Thanks Earl! I appreciate the information and look forward to your next trip report. As Grace Hudowalski (legendary ADK 46er Historian) used to say, "good climbing!"

Earl, Great TR and terrific photos...so appreciative of your switch to SmugMug. With such wonderful and reliable photos, I am curious how you keep your camera/battery functional in winter temps with an (apparent) outside camera pouch. Do you use chemical warmers inside the camera case? Any...

Thanks Earl! What a terrific Christmas gift! You (and Sue) are a reliable and trustworthy resource for White Mountain hiking. I consulted your comprehensive TR's several times on my way to completing the 48 this past September. Happy New Year and continued safe travels in the mountains!

Earl (and Sue) As a long-time admirer of your excellent trip reports and photographic narratives, thank you for the Smugmug connection. Seeing the photos truly enhances the written TR. The mountain adventures you and Sue share are always appreciated.

Since I am not a Facebook user, is there another way to enjoy your great photos after reading such thorough, well-written narratives?

Thanks Tom! Thanks Tom for thinking of us! Mt. Carrigain was a spectacular way to finish and the weather was incredibly beautiful. We were fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.

Thanks Thanks eddie! Just 11 left in Maine (did Katahdin, Hamlin and N. Brother in August of 2001)....we'll see how it goes next year.

Finishing the New Hampshire Forty-Eight Mt. Isolation, 9.10.12 Mt. Carrigain, 9.12.12 It wasn’t “easy”, but it was certainly a fitting end to an exceptional hiking experience in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. When I first visited this region, I honestly had no intention of finishing the...

Mt. Isolation 4003’ September 10, 2012 We arrived at Joe Dodge Lodge in Pinkham Notch late on Sunday afternoon after long drive from home. Our plan was to hike Mt. Isolation (#47) on Monday (9.10.12); rest on Tuesday; hike Mt. Carrigain (#48) on Wednesday and drive home Thursday after...

Mt. Carrigain 4700’ September 12, 2012 Wednesday, September 12 came all too soon. We took an R&R day on Tuesday to recoup weary muscles, tired bones and sore feet, but the physical impact of our Mt. Isolation hike on Monday prevailed. I aggravated a recent left leg, medial collateral and...

Photo link correction I have recopied and redone the photo link to the Mt. Marcy TR. I hope the correction works. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just shy of 15 miles (round trip) with 3,166 feet of elevation gain, Mt. Marcy is viewed by some to be a moderate hike. I tend to give a hike of this length, ascent and potential extreme exposure more weight, although comparatively speaking there are many other summits more challenging in the...

Congratulations! Atta boy...Rookie!

Thanks Tim, I understand and appreciate your thoughtful response.

Thanks to everyone for some clarification regarding the Sawyer River Road. I am aware that the road is currently closed to all vehicular traffic, but I was taken back by the statement, "closed to foot traffic". While I realize the road was closed to foot traffic after TS Irene rearranged the...

I was reading a hiking website and came across this: "There are rumors kicking around that Sawyer River Road might be closed to foot traffic while it's undergoing final repairs between June and August." Does anyone have any information regarding this possibility?

Pyramid, Gothics, Armstrong Loop IMO, there are few views unsurpassed in the High Peaks and Pyramid is at the the top of that short list. Although not an "official" 46er summit, the summit shelf of Pyramid (4595') is breathtaking (literally and figuratively) and provides a spectacular...

Congratulations Ken! Congratulations Ken Austin! I hiked with you many, many moons ago when we were both breaking in our first pair of hiking boots. It is great to see you are still enjoying the summits and forests. Pete

Correction suggested Correction suggested: The statement…”Four other trails also remain closed: the Deer Brook Trail from Route 73 to Snowy Mountain” should read…”…..Snow Mountain”

Congratulations! What a great achievement! Congratulations on your Adirondack Forty-Sixer finish on such a magnificent summit. The Gray/Skylight tandem was the exact finish sequence for myself and my two sons as we became 46ers in 1997. Your photos and thoughtful narrative bring back many...
