Based on my wife's GPS of that exact hike (Bigelows and Horns) we show 12.6 for distance and 4413 ascending. We parked at the "main" lot but some drove in a bit further (at the stream crossing).

Lincoln Woods has plenty of parking. Good dog trail- Lots of water. Just a few mosquitos. Posts of the Black Pond Bushwhack and Lincoln Brook Trail up to Owl's Head have been described often. Nothing new to report except the second crossing was right on edge for rock hop vs. wade. We waded...

The summit of Klem now has a marked trail. In May, the BRATTS and AMC Woman's trail day marked it.

You can do all of the peaks if you want that distance and are willing to "lollipop". N to S, Major (can also end here), then Quarries (two peaks), Rand, up to Klem, to Round Pond, Belknap, Gunstock, Rowe, Piper, Whiteface...back over Piper, Belknap to Round Pond but go up Mack, to Anna, to...

We did all of the hikes mentioned above are they all were great! If you do the Highline, a short steep hike up to the overlook of Grinnell Glacier is worth it (the glacier won't be here much longer). When we did the Hidden Lake Overlook we continued down from the overlook to Hidden Lake as an...

As B & G have indicated above, road openings and web site don't always line up. No confusion on Sawyer River Rd. which was still gated as of 5/31/14.

We started at the winter lot on Belknap Mtn. Rd. and did Gunstock, Belknap, and Piper. All were snow/ice free with the exception of a short bit on the Blue Trail from the Gunstock/Belknap col up to Belknap and a bit on the White Trail descending toward Piper. All easily avoided. Could do this...

We will be moving W-E from Lenk, Adelboden, Kanderstag, Murren, Obersteinberg, Wengen with various numbers of days in each locale.

I am asking for altimeter advice from the forum. I was (am?) looking for an altimeter. I prefer one on the wrist, which doubles as a watch. To that end, I purchased a High Gear Alti XT. I have been using it around the house and the altimeter function seems to be off consistently. I have set...

Thanks for the post. Going to Switzerland this summer.

For Trip #1, I would second the motion to hike up to Pierce-Ike-Monroe. While you are gaining elevation it allows for an all downhill bike ride back to Highland Center. Water up at HC in the AM and carry a normal amount (what you need is a personal choice) and then refill at LOC Hut before...

Parking for one or maybe if lucky two cars after the bridge on Ingerson Rd. Not a good dog day. Way too much snow, which was way too soft. This was a snow shoe hike all the way. Actually I would really love to watch barebooters do this one. We got the idea for this approach to Waumbek from a...

Plenty of parking at Basin Parking lot. Good day for dogs but only saw one. Started late for the weather to improve, and followed one hiker on snowshoes the whole way. About an inch of new snow down low and increased to 3-4 up higher. Lots of drifting on FR. The lone hiker worked hard between...

I'm one of those people that Greg Yeah! knows with one. Fits in the gel pocket on my shoulder strap. Measured our wind speed on Adams and Madison accurately (based on other sites winds speeds).

Belknaps and Ossipees. Once off the "major" Belknap peaks of Mt. Major and Belknap you will almost always be alone. Some nice views of places you would not normally see, and there is the history factor of abandoned quarries. Round Pond is always a nice stop. There may still be snow in some...

Good luck to those that need one or two more peaks to finish for the winter 48, and only have this weekend to do it. You will earn those peaks if the weather (snow) comes as predicted.

My wife made each of us the same basic design as the Mystery Ranch by buying an Outdoor Product fanny pack (WalMart- $10) and cutting off one side. Two plastic buckles later we have a great winter bag. Stores hats, gloves/mittens and food. We use the Osprey Grab Bag in the summer when there...

Plenty of parking on both sides of the highway. East side was pushed back from this morning so even more now. OBP was hard packed with a dusting on it. Our group used light traction (microspikes and Hillsounds)..Some may want snowshoes for the televators. Note, part of the tread way was a...

Parking is plowed out for about 5 cars at the York Pond Trailhead. Parking lot at Unknown Pond Trailhead also plowed out. Trail was a well packed sidewalk with about 1inch of fresh powder on top. All of us used light traction (Microspikes/Crampon Pro). Weather was much better then predicted...

Plenty of parking at the trailhead lot. Someone had barebooted when the snow was soft, so caution needed in some places. Most of the trail was well packed. Snowshoes or microspikes both worked well. We used the shoes to have the televators. We all microspiked down for a very fast descent...
