Hi all Looking to hike alone this weekend. Not real comfortable doing something I've never done before...that isn't well marked when I'm alone. I've been to Tumbledown recently and the trail that goes around the back of the pond (from the loop trail) is...well...sketchy. Luckily, I've been...

Lost Saturday, June 1, 2013. LL Bean Hiking boots, brown, female size around 8ish...have dr. scholl's inserts... Lost at the Hadlock Brook Trail head, Acadia National Park, ME

Anyone been there recently? Also...what about today's snow? Thanks.

Hi there Taking a friend up to Baxter this weekend (weather permitting!). We would like to go up Dudley, across the knife's edge, to Hamlin and down the Hamlin ridge trail. We have done knife's edge and know what to expect. However, we have not done Dudley. Can anyone give me a comparison...

Hi all... Looking to finally do Jefferson via the Castle trail...hoping to loop it using Isreal Ridge trail as the out (starting at the gulfside trail once we are off Jefferson)... What do you all think? What trail compares in steepness (Lowes?)...will we be sorry if we choose this for a way...

dog?! WHAT...no...that would burst my "OMG look what WE'RE following" bubble. :D The only reason I do notthink that it is a domestic of any kind is that we saw no one on the trail except as we were leaving about 4 hrs later (we saw this on the way UP to the summit)...and no doggies anywhere...

Interesting information! we were not thinking coyote due to the size...but, if they were partly dried...true, they would be smaller. The toes didn't to me or hubby point correctly for a cat...and, the back pad didn't look quite right either (but, what do we know). As for size, well...the...

on a log bridge on the AT on the way up to the summit of saddleback (Maine)...near a small pond (the one between Ethan and Eddy)...boggy area with a lot of firs. We are thinking...mountain lion...but are absolutely not very good in the track id game...

Just wondering...how are the trails for these peaks? Saddleback: The AT all the way over to the horn Biggelows: Firewardens to Avery, West, Horns (both), Horn pond trail down: PARTICULARILY the water crossing right at the start. Thanks.

hubby and I are DYING to get some hiking...WITHOUT snowshoes or post hole (snowshoes off, snowshoes on) frustration. We like to do it from Rte. 4...the trail that goes to piazza rock campground and up and over the summit (I think this is the AT you are referring to in your report?) So...sounds...

Winter boots...columbia...don't remember the exact type now...

What is recommended for adding padding to the tongue area? How would you add it to prevent it from moving throughout the day?

Can you explain the lacking "lock"? Is this where you "knot" the laces at the ankle...then continue lacking up the ankle to then do a final "tie" at the top? I've heard of this...especially to keep feet "warmer" as it allows you to keep the toe box loose for ventilation and circulation while...

It had been quite some time since we've hiked...about 3 months. The problem usually starts about 1 1/2 miles on the way DOWN...and can be pretty bad by the end of the hike. This was not a particularily long hike...about 8 miles...so, the last 2 1/2 pretty sore...

The toenail thing isn't a big deal for me...don't wear sandles much so it's ok :o It HURTS going down that mountain and can really be a total drag especially when the "out" is lllloonnngg. So GLAD to hear it's not just me...

Hi all Took my first hike in QUITE A WHILE (3 months I think)...one problem that I had pretty bad is what I call "toe bang"...as you go down...your toes hit the front of the boot and, after doing this for a while...it really doesn't feel too good. I've got a really pretty purple "blood...

Thanks all Really appreciating all the advice...it is happily taken with no issue of hard feelings or "overstepping". Hikers have a reputation of being concerned and caring of eathother and I take all this wonderful advice in that spirit. Bob and I have summitted Washington 3 times in the...

I've done the Ammo in Winter and thought it rougher than the Jewel? Can you DESCEND the ammo safely in the winter? This loop is one of my favorites and I would LOVE to do it...

Nope, not committeed...not at all. SAFETY FIRST!!! We would have NO problem turning around if necessary (he's too tired/dehydrated/cold...it's too windy, etc). He is very interested in Washington...and...we were thinking Jewell trail as it is quite easy to treeline...and has BEAUTIFUL views...

We were gonna go up and back via the Jewell trail...from 302...that way, he can get a fairly easy trek to above treeline...and then so GEORGEOUS views from there. I've done it in the winter before and remember it as not too bad. Also...if we only get to the cul between Clay and Washington...he...
