I'll second what others have said. Making a loop out of the FW's trail and Horns Pond trail is easily among my favorite dayhikes I've done in New England... I didn't go to north horn though... guess I'll have to go back because everyone seems to love that peak. The hike up to Cranberry Peak...

I've been up Abraham twice and both times I thought to myself that the upper portion of the Fire Warden's Trail would be easy to lose if there was a lot of snow or if visability was low. Actually, even once you're back in the woods the blazing is minimal. Super fun hike though!

Very cool photos. I never get tired of looking at pics of Katahdin... winter pics are even better. My boss has visited Baxter the last two winters and is thinking of planning a trip next year for a few of us in the office... keeping my fingers crossed! Again, nice pics and a very nice report...

Exactly what I was going to type. Here's hoping SK has a speedy recovery.

If the views from Puzzle and Baldpate are any indication, this should be a great trail.

Another Abraham fan here. I love it because there are hardly ever any people on it and the views are impressive. The trail is a bit tough to follow in places... I wouldn't want to try to find my way from the summit back to treeline in bad weather. Nice report on a nice mountain.

Glad to hear the Tranquillity Lodge was nice... I'll be staying there next week!

Nice pictures. I really like the pic of Avery... it's looks so big and mean. I hiked Avery, West, and South Horn back in September and took a friend up Cranberry last month. I hope to get back up there for a winter hike up West and Avery soon. Nice Report!

I may have to join you... ;)

Nearly 4,000 acres near Grafton Notch SP landed number 1 on a federal conservation priority list. Those who are interested can get more details here... http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/news/state/060208land.shtml

Nice post Spencer... a worthy cause and one I can get behind. I'm going to draft a few letters this weekend.

I'll second the Sunday River XC Ski Center... a great place for some easy snowshoeing. I did Puzzle Mountain last month and it was 3.2 miles to the summit (which is very nice) but there are some really nice ledges with a fantastic view to the north about 2/3rds of the way up.

I did Cranberry from the Stratton area two weekends ago. We were able to drive a Subaru Outback almost to the trailhead. We had about a 5 minute road walk. There is a small sign for the Bigelow Range Trail... if you pass the mill, you've gone too far. I think mileage was 3.2 one way and a...

That book is a work of fiction...

Congratulations JayH! I'ver never hiked with you but I feel like I know you from this board as well as the Subaru board. Great job! :)

Very nicely written report... also nice to put a few pictures with the report. I really need to get up to Baxter in the winter... looks like a lot of fun!

http://www.nohrsc.nws.gov/interactive/html/map.html I like the interactive snow model... it allows you to zoom in pretty close and to customize different parameters ranging from snow depth to snow water equiv to snow melt. It even has forest density. Cool stuff. Enjoy!

I couldn't agree more!

Wow... Caribou got 31 inches in a 48 hour period. That's pretty impressive. Thanks for the link!
