Don't hesitate to PM me. Here's the synopsis. See: http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?47323-Baxter-State-Park-in-the-Winter Also, it's turned bitterly cold up there: http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=car&wwa=wind%20chill%20advisory Northern BSP Trip Summary...

I already do. :) I also pass through Monroe often.

Oh, there is a lot more. You've merely scratched the surface. :] I've only scratched a little bit more.

I recommend them all. There's so much to explore out here.

You're welcome.

I've got MSR snowshoes and Black Diamond crampons. Should be good. Thanks.

Thanks TJ. Do I really need the xc-skis? I was just going to snowshoe in with my pack. I know skis would be faster, but I would prefer to minimize equipment. Have a head lamp, thermometer, and will print out a wind chill chart. We're following the Baxter State Park Winter Use Guide. I sure hope...

Currently, I am a part of a group that is planning on doing some winter hiking in Baxter State Park soon. We are awaiting confirmation. Our plan is: Day 1 - Trout Brook Farm Day 2 - South Branch Pond Day 3 - Traveler Mountain Day 4 - 13.2 miles out. I'm not concerned about hiking in on the...

I'm sharing some photos and text from hiking in Washington state. I live out here now, but am originally from Maine and spent most of my life hiking the mountains of Maine and New Hampshire. I post infrequently here. Camp Muir- April 22, 2012 The goal since I moved out here 2 years ago has...

Thanks to everybody who sent messages. I found it relatively easily with all the directions. Head south on the AT. Look for a fork, one with a cairn to left. Follow the herd path to the AT corridor. Head right. Can't miss it.

Does anyone have the above they can send me in a PM? I realize this may entail me posting beta for hikes in Washington state (Maine ex-pat). I will be hiking Mt Success this Sunday. Thanks in advance for any tips. I've read up on info. I believe the wreckage to be in a general east-south...

You are welcome.

Is the pronunciation ick-new-mon?

Thanks everybody.

I'm a software engineer, not an entomologist, so apologies if this is common. I've hiked plenty in Northern New England and never seen another of its kind. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5rnyE3_g5c7gicnJ9NtzMNzDrZ5McF6Z_SeY52Hc4vk?feat=directlink

@1HappyHiker Thanks. @Peakbagger That's neat about the trail to the DC crash site. From what I've read here, people still find their way there. I think usually while summitting Mt Success.

Thanks. Snow showers were mixed in too. More sun than here in Seattle now. Of course today is a "good" day for Seattle. Partly sunny.

Date of Hike: 03/26/2011 Trail Conditions: Snow with infrequent bare patches towards the start. Snow consisted of a few inches of powder on top of hard-packed snow. Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes and poles recommended. Comments: Ask for permission at the Philbrook Farm Inn to park in...

FormerStarMan, thanks for the info. In regards to parking, I have parked once at the Philbrook Farm and stopped by for info on two separate occasions. Parking there has never been a problem and the folks at the Inn have always been very helpful and friendly. It wouldn't be a bad idea to call...

Thanks John. Great info as usual. The trails leading to Ingalls are all present on the Garmin Northeast 24K data. It appears the quickest way to get there is the Scudder Trail off the Millbrook Road. That approach is 4 miles roundtrip. The approach from either the end of Millbrook or Philbrook...
