    2013 In Review: Peak-Bragging!

    Where do I begin? It has been a huge year for me hiking. In April, I was able to get my drivers license, so the number of hiking trips went through the stratosphere. 1)I knocked off 10 4k's to finish my 48! I finished on Moriah. 2) After finishing the fours, I introduced myself to some...

    Rob Brook Trail -- Redliner Question

    Agreed. I hiked it on a whim a couple months ago. The most annoying part for me was the northern end because there were random little mudholes hidden by the grass. But overall it was easy too follow minus one boggy section. Overall, it was a pretty trail with nice views of the mtns from...

    Rob Brook Trail -- Redliner Question

    I hiked the Bunnel trail a couple weeks ago, from Rob Brook rd. In my opinion its a nice walk (or bike) to the trail, esp during foliage season. I wanted to check out the wet sections of Rob Brook trail but time was running low.

    Status of Dry River Trail?

    Do we know if the trail professionals have made any long term solutions, as stated in the PDF? Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the entire trail is in the wilderness, so I wonder if they just close the trail because its too dangerous?

    Worst bug encounters ever

    You know bugs are bad then its raining and they are still biting you- A week ago, I was walking thru a torrential downpour in Piermont NH, and I got bit by two different horse flies. I hate those darn things! In the Boston Lot area in Lebanon (prob the buggiest place I've ever hiked, and I've...

    Temporary Closure of Lincoln Woods trail

    As much of a bummer it is the trail will be closed, maybe starting August 5th will make it so it reopens by Labor Day weekend. Though they did say 6-8 weeks....but one can hope.

    Piermont Mtn and Peaked Mtn

    Hike 2...Peaked Mountain This mountain sticks out like a sore thumb along Rt 25C, so my interest has been perked for years. You can clearly see there is a large, open cliff, and since I am a view whore, I had to get up there to check it out. Problem is, I heard that the land was private. I...

    Piermont Mtn and Peaked Mtn

    Disclaimer: I asked permission to hike both of these peaks Back on 4/27, I hiked to mountains in Piermont NH. The first one was Piermont Mtn...I went up a trail out of a summer camp, and came down a trail to another summer camp, and walked about 2 miles on the road back to the car. The...

    Blueberry Mtn, Green Mtn, and Lyme trails 4/18-4/20

    Lyme Trails- Last, but by no means least, I checked out some Upper Valley Land trust properties in Lyme, NH. Despite the rain during the first half of the day, it was a rewarding hike. First-the Grant Brook Trail- Could someone identify this? Grant Brook was a-flowin' View to Lyme Hill-i...

    Blueberry Mtn, Green Mtn, and Lyme trails 4/18-4/20

    Green Mtn, Claremont and True's Ledges Next on the agenda was a little known mtn to peakbaggers, and prob many others. It is called Green Mtn, which is the highest point in Claremont, NH. The trail is an access road to some towers. The route is far from picturesque, especially with the crazy...

    Blueberry Mtn, Green Mtn, and Lyme trails 4/18-4/20

    One of the lovely advantages to actually having a car and license is, I can choose to go where I please. This weekend (my weekends are Thur thru Sat) I decided on three different places to visit..Blueberry Mtn in Benton, Green Mtn in Claremont, and some Lyme, NH conserved lands. I will start...

    Visiting Lucy, Ethan, and Kedron 3/22/13

    Why don't we start with a smiley face? Seeing this made me believe this would be a great day of snowshoeing. The original itinerary was to check out Ethan Pond, and possibly go to Shoal Pond if we were feeling up to it, and if the trail was broken. While we didn't end up going to Shoal...

    Weekend the NE Kingdom/Northern NH

    Dixville Notch is beautiful! The snow added to the scenes. Well I guess we know where all the snow is. Lake Gloriette After checking out Dixville Notch, we went north to Pittsburg, and pulled off to get a few shots of Lake Francis. This part of the state truly is beautiful, and I...

    Weekend the NE Kingdom/Northern NH

    I was up in the NE Kingdom of VT and northern NH this past weekend, and I thought I'd show a few pics. I did some minor hiking, but most of it was driving around, checking out the sites. This is the Sheffield town forest, and it appears all the signs are in German. Hunter is very much in his...

    Very cool Kevin. I need to get up there and hike that mtn! It looks like a much quieter trek than the nearby higher peaks.

    Into the Mystic: Middle/South Carter Winter Trip Report [3/2/13]

    That looks like a good way to hike the Carters, esp if you only have one car. Was it hard to find the logging road at Camp Dodge? I'm always weary of bushwhacking, but it looked pretty straightforward from your pics. Awesome report! :)

    Staying Semi Thawed on Moosilauke 2/18/13

    I finally hiked a winter 4K on a classic day!! It was clear, windy, and quite cold. Forecasted winds of 100 mph+ on Mt Washington made me nervous, but not enough to not attempt Moosiluake on Monday with my friend Justin. With a little luck, we would get up there in a semi lull and be able to...

    Mt. Tom, Field and Willey on 2-16-13

    Love the view from Mt Willey, looking over Crawford Notch over to Washington...and then the sneak a views into the Pemi Wilderness along the Willey Range trail. Thanks for bringing me down memory lane. :) Also...7.5 hours book time is summer time I think. Hikes are almost always longer during...
