After finishing Mt Hale in the morning and still seeing the sunshine, I just couldn't waste the afternoon so I headed over to Cannon. The trail was a steep as it always is and the path between the outlook and the summit was muddy in all the usual places. On the final approach to the summit...

Saturday called for good weather in the morning and cloudy with rain in the afternoon so I was looking for a short hike to fill my morning. With Zealand road open, Mt Hale seemed to fit the bill. Recent trail reports indicated the Hale Brook Trail was mostly snow free. Snowshoes... stay in...

Last Wednesday the weekend weather forecast looked rainy but Friday looked to be a blue sky day so I booked off work to head north for a weekend of hiking. I had taken the last 2 weekends off to get some yard chores done so I was ready for some elevation. Since Friday looked to be the pick of...

Great photos. It really was a nice day to be above treeline.

What can you say. Last Sunday was a perfect day to be above tree line. I had to be back in time for dinner so I headed up early and started up the bike bath From the White House Trailhead parking around 7:00am. Except for a few patches of snow the ground was bare. Approaching the stream...

The Zealand/Bonds Traverse did it for me this past winter. 23 mile hike. Wonder what's it's like to do in the summer? I guess a bit shorter since you don't have to do the Zealand road.

I believe it was .2 miles from the summit. I'm guessing a bit as I'm looking at my GPS track and it looks like I wandered off trail at this point. I should have set a waypoint then I would have known for sure.

Sad that the winter hiking season was over, I decided it was time to start filling in my spring list! I had hiked 7 peaks in the spring last year so the field was wide open for places to hike. The forecast was for partly sunny and warm so I headed off to the Franconia Notch on Saturday...

On a hike up Mt Layafette this weekend this plaque caught my eye just off to the right of the Greenleaf Trail about 0.2 miles from the summit. Some googling around found Everett was the Dean of Students at MIT but I could find no reference to what his connection was to this trail/mountain...

Having only purchased crampons late this winter and using them once I had been using microspikes and MSRs for traction. Your TR makes me glad I bought crampons!

When up Pack this morning and the road is mostly bare with some icy patches. Bareboots were fine with the 14F temp on the summit. May get slippery when the temp warms up more.

Congrats on finishing your W48 MadRiver! Sorry we missed bumping into you on Adams/Madison summits.
