    AMC Mountain Leadership School

    Nice report/ The pictures really show what kind of weather you were having. I can sympathize. I attended MLS with the AMC a few years ago. Boy have things changed. You guys got the Highland center - we had to stay at Joe Dodge lodge and use the Pinkham Notch facilities. Looks like you had...

    Suggestions for a White Mountain Moron

    I'd agree with just about any of the above. The FW-OBP is a great hike but is sort of cliche - you'd feel like too much of a tourist. Of those mentioned I would have to go with SK's Six Husbands-Sphinx loop. I have a few favorites not yet mentioned: I love trails that pop out suddenly above...

    Alaska

    Oops Just realized how few Alaska pictures I had put up. I added a bunch more, but have reached my free limit. Time to consider the upgrade, I guess.

    Alaska

    Not really a trip report, but thought people would enjoy the photos. We only got a short hike in as part of this land and cruise vacation. The weather was spectacular, however, and Denali was in the clear every day. We took a flight tour from Talkeetna - awesome. We also did a 4 hour glacier...

    Colorado Photo Journal

    Great photos, Chomp. I always enjoy your photo journals. What kind of camera do you use?

    Sunrise, sunset ...Katahdin and Washington in a day

    Hey all, Just back from Alaska, not a hiking trip per se, but we did get out a little. I will post a trip report and pictures soon. Anyway, just wanted to comment on this thread since it got semi-revived. We did talk about Mansfield, but it was not part of our original plan and so we would...

    Katahdin Rock Slide, one dead other injured

    What a shame. This is somewhat stunning news to me as I was still sort of basking in the glow of a night hike I did on the Cathedral trail just a week ago. From one end of the spectrum to another. My condolences to all involved.

    Does this look right? (Jefferson to Adams)

    I think the loop in question is the Jefferson summit loop from the Gulfside. The Gulfside bypasses the summit (as Dave describes).

    Sunrise, sunset ...Katahdin and Washington in a day

    Interestingly Dave had hooked up with a reporter from a paper called The Day in Connecticut. Not sure how that happened, but she was talking of writing some type of article about it. She had several ideas (not all of them for the paper), but I have not heard from her since the day after. I...

    Sunrise, sunset ...Katahdin and Washington in a day

    Amen to that! You're right about the drive though. I think my left arm is the part of me that was most sore the next day -- from checking my watch on the drive from Baxter to Pinkham. Man, I thought that would never end.

    Russell Pond, Davis Pond, Hamlin Peak (and Ridge) Loop (BSP)

    Great trip report Sherpa! You are right, I do need to get up the and schlep around for a few days. Too bad you could not enjoy it fully. Looking forward to the pics.

    Sunrise, sunset ...Katahdin and Washington in a day

    Sherpa, You tryin' to say I didn't pay my dues? Well, you're right. Not on this trip I didn't. I do love BSP, but have not gotten to much other than Roaring Brook and Chimney Pond to stay and the 4K's to hike. I do need to get back and get to the other areas of the park.

    Sunrise, sunset ...Katahdin and Washington in a day

    Hi Katie! We do seem to keep crossing paths, don't we? Have you had any more pics published? Hope you get back to Baxter, it is a unique place and, of course, the Knife Edge is one of the top "must do" hikes in the Northeast Already the trip is seeming like it wasn't that hard. It just took...

    Sunrise, sunset ...Katahdin and Washington in a day

    OK, we didn't stay for the sunset on Mount Washington, but it was a better title than "Hey, we're stoopid!" We did consider the sunset thing initially, though, and eventually decided against it. So, about three weeks ago, I got an email from Dave whom I attended MLS with a couple years ago. He...
