In regards to trash on the trails and trailheads,summer time is a good time to stuff your extra pocket with trash while you hike.How often do you see a pesky corner of a kitkat or choc. bar on the ground?I usually collect trash and then throw it away when I get home[I do not touch anything that...

Awsome job,all of you!!!!!Great plan...Sounds like you hit the conditioning thing just right in regards to the altitude adjustment.I would guess Denali training will be a bit quite "interesting":) Very cool the youngsters have this feather in their cap,what a tale to talk about when they get...

A lot of good opinions here,maybe the answer is a bit of all of the above[choice c usually].Dsettahr seems to have nailed it for the most imho. However, I would add that most of north america including north country n.h. has been in a moderate to severe drought for a long time now[maybe since...

Bummer!! Who are the deciding powers on this one?It seems if a road is closed in july/aug. for example you should be able to ride a bike and have it count.I can understand the logic in winter but april?Let me know if you have a grid tail gate party after carrigain next april. I will bring some...

As of recently snowmobiles in general were allowed on park tote road but not on Roaring brook road.I am sure if needed for sar purposes,Roaring brook road is used by snowmobiles by park staff in the winter.
