Might help if you also post on the 4000-footer groups on Facebook....

Dry River also a contender....great location, nice sites, usually quiet, hot showers

To me, doing the GRID is certainly an impressive feat. It's very hard - especially for the month of April due to rotten snow and swollen streams. Anyone who is working on the GRID or has completed it already really impresses me. That being said, this country (and even the rest of New England)...

legal question - do people actually own rivers/streams? or only the land leading up to the waters edge? Or is this different by state? most curious on ME, NH and especially VT!

G is for guidebooks. I love hiking guidebooks, but sometimes photography guidebooks are better at helping you find amazing places to shoot. I especially love the "Photographing ________" series. See here...

D is for DSLR. It's heavy and bulky, but it WILL take better shots than a point-and-shoot!

Alcatraz in the plans? I'd swap one of the two days of hiking for a trip there. One of the coolest places I've ever been. Highly recommended

Scott, check out the pewter summit markers on mountain climb.com. They only have a few 4k peaks, but they are great. Get the small holder or photo frame holder as well Example: http://www.mountainclimb.com/products/carrigain-paperweight

Haven't been (obviously want to) but these guides are what I use when trekking outside the US in case you don't already have this: http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Trekking-Iceland-Paddy-Dillon/dp/185284647X Have fun Dave!

Performed annual trail work last Sunday on my adopted trail. Cleared 5-6 small blowdowns, trimmed the whole trail, and dug the waterbars out a bit. Trail is now in great shape and only has a few small sections of avoidable mud. No blackflies out yet. Waterfall looked great with tons of water...

All of Eidelweiss will be very hot this weekend.

So the weather forecast isn't looking so hot for the 1st half of this weekend, so this event will now be from Saturday morning through early Sunday afternoon. Should be at least 10-15 in attendance based on the facebook event I have with some of the old-time VFTTers. New & old members (and...

My vote would be for a huge expansion of Dixville Notch State Park. Of course that's a pipe dream as well.

what is the snowcat shortcut? easy to spot?

Ya...they also don't mention the crash of 1967 anywhere on their website :D

I might actually do the opposite and go check it out. Never been up there. What time do you recommend we get to pinkham to at least get a parking spot within a 1/4 or 1/2 mile?

Just a warning....I hear that Utah is notorious for being very unreliable in terms of snow that early in the season

Just wanted to throw out my support for trail adopting. I adopted a trail 3-4 years ago and it has been an absolute pleasure to take care of. I cannot stress enough how rewarding it is. It's sort of like going to the woods with a charitable purpose. Urge you to give it a try and if you don't...

Very Interesting! However, I'll wait for the early adopters to try them first :)
