Meaning, can you drive to the summit parking lot, hike from the summit of Washington over to Adams, and have Adams count as a 4k, if you have never done it before?

Rules.... http://www.amc4000footer.org/faq.htm#rules1 It says something here about the auto road, but is pretty unclear. To me this infers that we are talking about just Mt Washington, Mansfield, or Equinox. If you say, drive up to the Alpine Garden trail on the road, then hike over to...

A question I never thought about...... My girlfriend was asking me a whole bunch of hiking questions, and was commenting on how she wouldn't mind taking the cog up to Washington, and then possbily hiking down....which lead to me ponder.... Does it count as a 4000 footer if you drive to the...

Up to 150,000 ticks on one moose!?! Wow. Crazy to think about that....

Agreed!! And thanks. You too :)

..in Chester, NH... wrong place? Well perhaps. I definitely wasn't in the heaviest moose traveled section in NH, but I have seen tracks, dung, and even snapped a picture of the big guy back in June of 2010. I wasn't really looking for moose at first. I just wanted to get out on a rare 50...

Thanks everybody for the kind words! Una dogger.....I love that toy, I've had it for 5 years year and it still works like it is just as new. Here is a website for it. http://www.kestrelmeters.com/ I think I want to 3500 next. Right now I have the kestrel 2500.

When I bought a pair of stabilicers, it ended up being a defunct pair, so the little screws came out after only one hike. It made for an interesting descent of Kearsarge North along those ledges. These look like more of the same, perhaps they are more sturdy and don't get as damaged, but the...

This article rubbed me the wrong way. I don't like cell phones. I don't text, and my own is an old school phone that I only use to talk with (ya know, what a phone is supposed to be for). That being said, to get mad at someone for using their phone while hiking is silly. Everyone uses...

Hmm that is a good question. We did the Glencliff trail on Friday just because we assumed the Ravine Lodge road was closed.

Time of year didn't help matters either. Hiking in December with little snow down low, and it being a mud, boot sucking mess didn't help the appeal along that much. But I was mainly speaking of the long climb from about 2500 feet and up to treeline. Perhaps it was because I was huffing and...

Pizzart 2 This is where the hiked turned into a wild ride. As soon as the trees disappeared to our left, the winds ramped up and became very gusty. It was a cross wind, so that added to the fun. I took few pics in this area because, well...I couldn't do it. Taking out my camera took too...

This was a hike of opposites. The approach to treeline couldn't have been more dull, but then once we poked our heads out into the open, it turned into an incredible adventure. While we didn't hit the summit, my altimeter read 4700 feet, close enough for me. The winds were just a little too...

Neat stuff, I've been wanting to get over to that side of the whites for awhile now. Cool pics. :)

Wow, thats sad that you had to deal with something like that. Glad everything turned out fine...and a great teachable moment for all. Its also sad that some cities have let their natural wonders go to waste. Even when I lived in DC, the hiking trails in and around the urban sprawl, while...

Wow, my deepest condolences on your loss. I loved your trip reports involving Brutus. I wish I could have met him, the pics really do tell 1000 words.

Nah I live up in Lebanon now. Back when I was a kid my father and I fished a section in...New Boston maybe? Can't remember exactly, but it was a really pretty stretch of river.

Burke Mtn VT, and Wachusett Mtn MA have them too. If you think those are cool, check out the ski areas that are out west too. I'm looking at Snowbird, UT right now.

Thanks for posting this....I've wondered what those trails are like. Further upstream, that river is a gem.
