8/27/10 Trail conditions: dry for the most part, a couple muddy sections, but nothing that got your feet too wet. Quite a few trees down on Mt. Stanton trail between Pickering and Langdon.....looks like they have been there for years.... Trail could use some brushing in that same area, but...

Yes, the exit 14 park n' ride is very secure, I've left my car there for a few weeks and it was fine, lots of activity there (buses coming and going) well lit parking lot, wouldn't worry one bit about it being there.

Nice job Stinky! Ha ha, yeah right, you just keep getting faster!!! :)

Another vote for Long trail...........I don't remember anything remotely difficult about the Wapack.....I remember ladders and steep ascents on northern LT.......but I was also carrying a 30lb pack!!

Lots of great ideas here, we just spent the last 4 days in Portland, it is within an hours drive of so many great places to hike!! Eagle Falls is very cool (it is a PCT alternative route and super busy with lots of day hikers) But fun to walk behind the falls! makes for great pictures. Tons...

Yes, a great book and Greg's "Stones into Schools: Promoting peace with books not bombs in Pakistan and Afganistan" is a truly great follow-up book. The amount of talks/lectures that he has done promoting his work is unbelievable, what a great man.

7/15/10 Trail conditions: Bennett St. trail is wonderfully maintained, not a single blow-down, a great grade and a joy to be on. Gleason has some areas of wash-out/erosion and quite a few large trees down. All water crossings easy. Trails dry. Lots of great pools of water to jump in on...

7/11/10 Trail Conditions: Quite a few large trees down on the top 1.5 miles of McCrillis Tr. The "trail closed" sign is missing on McCrillis Path (someone wrote in pencil...."dead end, trail ends in 3/4 mile") on the wooden board, but it is easy to miss. Whiteface river (on McCrillis tr)...

Great trail! I hiked it in 2004 as a loop and it was being semi-maintained then.....blazing stopped about 1 mile in and the bucket of paint was sitting trailside. I remember only losing the trail once in a blowdown area (as others have mentioned). It is a fun and unique way to get up to the...

I used it as a short-cut yesterday (from motorcycle traffic!!!) and found it was fine. I cruised right along.......just like the other cars on it. Yes, it is a bit rough, but it always has been........didn't notice it to be that bad.

Date of Hike: 6/19/10 Trail Conditions: All trail mostly dry, few patch of mud here and there, nothing out of ordinary for June! Couple trees down between Chandler brook tr. and wamsutta, but easy to step over. Newly cut trees on Wamsutta which was greatly appreciated! Comments: First time...

I have a couple pairs of chacos.....(Z1s as I can't stand the toe piece....just my personal preference). They are super comfy, super supportive (great arch support) and have great vibram soles. I met a guy in 2008 who hiked the whole PCT in them. I have hiked in them before, but I don't on a...

Did the Tuckerman trail to boot spur link and then down boot spur trail loop last Sunday, no snow anywhere on those trails. Maybe 5-6 blowdowns on boot spur trail. Wind was blowing!!! (no bugs that day) :)

dates 5/28-5/29 Dry trail from start to finish. Parking: Parked at southern trailhead and hitched an easy ride up to AT crossing and hiked the grafton loop north to south (the way to go!!) Lots of parking space at both lots. Blowdowns: Lots of blowdowns from Old Speck to Sunday River...

Great to read a report on this trail, it's on my "list" :) Whiteface does look a looooong ways away in that one shot......good to know, I won't look up!! I think I might wait a month or two for the mosquitos to get their fill on other hikers first!!

Great close to home area to play in!!! We enjoyed a beautiful ridge walk from Rowe to Gunstock yesterday. Only people we ran into were the trailcrew on the Overlook Tr. (another nice trail....until you get towards the bottom)

I had a similiar experience this past winter.....couldn't return an item (with original receipt) they were going to charge me to mail it out and have it repaired.......Not happy with that answer, I called the head quarters.....They told me that employee must be confused and put me in contact...

Nothing to it. Crossed it 5/13, no problem at all, never remember it being an issue either. Have fun!

Great! Thanks for the post. Looks like some good reading on this rainy day!!

Congratulations, what a beautiful day you had for your big finish!!! Wishing you more sunny days, beautiful views and many new friends on your next fun adventure!!
