    Via Rt. 16, Camp Dodge cut-through, Imp Trail, North Carter Trail, Carter-Moriah Trail, Nineteen Mile Brook Trail, Wildcat Ridge Trail, Polecat ski trail What a great day to do this traverse for the first time. Patchy ice started around 4000ft on North Carter Trail, on and off to the junction...

    Wellesley MA trails?

    I'd definitely add Rocky Narrows in my hometown of Sherborn to the list - I used to walk and run there all the time, sometimes with a dog and sometimes by myself, and never had any issues. Parking is a bit limited, but it's also about a half mile from Farm Pond through some short trails...

    Adventure Dog photo contest

    Thanks everyone! Nothing exciting - extra water, her collapsible bowl and her treats. I've been tempted to put some of my snacks or small extras in there a few times since the extra weight doesn't seem to slow her down, but the bag is getting worn and has a few small holes from tearing...

    Whiteface and Passaconaway 3/11/12

    Via Dicey's Mill Trail and Rollins Trail We did an out and back from Dicey's Mill to avoid the cliffs on Blueberry Ledge Trail. Started out barebooting, switched to micros at the big crossing, then to snowshoes at the start of Rollins and wore those almost all the way back to the trailhead...

    Via herd paths, North Twin Trail, North Twin Spur, Twinway, Frost Trail, Garfield Ridge Trail, Gale River Trail, Gale River Road and Beaver Brook XC Ski Trails. Snowshoes car to car today and they were definitely needed. Snowing at a good clip when we left the end of Little River Rd, with 3-4"...

    Tecumseh and Jackson, 1/28/12

    Tecumseh via Mt. Tecumseh Trail from ski area parking lot Crusty snow down low with 3-6" fluffy snow underneath, bit more snow higher up with a few inches of new fluffy snow on top of the crust. Water crossing just past the trailhead still open but easy to cross, all others snowbridged...

    Tripyramids 1/17/12

    Via Livermore Trail, Scaur Ridge Trail, Pine Bend Brook Trail and Mt. Tripyramid Trail Fresh dusting of 1-2" of fluffy powder at the start, maybe 2-3" higher up with a bit of drifting on Pine Bend Brook Trail. Great snowshoe track along all trails that we helped consolidate a bit more - thanks...

    Cannon via Kinsman Ridge Trail 1/7/12

    Trail started out with crusty ice with a few inches of packed powder, increasing to 4-6" in the glades and 8-12" up above the outlook. A bit of wind above the outlook, maybe 15-20mph at the summit. No sun but good views, with only Lafayette and Lincoln in the clouds. Snow lower down became a...

    Mt. Moriah, 12/11/11

    Via Stony Brook Trail and Carter-Moriah Trail Awesome day for Moriah - started with a few inches of crusty snow at the bottom, increasing to 8-10" of fluffier stuff in spots on the ridge, but like other peaks, not nearly enough for snowshoes. Overall trails in good shape - a few blowdowns on...

    The Wildcats, 11/6/11

    Via Polecat Ski Trail and Wildcat Ridge Trail Good day to finally get to the Cats. Trails in good shape except WRT between D and C peaks in need of some thorough brushing. Barebooted the first half mile up the slopes, then put on the microspikes and left them on until about half a mile after...

    Dmso ?

    It's a free radical scavenger with anti-inflammatory properties, among other things. For animals, it's labeled for use in dogs and horses and relatively safe if applied properly and given at appropriate doses topically. It can be given intravenously at lower concentrations for certain...

    Carters loop, 10/8/11

    Trails: Camp Dodge shortcut, Imp Trail, North Carter Trail, Carter-Moriah Trail, 19 Mile Brook Trail With the long weekend and forecast for gusty winds up high, we opted for a hike in the more somewhat sheltered Carter Range. This is one of our less frequently hiked areas, and it ended up...

    Lafayette, Lincoln, Liberty and Flume - 9/27/11

    Trails: Old Bridle Path, Greenleaf Trail, Franconia Ridge Trail, Liberty Spring Trail, Basin bushwhack What a great day to hike the entire ridge - another warm one for sure, but blue skies and views in every direction. All trails were in good shape, no major issues to speak of. Hannah had a...

    Carrigain the long way, 9/25/11

    Finally got to hike Carrigain via Signal Ridge Trail, Carrigain Notch Trail and Desolation Trail. Great alternative route through some lesser used trails and some very scenic areas, particularly Carrigain Notch Trail between the height of land and the junction with Desolation Trail. There were...

    Moriah from Rattle River, 9/3/11

    Hiked Moriah via Rattle River Trail, Kenduskeag Trail and Carter-Moriah Trail This ended up being last minute plan B - had grand plans of a loop with Webster Cliff and Dry River Trails, but found out early this morning that Dry River Trail is closed ... Rattle River up to the shelter is in...

    Irene -- Please use this thread for NH/VT/ME road closures

    Incredible pictures! Is 302 open to the Webster Cliff trail head from the north, or did you have to walk south from Willey House Rd?

    Tom, Field and Willey the long way, 8/14/11

    Decided to take a longer more scenic loop to the Willey Range on Sunday. Started from Zealand Trailhead, around Ethan Pond Trail, up and over Willey Range Trail and Mt. Tom Spur, then out on AZ and Zealand Trails. Most of the trails were in very good shape - beginning of S-bridge on Zealand...
