. First official hike of the spring. Here is the link to my blog for the trip report http://teamchacopak.blogspot.com/

Saw one in the lot at Welch Dickey this morning

Just got back from Welch Dickey and the high summits (Moose, Franconia) still have plenty of snow on the very tops. It was about 80 degrees today but Im sure those high summits are still pretty slick.

I went out in 2010 in the south after the huge storm in the south. There was about 14 inches of crunchy, frozen snow. I did not have any traction and made it fine. Granted there also wasn't the cold wind and temps either. Some of the stories the thru's I met had about what was going on in The...

Thing I am learning, while there is snow on Washington and The Presi's there may not be much snow on the others and with totals down this year. I think the future forecasted warm up will make for some beautiful hiking. Im thinking of adding snowshoes to my load next week.:D Hopefully this system...
