Hey! You can make a loop, if you don't mind doing a little bit of a road walk...though its a back road so it is almost like a trail anyways. Drive to the Daniel Doan trailhead on Mousley Brook Rd, ascend Daniel Doan to the top, then go down the "J" trail (which is also the AT) down to Quintown...

Part 2, a few more One more parting shot, one of my fav views, looking down along the AT, AScutney and beyond Now, for the Daniel Doan trail: The top 1/3 was....terrible. Heavy rain for 2 nights before made it feel like the trail had ice on every rock or root. Because of this, I took no...

Last Thursday was an excellent day to Smarts Mtn. We went up Lambert Ridge trail, and descended a new way for me...the Daniel Doan Trail. I've heard conflicting reports on this one...the top part is very wet and slick, and the lower part a gorgeous walk in the woods. More on that later...but...

Question tp the hammock users- How do you guys stay warm? I tend to have a lot of body heat for reserves, but still I tend to chill easily, esp outside. Even right now my nose is freezing inside.:confused:

BUMP Anybody been over there lately? I'd like to hike it this week...and while there hasn't been an update on the site, I was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience.

This was a much planned trip back to North Lafayette via the Skookumchuck trail. Back in Jan of 2011 I attempted it with some friends but we lost the trail, and had to turn around. After seeing where the trail went last Friday, I felt kind of stupid, but the amount of snow obscured the trail...

Yes I did! Bought em in 2006, and they have finally succumbed to my constant abuse. If I had babied them a bit, I prob could have got another yr out of them. Haha great noise! Glad I didn't hear that Saturday.

Boots side note If some of you look thru my pics, you will see the decrepit state my boots are in...my Asolos have lasted 7 long, hard, and arduous years, but I guess it is time to throw in the towel and buy a new pair. The Vibram sole fell off my left boot on the summit of south peak, and the...

I went on what is possibly my 500th summit of Mt Moosilauke last Saturday. But it never disappoints! I brought (she says dragged) my girlfriend along, though I think she enjoyed it, to the point where we may be doing other larger scale hikes in the future, possibly more 4000 footers. view...

a few more... measuring wind speed this slide looks quite fresh...Irene?? Looking down from the classic cliff looks like a very difficult climb down One more shot! Ok, now it was time for the 9+ mile walk back to the car...something I was absolutely dreading. I had already gone...

After making it to Owls Head last October, I figured it would be a "cinch" to make it to Bondcliff. Well maybe not a cinch, but doable. My original trip plan was to make the loop around Owls Head mtn, stop at Thirteen Falls for an extended lunch, then head out on the Franconia Brook trail...

HI all! I was wondering if anyone has been past the Owls Head slide along the Lincoln Brook trail...I'm thinking of doing a long loop around Owls Head and visiting Thirteen Falls. I've heard that it is tough to follow in places at the height of land. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks in...

I agree with this one as well. Its a great "mellow" trek to the summit, as long as aren't against hiking the approx 5.7 mi distance it takes to make it to the top. Still, going down Gorge Brook or the Carriage Rd to Snapper is below 10 miles roundtrip if you are concerned about distance.

Hmm, it is all relative to what you think is scenic. I do have to agree that doing the Gorge Brook, Carriage Rd, to South Peak, then down to Snapper and back to the Ravine Lodge is a pretty classic way of hiking it, and possibly has the most variety of scenery along the way. But a close second...

According to the sign at the beginning to the Ore Hill tr on Cape Moonshine Rd...tenting is allowed...at least thats what I infer. I didn't sit on the terlit...but here it is in all its glory

Almost certain that is a pine marten. Nice find! Good thing it didn't get into your pack. They are worse than mice in my opinion.

I was thinking the same thing...but what can you expect from the newspapers or other media? Another thing I didn't realize was that Rocky Branch was closed? I've seen several reports hiking up to Isolation using that trail.

I do...just bought one. But I didn't bring it along because I didn't see any areas that I could reliably filter. I crossed one stream, but that was only after I was on the wrong trail. From now on....I shall bring it!

Ahh, glad I'm not the only one! I'll be back for sure, to complete that section. Its already bothering me!

Wrappin it up... So I continued down the trail, towards the powerlines. I figured I had a good 3 miles till I made it to them. This section of trail was definitely the hardest part to follow. I didn't really have much trouble, but care was definitely needed. I was also extremely tired by...
