I seem to remember there is a parking pass needed in NH, is this correct? If so, is it yearly? How does the year run, from the time you purchase or from beginning of the year? Finally, who do you contact for the parking permit? Thanks ahead of time

winter sports I only looked at the winter sport link but enjoyed the read. It is always interesting to read reports of areas other than the high peaks. I like the site and will visit it occassionally for hiking ideas.

vander whacker I was there recently in a Toyota Corolla. Had to use care on the last twenty feet. You could park just before the trailhead. Just drive slow.

Thanks I remember back in the sixties the lean-to before the summit of Marcy and the flowing water. There was so much vegetation compared to now. The restoration is a slow process but important. Thanks Ed!

Marker The summit is extremely small, barely three feet by two feet. The summit knob is full of chest high spruce and dead branches. As far as we could tell no sign exists. We did find some pink ribbons and one old water bottle.

google map sites I must say both uses of google are well done...will provide much useful information. Thanks

I agree with Tony the link provides a good read....

3/5, finally got to the summit of this cute little ADK 100 highest mountain. I followed ADK 88 and Ocoman trail from the previous week. The snow conditions have changed completely. The snow has consolidated so traveling was much easier. I reached the ridge without much problem. After...

What a beautiful little mountain. 3/6, decided to do this peak on a winter day with great conditions. I took the new trail, what a pain. It is not well marked and very hard to follow in winter. As a matter of fact I was on the trail only half the time because it just disappeared quite often...

Follow-up Tyler thanks for the reply. I would guess the route you took is similar to the one described in the Other 54. Where did you park? Can you park at Whiteface without paying a fee?

Turning back I have turned back on Stewart twice in conditions a lot less challenging than those you described. It is a wise saying, getting to the top is optional getting back down is mandatory. If things take the joy out of reaching the goal than is the goal worth it. Enjoyed your trip...

Way to Go I'm glad to see people get out in a little snow. How deep was the snow, 4 feet, may be 5 feet? Thanks for the pictures. It must have been pretty warm, I see you guys had your tops off.

A little information You said, we did not summit but other people did reach the top. Is that correct? Was the snow supportive or was it light and fuffy? One last question, about how deep was the snow? The reason I ask, it is a three hour drive from Albany, and I would like to do both Lyons...

Thanks for the additional information. Whether it was Pierre's track or Inge's, I stumble on as I climb it was much appreciated. I did notice the track going down the in the other direction, started to follow it but turned around. The Garmin topo software places the summit in the other...

From your mention of the Henderson mt. in your trip report of Couch, I would guess it was your group's track I stumble upon 1/23, as I climbed Henderson. Ron aka: RTSpoons

Got tired reading all the posts Look, sometimes people really need to be rescued. Than there are times when the person, like the guys described who called for help three times during the same trip. The second person should be charged....someone who falls and breaks a leg...needs help and...

A long time ago I took my family car tenting at Durant Lake campground. We had just finished dinner and were cleaning up when a large bear wander into our camp site. We slowly walked around our large family tent while the bear when around the other way. The wife and kids got into the car. I...

A number of peaks are easy in winter Cascade, Phelps, Algonquin, Colden, and even Marcy.

depending on your route I notice you live in CT. If you pass Albany, NY or Saratoga, NY on the way north stop by EMS. They rent equipment.
