    First Snowshoeing Trip

    So, I just want to add. I have a pretty good amount of experience with snow. It doesn't get as cold down south (NC). I spent a pretty decent amount of time doing winter hikes in NC/ TN so I have a little experience. Snowshoeing doesn't seem like its that much different from actual hiking. I feel...

    First Snowshoeing Trip

    Looking at doing the 19 Mile Brook Trail in mid to late January to Carter Notch Hut as my first SS trip. I wanted to ask if we would be able to get up to the Carters and would it be recommended as a beginner snowshoeing. Was thinking about doing that as our day trip on our second day.

    Anyone regret buying a NON gore-texed boot?

    Have been researching a good winter boot for my first full winter in New England and the Merrell Whiteout 8 are going to be my choice. Hopefully will be on my first snowshoeing trip in the near future.

    Long Trail 12

    I just came over from another website to post that I think I am going to just go for it. The wife seems all about it and says that if I can do what I need to do to make it happen, she will come out on the weekends and meet me and hike some of the highlights. This is coming from someone that has...

    Long Trail 12

    I feel like if I want to do it bad enough, it will happen. Just gotta try and save as much as I can to leave the wife for bills and such. She is all for it regardless. Im thinking 4 weeks for the whole thing. Keep me posted on your plans.

    Long Trail 12

    Not sure yet. Im thinking about the last week in July, I have to be back to start classes at the end of August. I know its one of the worst times to do it but I gotta make do with what I get. I may hike it SOBO too, just still in the dreaming phase. I need to upgrade my footwear to a boot...

    Long Trail 12

    I have read Mags and book marked it. Thanks. Im so stoked about this hike. Kinda glad there aren't many hostels, makes temptation easier to avoid. Glad the resupply issue won't be too much to worry about.

    As fate would have it, it looks like Im going to be able to swing a couple of weeks of long distance hiking this summer. Wife and I did the AT section of the LT and am thinking about finishing it up. Going to get the E2E guidebook and the LT Map. Are their fees in the northern sections? How is...
