    Trail Maintainence in the Whites, what's Ok ?

    I'm a trail adopter for the Mt Clinton Trail. There have always been a considerable number of blowdowns after the winter, so if anyone wants to remove a few, be my guest. Last year was so bad, I never even got to the lower part of the trail near the Dry River. However, since it's a wilderness...

    Good Businesses In the Whites

    Northshore - The conveinece stores sounds like Lowe's. They offer parking (for a small fee) which is convenient if you're hiking Lowe's Path.

    shuttle options in white mts

    I have used these two shuttles in situations like yours: The Shuttle Connection - based in Lincoln - http://shuttleconnection.com/ Art Jolin's White Mountain Shuttle - based in Gorham - 1-603-466-2127 - no website that I know of. He's probably your best bet going to Appalachia. Both of...

    Two fox sightings in four days

    I saw this fox in the Highland Center parking lot on Saturday (5/1/10). It could be the same fox that Mohamed and others saw, but I can't tell one fox from another. It stopped about 10 feet from me in the parking lot as I was getting my hiking poles out of my trunk. I looked at me for a few...

    Can you identify these picture locations?

    I also agree with all 3, although my first impression of #1 was Whiteface (mostly because of the farm below) until I realized that the mountains in the distance didn't make sense for that view. I have a number of pictures of Hillman's Highway that look pretty much exactly like #2 except for...

    Crawford Path Blazing

    I also turned back on Saturday after following snowshoe tracks that were obviously veering too far to the south. I later met the two hikers (and their dog) who said that they had never found the summit and had bushwhacked down to Mizpah and headed back. I had been up earlier to Mizpah to...

    Mt. Isolation from Mitzpah hut

    I maintain the Mt Clinton Trail, from the hut down to its junction with the Dry River Trail. I have met the couple who maintain the Dry River Cutoff and I know they visit it several times a year so I'm sure it's in good shape. Like others have said, the Dry River crossing at the Mt Eisenhower...

    Help in identifying a wildflower

    Does anyone know what this wildflower is? I can't find it in any of my books or on the web. I took in the Southern Presidentials at around 3000 feet in June. Thanks.

    Pemi Wilderness Bridge Removal Project

    Did you mean the 13 Falls Campsite? If he was looking for the 10-Mile Brook Trail, he had REALLY gone out of his way?

    Pemi Wilderness Bridge Removal Project

    The sign that Willoughby posted the picture of is also on the Wilderness Trail at the Wilderness boundary. However, there were no signs by either bridge. Here are pictures of the two "offending" bridges taken yesterday. Black Brook bridge Suspension bridge

    Pemi Wilderness Bridge Removal Project

    I'm confused about the status of the bridge right now. Is it closed, or is it open until they start removing it? I was planning on hiking up the Signal Ridge Trail Carrigain tomorrow, going down the Desolation Trail and over to Stillwater Junction, and then hiking the entire length of the...

    Great Gulf

    Has anyone been in the Great Gulf recently? I'm thinking of climbing Washington on Saturday via the Great Gulf Trail but I don't know how high the water levels are there and no one has posted a trail condition report from that area. Thanks.

    Mt Garfield & Galehead Hut via Garfield, Garfield Ridge, & Gale River Trails

    Date of Hike: 5/26/09 Trail Conditions: All trails mostly dry. The Garfield Ridge Trail between the Garfield Trail and Mt Garfield had a few patches of snow and ice, but they weren't an issue. The river/brook crossings on the Gale River Trail were not difficult. Special Equipment Required...

    Sawyer River Rd & Rt 302 question

    It's been a few years since I drove to the Signal Ridge Trailhead on Sawyer River Rd. Because I'm considering hiking from Lincoln Woods to climb Carrigain via the Wilderness and Desolation Trails, and then down by the Signal Ridge Trail and Sawyer River Rd, I'm wondering if there is a store or...
