Yes. The plan is to do the Zealand/Bonds traverse. Wish me luck!

I pulled into the Lafayette Campground parking around 7:30 AM. The air was cold and it was snowing lightly as I geared up. Just as I was leaving another car pulled up, a hiker on an AMC hike that was meeting his group for 8:00. I was thankful to find the Lonesome Lake Trail was packed out...

I'd been thinking about weekend hiking all week but the forecasted cold weather had me a bit apprehensive. Late Friday night I decided to check the forecast for Saturday and still ...cold... negative numbers. But... the morning was susposed to be sunny. I'm a sucker for sunny weather and...

2008 was a great year for me and the start of my serious hiking. My goals were to hike all 48 of the NH4K in 2008 and to hike over 1000 miles. Most of the mileage was to come from my morning hikes up Pack Monadnock for exercise. My Garmin GPS followed me on all my 4000 footer hikes and various...

I was looking for a quick hike today as the weather forecast was for a partly sunny mornng. Cannon Mountain looked like a good choice for a winter hike as it’s short and I familiar with the Kinsman Ridge Trail, having hiked it twice before. I arrived at the tramway parking shortly after 8:00...

Trail conditions: frozen crust, icy sections and some postholes. From the looks of the frozen tracks someone walked up the trail in boots when the snow was soft (leaving lots of postholes) and came down in snowshoes (why not use the snowshoes on the way up?) Trail had lots of icy sections when...
