Thanks Dave, i was just looking at hikesbikesski... post of this loop. my first searches under mansfield gave me alot of unusable info, however, searching under stowe brought me to more applicable posts. If i can't find my maps of this area, does the visitors center up top have maps to help...

Hi All, gonna be targetting mansfield for sunday of upcoming wkend. I have done it from underhill side and yes sunset ridge is the best, but my son is requesting to do it from ski side...saves me drive time so what the heck! I'm still trying to locate my VT books,maps..i do know of the LT...

Decided to bring my son to Killington on his quest for the NE67. After considering VT reccommendations regarding mud season, and reading general trail conditions throughout NE, i felt confident that the bulk of mud season had well passed. Arrived at Bucklin for an approx 9:30 am start, only...

Hi All, considering Killington from west side this weekend, are there any mud season statements out in vermont? I know i've seen postings in the past years when the LT, Green Mtn Club, etc request limited trail use during mud season. Just wondering if anyone has been in the area lately. Also...

Going to be in attendance with my son who finished his NH48, i'll get my scroll too as i didn't submit my list until i submitted his. Heading to PN for an am trek into Tucks to watch the show. Hope to see many to put faces with the names ctsparrow....Sue and Nate...i'm the old lady :eek:with...

Lots of great stories and advice, looks like the weather probably won't clear tomorrow and will pose a fog hazard. Great link cbcbd. Was planning on packing mats and even sleeping bags for extra cushion/warmth so planting on the snow won't be so bad, but unfortunately might have to wait for a...

Thanks for the beta everyone, can't make the inferno weekend, working, but this sunday with sunny skies and temps of 32 is a definite possibility. We aren't packing in skis, gonna snowshoe, bareboot, traction in, my son has outgrown his skies at this time. Since i'm a tucks virgin:eek: where...

Hi All, just wondering if anyone has any gut feelings on how and when tucks spring season might get into swing. I have possible time to hang out there early April then not again until late April. Promised my son a trip in to check out the crazies. I know it's still running colder than down...

From one hiking with kid(s) mom to another...your Alex is incredible, and so must be you for all the packing and planning i know it takes to get the little ones out and about any time of year! My son completed his NH48 this past September just before his 13 th birthday...he's an old man...

My goal of the day was to have no goals!! Since i needed as much sleep as i needed fresh air, i began my day late, but was well rewarded. So after awakening in the Canaan area around 9am, it was off in the car by 10am, my destination Lafayette Parking for a nice saunter in the woods in the...

I'm going to guess Sandwich, although Tom was my first instinct, if it's in Maine i would have no clue!

Thanks Steve et al., i think i'll try the southern route and maybe come out the over the mountain route on the way out to avoid leaf peepers and campers as much as possible!! ctsparrow

Dave, is it packed maintained dirt road? or one that is subjected to washouts, ruts etc...i have a subaru outback so i'm not worried about clearance, i just like to drive over 25mph!! thanks, ctsparrow

Gorgeous, gorgeous pics grouseking, i'm hoping the leaves are still out this weekend, will be in canaan, NH, with some hiking in VT, thanks for the images, ctsparrow

Peakn, check out trail condition report posted form Oct 4 &5th conditions, water crossings knee high in places, it has been drier since then, but be prepared for potential cold and wet crossings...it's gonna be a beautiful long weekend, enjoy the time in the woods, even if owls head is a bit...

I agree with the precautions on assuming an 'easy hike' for a 5 year old. If they have done relatively smaller hikes and hills prior to this one, you might be okay. I have hiked my kids for almost a decade now, they really didn't begin 4000ers until age 6 or 7, and only after they did 'tryout'...

Am going from 89N out of lebanon, NH to Lincoln Gap Rd this weekend. In the past i have gone to Waterbury exit and headed south on 100 (but was car spotting also at Appalachia Gap). Mapquest wants to send me via exit 5 to 64, then 12A over Warren Mtn/Roxbury Mtn rd into East Warren then to...

I'm glad to hear all ended well...i took a WFA course in August and it is quite enlightening as to the amount of time required for a rescue, both getting in and carrying out. Coming out they say plan on an hour per .5 miles for a full carry, and as demonstrated by this rescue 3-4 hours to...

Mountain 49, i did this with my son(12..read...short legs) in late august after what was 5 or 6 weeks of incredibly wet weather. I wore scree gaiters, he wore my snowgaiters...much higher and waterproof. Definitely bring a couple extra pair of socks, both for water as well as for a long day...
