An Adirondack day hike that shares some of the prime characteristics of the Franconia Ridge loop, Silverback - initial long uphill climb with similar vertical and length with a few downs/ups along the way - would be an out and back from the Rt 73 trailhead (near Chapel Pond) to Giant and Rocky...

Hikerbrian, Here's your statement of your ultimate training objective: If those are your two ultimate objectives, do you even need to worry about magnetic declination? Say a person is in a region of 15 degree magnetic declination but is clueless about it. My view is that in most real world...

Having just contacted the folks at Cannon Mountain, they state (and nothwithstanding Becca M's excellent trail report), the Mittersill-Cannon trail will remain officially closed through this summer, possibly summer 2016 as well. Some details of the Mittersill Improvement Project, the reason...

No one will write anyone a ticket for hiking on closed Vermont State Park trails during mud season. Minutes ago I just exchanged emails with a manager there. My two questions: "How are the trail closures indicated?" Answer: "There are signs at the trailheads for trails on Mt. Mansfield &...

Daytrip, appreciate your comments, which among other matters, reminds me of the many navigation styles and combination of navigation tools we choose to employ, something I tend to overlook at times. For me your key statement in your last comment was: Here's why: If I do NOT know where A is, I...

DayTrip, You have provided articulate and nuanced observations on both your wilderness navigation challenges and need for GPS. So this opens the door to take the conversation to the next level. Travelling over unfamiliar and unremarkable terrain in low-visibility conditions is a considerable...
