I'm contemplating a return to Mendon after my son's asthma made us bag our post-turkey day attempt....we did find a way around the first two watercrossings if anyone is interested in that....so i'm looking at this weekend. It will either be solo, or i will retry with him if he wants to miss...

Kelly Stand Rd will be dirt, I took it in from the Arlington side, just over the hill from Mt Snows entrance driveways, but the AT/LT area is an obvious open parking lot type area as mentioned, it is a gathering place during snowmobiling season...look for a porta potty that the snowmobilers...

thanks michaelJ....i have done the Killington spur trail in true winter conditions...gotta love that snow....i figure i can walk my son up a ski trail from cooper lodge if neccesary for that part...although they have been making snow and this might be slippery as well but as you said not ice on...

Hi all, any input from anyone in the Killington area as to natural snow cover at summits would be most welcome. I am looking at Mendon and Killington with my son this Sat...march off some turkey!! I don't have traction for him, but can figure something out with the gear i have...stabilicers...

Yes, fall hiking has ended pretty much on the summits. i happened to check weather radar last friday pm when we were being hammered by heavy downpours and winds in the CT river valley, and noticed the swirling pink and blue swatches esp over the upper green mtns. Time to switch packs and start...

Okay i'm looking at this one, should be available. Meeting at the main parking lot trail head.....what time?? PS i'm allergic to beer..i'll bring some baileys!!!ctsparrow

Let's just say it all started to go bad late Friday night as i drove home from work and a black cat ran across my exit ramp...hey i didn't hit it so what's up. I departed Enfield Sat afternoon after watching my sons hockey game otherwise known as ..how many pucks can get by our goalie-game!. I...

Hey Chip, i used to go into conway et all via 91 all the time. I leave Enfield routinely for the 91 trip to WRJ and it's no sweat, still being a leaf peeping holiday weekend i would be on the road by 8am through the Springfield area. you won't hit any construction now until the NOHO area where...

Hey Jessbee.....i lived in Portland from '78 to '82, unfortunately i was too busy partying and getting 'happy' and hanging out in the rose garden and wasn't into hiking. Although i did ski my butt off on Mt Hood many winters. I loved the west and Portland as well as most of Oregon(that's...

Did Sandwich and Jennings this past March...and loved them both. Have always considered the Algonquin for an approach, but obviously winter ruled that out. Loved reading the description. I would recommend Jennings to anyone who feels so inclined, particularly with kids if not going on to...

Hey all.....i am considering a trip to way up north Vermont to click off Jay and Big Jay on sunday of the holiday weekend to beat the snow season quickly approaching. If anyone thinks they might be in the area, give me a heads up. I will become more concrete on this as the week closes. My...

YOU MAKE ME CRY.!!!! My one visit to BSP, so far, was hurricane type conditions. Obviously didn't climb that day except to Chimney Pond CG. Your pics are friggin' awesome and i know i will get there again someday...only when i can spend enough time to sit out the weather if need be and also...

Welcome to the area..I'm over the CT border in Enfield...I really love the notch area for keeping in shape for winter outings. You can chose any combo of flats/ups/downs. The 'seven sisters' get in more vertical than you might think doing an over and back or even partial sections. Mt...

My official peak bagging trip on the Tri's was in 1999. I did the same route minus the whack near the top...back then I memorized trail book descriptions!! :eek: This past Monday (before the 4th) i took my son in via the south branch..i had this idea that he could get Middle Tri, then we would...

I have recently been researching Boundary Peak on the Maine/Canada border...i was totally loving Bob & Geri's pics. I shared the image of this peak with my son, who is a hockey and thus..in a 10yr olds logic..a Canada fan. Recently, i was around people with Canadian relatives and they were...

A more specific question on bear spray...i advised him to buy it out there as it probably is frowned upon on the airlines. He wondered if he could pack it in his luggage. I know this stuff is pressurized...can it be stowed safely? thanks, ctsparrow

HI All, My brother...lucky him, will be spending approx 2 weeks kicking around Western Montana, esp Whitefish, Glacier Nat'l Park then maybe head south to Yellowstone area. My only days spent in Montana, were in my twenties when i hadn't discovered hiking yet, i was awed by the true Big Sky...

Well, this was a second planned trip to monadnock to do the pumpelly, so a hiking partner of mine could get out and push her legs 9+miles. We had originally planned this in May, you know, on that weekend southern NH flooded!! Well, this day(6/2) was my birthday, and i warned her of my bad luck...

Out with my son again, the goal was Wiley,Field & Tom, but we ended up saving Tom for another day. I had heard about WRT and it's steepness from the Ethan Pond side, but was suitably impressed none-the-less. After a day of rest after our East Osceola trip, we headed up EP trl, thanking the AMC...

My son needed East Osceola, so we set out to approach it from the Kanc side via Greeley and East Osceola Trl. It has been 13 yrs since i stumbled upon this trail and was treated to it's steepness and roughness. My son is ten but the size of an 8 yr old. Greeley was very tame..we were going to...
