Indian Head or Woodards - affordable, nice pools/amenities I've never stayed at Parkers but both the Indian Head Resort and Woodard's on the same stretch of Rt 3 N toward the Flume visitor center are great. They're not super cheap (somewhere around $100/night for two I believe) but have nice...

Great photos! What a difference a few weeks makes - we just did North Twin on 9/27, when the graceful arc of South Twin's col down to Galehead was ablaze with color. You must have been freezing up there - hopefully the beauty of such freshly fallen snow was heartwarming.

N. Kinsman via Mt Kinsman Trail Date of Hike: Sunday 10/11 Trail Conditions: Mostly dry with new-fallen leaves for first 2.1 miles to Bald Knob cutoff. Both brook crossings were easily forded. Thereafter loads of mud and running water down the trail for the remaining 1.6 miles to the...

Thanks for the mind-expanding with "cuirass." Especially glad I looked it up and knew not to pronounce it as "kwer-ASS" or something horribly unerudite.

Just curious, what's your favorite dinner spot for after a nice workout of a hike near the Whites? Cheap ones preferred but all suggestions are great. We're in a rut and looking for new places beyond our usual, which include: G&H Pizza/Lincoln, Woodstock Inn, the Greek place in downtown...

North Twin via N. Twin Trail Sun 9/20 Spectacular views and great trail conditions. River isn't too high but being wimpy around wet rocks, particularly when nearby water is a foot or more deep in some spots, we took the herd path to the left of the 1st river crossing, avoiding #1 and #2...

Wildcat D. Via Lost Pond, Wildcat Ridge Trail, then down the ski trails Date of Hike: Sat 9/12 Trail Conditions: Some mud on Lost Pond. A beaver dam submerged one entire bog bridge about half-way to Wildcat Ridge Trailhead at Glen Ellis Falls, leading one of our party to step full-boot into...

Perfect conditions for these trails - dry, sunny, minimal wind and no bugs. If this week's weather continues as planned, these would continue to be great peaks to bag right now. Absolutely stunning views from the slides, esp. up the North slide with a panorama from Moosilauke to Washington. A...

Wildcat D for Flags on the 48 - with a caveat SilentCal- I see that Puck and Paradox have said they'll do Wildcat D as a last resort. My family (hubby, me and twin 15 year old sons) can do Wildcat D, with a caveat - my sons are autistic and while they're rugged hikers (they've done 21/48 thus...

Spectacular views from the Zeacliff overlook and a few peeking thru the trees on the way up to the viewless Zealand summit. Zealand Rd. was fine, Twinway from hut to Zeacliff overlook had running water on the trail and plenty of mud, Twinway from Zeacliff Trail junction to summit had lots of...
