Hi everyone, After a long hiatus to explore my new stomping grounds (VT), my partner and I are heading to NH this weekend. We're hoping to do Whiteface and Passaconaway (#'s 46 and 47!). Somehow, I've managed to misplace my old WM guide. A few questions if you don't mind: 1. Is the hike...

Thanks for the myriad of great suggestions. It seems the hike will be more straightforward than I had envisioned. I'll take a close look at the map re: camping. We talked about dayhiking it, but we're also using the trip as a way to get out of the major holiday crowds. If you happen to be in...

My better half and I hope to complete her 46 this weekend with a trip up Allen (saving the best for last?) Does anyone have info on this hike? I seem to get conflicting reports about the preferred route. Is it still in terrible shape from blowdowns? Recommended places to camp? Is the route...

Thanks for the quick reply. That's shorter than I remembered, leaving plenty of time to hit the Bonds. While I'm seeking input, does anyone have thoughts on a route for this 3-day? I'm debating between coming in from the Pemi (next to Owls Head) and out the Thoreau falls (hope I remember...

I've managed to lose my White Mountains Guide and was wondering if anyone knew the mileage from Galehead hut to Zealand hut. We're hoping to do a pre-season hike into Galehead, then out to Bond backtracking to Zealand, then out. (three days)

A friend and I are going to be in Southern Utah for exactly two days next week - wish it could be longer, but no such luck. anyone have suggestions for great hikes or other ideas in Zion, or perhaps Bryce? Neither of us have been, and we want to get cover as much as possible in two days. Thanks.

As another alternative, you might want to consider Big Bend National Park on the West Tx / Mexico border. One of my favorite places in the world. Dry, barren, and stunning. You can do a three day loop in the Basin area looping around the South Rim trail and up Emory Peak, with views for 100's...

Unfortunately for those looking to buy American made products, Mountainsmith moved their production to Taiwan or Vietnam in 1999. According to people who follow this stuff much closer than I ever would, some of the best stitching and materials production in the world occurs in that part of...

Osprey's are indeed great packs. Just to clarify something - I understand that some of their production moved overseas several months ago.

In an earlier post, I asked about doing Cliff and Allen in a single weekend. We have decided to wait to do Allen at a later date. So, we're just doing Cliff from ADK loj this weekend as a more relaxed overnight or three day. In the earlier thread, people mentioned doing Cliff directly from...

Does anyone know a reasonable route to do these two peaks in a three day winter trip? As you may imagine, I'm hiking with someone who needs these two - and only these two! - to finish the 46. It would be great if we could get them in one trip over MLK weekend. We don't want to do a death...

Outside of Leadville, you can do an excellent one-day hike that climbs Democrat, Lincoln, Bross and Cameron. It's probably 10 miles as a loop and starts at Kite Lake, a great camping area. Disclaimer: It's been a long time and for all I know the Kite Lake camping area could be gone these...
