COOL!! Thanks for the link.

Catskills: Wittenberg Kaaterskill High Peak Westkill Tremper Adirondacks: Dix Algonquin Big Slide Giant Just to list a few.

Set out this morning for an easy 1 peak hike. I figured Belleayre was out there all by itself. I failed to confirm where the high peak was, I just looked at the NY/NJ trail map and fixed upon the marked elevation point. I started at the end of Woodchuck Hollow Rd. on the PW(B) trail. A nice...

I have been following this post and here is my 2 cents. I found VFTT a few years ago and felt it to be a Northeast hiking site. I am perfectly happy with the format as it is now. I found that I moved over to ADK HP more for my Catskill and Adirondacks hikes, but that did not stop me from...

Last year I was having problems with freezing tubes and water bottles. I have started taking a no frills 1 quart stainless steel thermos. The hot liquid really hits the spot and you will definitly drink the treat at breaks rather than triing to drink an ice cold water if you are cold. For...

So true about the pictures. I can look at the hundreds of pictures and they take me back to that hike. When I try to show the pictures to family and friends, they are amazed at the scenery until about the 10th picture, after 20 they are having a totally unrelated conversation. Oh well, thats...

Sorry to hear you didn't make your destination. BUT More important, grad to hear everyone was OK on the false alarm.

Great TR and pictures. Sounds like a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

I've had a pretty productive and safe year of hiking. Met and hiked with many great people. *Catskill 35 *Adirondack 46 *300 + more miles of AT completed. 2009 done, 165 to go. Hiked into Trail Days in Damascus. Great time. *Backcountry trip in Yellowstone and Glacier with my son. *Good start...

Nice pictures. Sounds like a great trip. The snow looks great. Starting to wonder if we are going to get any real snow at home this year.

Nice pictures. Sounds like you all had a good time. I hiked the lost articles path this past weekend. This time I finished with everything I started with except my sandwich. It was the finish of my W35. George

Planning on finishing the W35 on Sat 12/30. Balsam Lake > Graham > Doubletop The plan is doing the loop from the Beaver Kill Road PA. Anyone wanting to hook up with us is more than welcome. George

Anyone up for a quick hike Sunday morning up to Kaaterskill HP and Roundtop? Give me a shout. George

Glad to hear you made it out allright. I think this event really re-enforces how hiking alone during winter conditions could have been fatal.

Nice TR and great pictures. Sounds like a real nice hike.

Indeed it was. Nice meeting you Chip, and everyone else as well. This turned out to be a great hike on a beautiful day. We held together quite well for a group of 12. Nice TR Tom. Hope your leg is allright. I guess it's not a bushwack unless a little blood is left behind. Congrats to Cam...

I have Ice Dragons, and Bugabootoo's. I have found them to be very warm and comfortable for hiking, snowshoes and crampons down to about 0 deg F. Haven't been out with them in colder weather yet. For the price, you can't go wrong. I

I would be interested in Van Wyck and the two plane wrecks also. Hundred Highest in the area I would like possibly to hike. Red Hill, Little Rocky, Woodhill, Denman. George

Hey Terri, CONGRATULATIONS. Glad to hear you had such a great day for your finish. Did you sneak up on the mountain this time?

I just came back from a week on the AT down in the Smokies. The Mountain Ash down there were loaded with berries. The bright red berries against the blue sky are quite a spectacular sight.
