The program sounds fascinating. As a parent, I would be happy to send my kids to a program that encouraged the love of the outdoors and an ability to adapt to changing weather conditions... oh, wait a minute... that's part of why I hike with them ;) Silly me. No, really, I think the program...

wow... Can you imagine being that stubborn?

Great pics! Looks like a fun trip :)

There is still a small hiker's lot. Its up the road from the big climber's lot. The trail from that lot is nice, easy to follow, and a good workout for a short hike. As far as views to effort ratio - this one's a gem. When you get to the loop at the top, go right first and you'll be climbing...

I'd be down with that :)

Wicked cute. Those are some great photos!

There's no snow in Rumney. I live across the river from the Rocks - should be good climbing!

Congratulations! And have a wonderful journey on the trail!

not for me. If the mountain didn't kill me, my best friend would!

You're welcome :) Its a pleasant hike if you do choose to go over there.

I could probably be convinced to take a side trip over there this week if you're looking for conditions for the weekend... Just let me know if that would be helpful.

awesome! Love your non-answer to the ranger - a smile says it all :)

Yes, parking along the road is legal - you just have to be all the way off the roadway. I'm actually suprised to hear that the new big lot is closed too - it appeared to have good drainage... But, maybe they're closing it to limit traffic on the trails. Anyway, have fun, be ready for mud, and...

Also an fyi - they close the Morgan/Percival lot during mud season. You can still hike them - you just have to park in the lot on the other side of the road. And be gentle, the trail gets really muddy in the spring.

nope, I wasn't one of the 6, I had the two youngsters and a friend with me. We headed up Jewell but turned around before treeline.

You girls are flying through the Winter list! Ought to be done this time next year eh? Great TR as usual Trish! Gotta say, the best pic is the one of MadRiver and Alex at the summit of South... the caption rocks!

The wind was definately vicious up there today. We turned around before treeline because of it. The winds were higher than forecasted. (at least higher than what the MWOBS forecast at the Highland Center had listed) Glad you are ok. The 5 hikers that you speak of did get off safely. There...

There's the Federal House Inn in Plymouth (right on the Rumney line). Its a locally owned B&B - less than 20 minutes to the trailhead. Not sure of the price point, but good to support the local economy.
