I've never been down to the plane crash (they freak me out, so I can't help you with that, ). I'm sure others will chime in, but it's marked on my map with a dotted line (rough trail) just off of Belknap as you head towards Gunstock. I was on Piper and Belknap on 4/27 (last Sat) and it was...

Hiked Piper and Belknap today, 95% snow/ice free! Only area of ice that required skirting around was on the Red trail to/from Belknap. (clearly different from my Wildcats/Carter Dome/Carters hike yesterday) Yeah to being able to wear trail runners again!!! Can't wait until it melts up north!

Wow. Your family has been through so much. Congrats on the great news! Here's to many more happy milestones to come!

Yeah! Cabot!! That was awesome! Nice report, though you didn't take much credit for 3 miles of trailbreaking yourself ;)

Stinky is amazing! :) Love the HikerEd sightings! Way to go!!

In NH - most of the 52 with-a-view are worthwhile. I aslo liked Bog Mtn, Sunapee and the trails to Ragged. In ME - Burnt Mtn. next to Sugarloaf is pretty sweet. In VT - Blue Ridge Mtn via Canty trail (some of it might have been a bushwack.......but I remember the trail part and first summit...

Thru-hiking tends to change some people.......you see what is important in life and maybe the career will not seem as important after 5-6 months of fresh air......or maybe you will want the normalcy again........you don't know, unless you go and find out! All I know is the time I've spent...

Yeah!! Congrats to you both!!

Three of us hiked York Pond trail back in December. We did it as an "out and back" from Fish Hatchery side, as not to be on private property, cross any "No Trespassing" signs or be on a closed trail......knowing that the landowner isn't always the nicest guy. We figured with all the miles we...

The press seems to use the words hiker and climber interchangeably................. I think of a climber as one who ascends/descends a route using rope/helmet/technical axes (climbing gear) and a hiker as one who sticks to "walk-up" trails. Just yesterday on my way to Great Gulf trailhead, I...

The cold/flu season hasn't affected my hiking plans but these FREEZING COLD temps sure have!!! Grrrrrrrrrr.

I'm sure others will chime in, but we have found the book "Colorado's Fourteeners" by Gerry Roach to be awesome. It breaks down the peaks into classes (easiest to most difficult) Great descriptions, lots of good info, and also groups the peaks into areas of CO, so you can get the most peaks for...

http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/enchanted-rock I had a nice visit to Enchanted Rock this past Sept (we were there when the park opened at 8am and it was already dreadfully HOT). Lots of trails, we attempted some caves (headlamp required) but turned back at the sight of THOUSANDS of...

Not that it matters at all (and maybe I missed it) but did they end up going down Dry River Cut-off or Clinton Trail? That's one big crossing at the bottom of Clinton........... Glad they are all safe and sound!

My first winter snowshoe hike was Mt. Morgan (near Squam lake) popular, nice view, good choice. Next up was a failed attempt on Cardigan (good learning day though - bad conditions that day, now I know and would never attempt an open summit like that in weather we were in that day) Then came...

tough call. I've "fixed" my Atlas 1025's once (rivets on the bottom broke, used washers/screws) and had to send them away to be professional fixed another time, (waited until spring to send away) but they are still going strong, I prob. bought in '01 or '02 and they are heavily used. I wore...

Congrats! It was a tad bit breezy on Jackson friday! We passed each other along the way somewhere out there! Hoping for nicer days and lots more hikes as the Winter progresses!

Congrats!! It's been fun reading your reports on NETC and they have come in handy many times!! What a great trail to finish on!

McCrillis Path was closed, now relocated and open - still starts at Flat Mtn. pond trailhead, so old directions will send you in the right direction, then keep eyes open for sign/blazes. Rob Brook trail - closed..........parts of it were a swampy mess when open!! Gleason trail that goes up...

I didn't realize the "end of the world" was also the first day of Winter! Nice!! (anyone know off hand what time "winter" starts that day?)
