Way to go, Alex! And everyone else - great job! You guys are certainly an inspiration to the rest of us, and to all future young hikers! :)

Trail Conditions: Lincoln Woods Trail is one nice solid packed snow/ice sheet with occasional mud patches. Osseo trail begins as a icy sidewalk, easy to follow. At the start of the incline, snow vanishes for the most part, with only occasional patches; nice, long stretch of rocks, dirt, and...

Nice photos and great report! That was indeed a great Thursday above the clouds! Our group watched the sun set from Clay - what an amazing day.

Nice shots! That was indeed a great day up above the clouds.

Date of Hike: Thursday 03/15 Trail Conditions: Jewell is a "jewel" of a trail. Well packed, fairly solid, not too much ice. Wore microspikes up to treeline, switched to snowshoes for a while until there were more rocks than snow, then switched back. Trail in good shape. Over-Clay loop well...

Date of Hike: 2/9/2012 Trail Conditions: Mount Kinsman trail to Bald Peak and summit of North Kinsman an icy sidewalk easily traversed with microspikes. Mostly hard crust with a few ice flows that are easily stepped around. Kinsman Ridge trail to South Kinsman also well packed out, hard icy...

Great report! It was indeed a rare day to be up above treeline. Thanks for showing me the moose photo when Kirby and I passed your group on the way down the big Valley Way ice slide. I should have asked about alligator eggs! :D

Date of Hike: 01/26/2012 Trail Conditions: Accent from Appalachia via Valley Way/Scar Trail & Loop/Air Line. Hard packed snow and ice sidewalk on Valley Way. Scar Trail not used for a while - thin crust over 3-4 inches of powder, but easy to follow. Air Line also well packed out. Treeline...

Wonderful news! Such an amazing outpouring of support for the future conservation of this beautiful area.

Maybe an inch here in Bethlehem, but that might be pushing it.

Thanks for the greenie, Patrick! If you are ever interested someday, I'll show you the way to #7. Really remote place. There was a big moose crashing around below the cliff last time I was there.

My favorite from 2011... a triumphant Kirby summiting the Moose for the third time....

First a moose, now a duck - when will it end? ;)

Art is very subjective, so I dislike ever making critical remarks about the work of someone else. However, since you asked for honest feedback... from my experience, something like a postcard works best if it first grabs the viewer in the first few seconds. Photo two and four do that for me...

Great stuff, Jason. I've wanted to head up that ravine in search of the fabled "9 Cascades" for a couple of years now... just never managed to get it to the top of the list. I am looking forward to the rest of your photos, terrain conditions, and finding out how far up Little Tunnel you went...

Your historical trek is simply inspiring, Fisher Cat! I always enjoy reading your reports and musings. I am sorry that Kirby and I did not recognize you today heading up to the summit!

Amazing and Stunning just do not do this report justice! Incredible photos, Tim - and what amazing weather conditions! Super-jealous here!! ;)

Date of Hike: 09/11/2011 Trail Conditions: Trails in decent shape, considering the recent weather. Lincoln Woods is a bit rougher, with railroad ties a bit more exposed, and several erosion sites. Black Pond trail in good shape. Black Pond Bushwhack has a good herd path about 1/3 of the...

Date of Hike: 09/09/2011 Trail Conditions: Gorge Brook Trail in fairly good shape. Much water erosion on the lower part of the trail. Past the intersection of Gorge/Snapper, there is a large washout where the brook took out a 40' section of trail, but it is easily traversed with some rock...

Date of Hike: 09/08/2011 Trail Conditions: Logging roads all in very decent shape. Road to Garfield Falls has one washout about a quarter mile from the parking area. Plenty of room to park & walk the last bit. Trail in good shape. New trail to Little Hellgate Falls is a beautiful stroll...
