Wow - what happened to wilderness? Has there really been a huge careless hiker problem on such a remote peak as Bond? Franconia Ridge I can understand, but Bond I would think attracts a more wilderness-friendly hiking crowd. I hope this doesn't mean bushwhacking is no longer allowed in the...

So thats what the view looks like from up there! I've wondered each time I have driven past that place! Great report and photos as usual, John!

Just amazing! :)

Those are some really pretty spots on your bushwhack route. Nice cascades, too! You always come up with some interesting alternatives! :)

Thank you everyone for the kind comments! What a great group of people we have here - within a few days of my posting, one excellent VFTT member took a long walk and sent me back a photo and the location of Noble Falls. It was, of course, no where near the reported location "on Coppermine...

Thanks for the greenie, the comments, and the company!

Thank you for the greenie, Dr JJ!

Thank you for the greenie, Mark!

Most folks here may not be interested in a tale of old rocks and the water that runs over them, but a few weeks after the event I finally had some time so I thought I’d throw it out there for the few that might get a chuckle or two. I’ve always had a fascination for waterfalls as well as for...

I'll second MichaelJ. I did a loop last year involving the Speck Pond trail up from Success Pond Road up to Old Speck, then down Mahoosuc Arm & Notch with a road walk back to the car. Very long route up through some logged areas, plus some elevation loss & gain going down to the pond, then up...

Brings back memories - that is a great loop hike! :)

Ah - I would call them a crazy person! :D;) Great photos, John - I haven't been to this one yet. Nice to see some good shots of this faraway beauty! :)

John, that ledge on the brim of Cape Horn looks like a jewel of a place to visit! You did indeed have quite a prehistoric adventure! :)

Nice, John! That is a great looking waterfall - well worth the second trip!

I saw the same thing on the rocks along the long slide that goes up the western side of the ridge between Liberty and Haystack. It looked like someone had painted all the tops with red paint. Thank you for that information!

I just got back from a quick afternoon trip up Blueberry mountain today. Slide Brook ravine looked very interesting from there, and I was wondering earlier about how easy it would be to explore it from the Tunnel Brook trail... Really nice photos, and great reflections! Those slides on Clough...

I followed that path last year on a rainy day, trying to get to those views from the top of the talus slopes. It vanishes into some thick, dense pokey-bushes. I tried to push on further but after a few tenths of a mile and many scrapes, I gave up the fight, mostly due to it being rainy and...

Thanks for that excellent report, Jazzbo! I've wondered about this trail for a long time. Good to have the forewarning to save a little extra time if I ever get out there! :D

Great report and photos as usual, John! The Madison Gulf trail is a favorite of mine (especially when you pop up at the top and realize that it is finally over!!) :D:cool:

Back on May 22nd there were masses of blowdowns, flooding, and 2-3 feet of snow up near Weetamoo falls where I finally turned around. Amazing what a couple weeks of warm weather will do! :)
