I've always been impressed by the hikers that can do this loop in a day. After just completing a clockwise loop as a three day trek staying at the huts and bagging the side peaks (galehead, n. twin, w. bond) on the way, I feel even more that you guys are bonkers. I know I was probably carrying...

I was up there a few weeks ago and made the same error some other do and came to the cut in the wrong spot (too far left). I followed the most obvious path when I tried it. Oddly enough, where I came into the cut, there was a ribbon marking the path, but obviously no path on the other side of...

Not moving far away... L is for Lonesome Lake

I was just up in that area this weekend (and two weeks ago). There are signs on Caribou Valley road reminding people what to do if they find anything that they think might have belonged to her. I forgot how close I was going to be to where she was missing until I got up there.

I have seen tracks on the trails on multiple 4Ks at elevations over 4000 feet. They do go up pretty high and can go through some pretty thick/messy stuff. They have even seen them cross over the summit of Washington. I've turned moose around while hiking up high, but never been lucky enough...

I used Lincoln Gap Road from Warren to the LT trail head at the height of land June 1. Plenty of traffic heading up and over.

I found a Painted Quadrillium (that is what I was going to call it too) last Sunday on Mt. Abraham in VT. I haven't gotten to doing anything with those photos yet though. It's still nothing compared to the one I saw last year with 9 petals though.

Date of Hike: 6-1-14 Trail Conditions: Minor mud and wet spots in places, nothing to be worried about. One step over before Abraham, a handful of walk-unders on the way towards Ellen Special Equipment Required: Hiking boots Comments: Planned to do and out and back of Abe and Ellen from...

Thanks for all the info so far guys. I have the 9th edition at home and just picked up the 10th edition at lunch today. Can never have too much info on the trails when you aren't familiar with them.

I suspect that I don't have the newest edition. I don't remember when I bought it, so that probably means before the 2013 edition would have come out. I might have to check that out then, thanks.

What I am looking for is info like the WMG provides about the trails (distance, elevation, book time). I have the AMC Maine Mtn Guide, but it doesn't break down the info about the trails quite like the WMG does. For most of the routes I am thinking about, you can get mileage and at least book...

I was there Thursday and both the sign and post are missing from the summit. At the Glencliff/South Peak Spur/Carriage Road junction... the South peak sign was on the ground just into the trees, the post on the Carriage Road had no signs on it, but one was on the ground (looks like two belong...

Date of Hike: 4-24-14 Trail Conditions: Trail dry to slightly muddy down low. Hit snow/ice starting at 2900 feet where it stayed consistently to the summit. Just after the start of the snow and ice was an about 350 foot section of solid ice bulge covering the entire trail. This made things a...

I had one walk out in front of me in the dark last night on the way home from hiking Moosilauke. It sure got my attention. And sent some stuff from the seat to the floor when I got on the brakes.

I was there this winter on Feb 24 and everything still looked good. Definitely from this spring's thaw and rain so far.

I have on old point and shoot camera, so it isn't a good comparison to today's models. I've tried using it while doing some of my hobbies, but am never happy with the quality of the pictures since I have a nice DSLR sitting at home as well. I find I am more than willing to carry the weight of...

Date of Hike: Trail Conditions: Trail was in great shape and easy to follow. Well blazed when I looked for/at them. No real blow downs or issues, although some branches encroaching on the trail in places. Brook crossings were on foot bridges or solid snow bridges Special Equipment Required...

I myself would personally lean towards the hike falling into whatever the easier season is. With the committee only doing 4-season and winter though, it's either fully in winter or it's not. One thing that has popped into my head related to this though would be a multi-day hike. What if you...

Congrats and an amazing accomplishment

Date of Hike: 3-18-14 Trail Conditions: Packed trail the entire way to the summit. Where skiers haven't been down the trail is a nice snowshoe track. Where they have been down the trail is packed, but could be smooth/slick for those without traction. Plenty of blazes where the hiking trail...
