I was wondering if any of the members on here would be interested in a group hike? It would be cool to meet people we converse with and with the experience level of the members, it could make for some great trail talk. The location and hike could be hashed over and maybe a consensus would work...

Someone posted this in my Pemi Valley group.

Beautiful day on a fine mountain. Ran into Ed Hawkins which is always nice, haven't seen him since the beginning of Covid when we ran into each other on Tecumseh, he gave me some cookies. Ed is an inspiration and a super nice guy. He has 8 grids, crazy.

Felt good to be on good snow. A bit cold, but nothing terrible. My dog did fantastic out there, he really excels in the winter.

Me and my trusty companion Shay climbed Mt. Hibbard (our 4th ascent) to get him into his first snow of the season. Trails were in great shape, light snow cover and frosted leaves ( this was prior to the storm), The ledges were actually mostly ice free and I made the summit without ever using...

The Belknap range is what I consider my Home Range. I can leave my house and be on a trail in an hour. It's a place where I don't track any hikes, I just go to hike and relax with my dog. Friday was my only day off, so I took slept in and hit the Naps. Gunstock/Belknap/Piper a nice three peak...

Me and my dog made his 4th ascent of this fine peak. It's really an enjoyable climb, although the eroded section in the first mile is not very pleasant. In regards to the thread on blazes, wow is this trail blazed, they are old mind you, but they are plentiful to say the least. The ledges...

The AMC sign Auction is now taking place. I believe Peakbagger used to keep us up to date on this annual event. Once again, the signs are going for high dollars. Some pretty nice signs this year. https://www.outdoors.org/get-involved/trail-maintenance/annual-trail-sign-auction/

Hopefully Dave Metsky can enlighten me or anybody else as to why this gate was added to this bridge. I can only guess to keep wildlife from getting to the lodge, but even that seems questionable.

I have a random observation and if I'm off base then it's me. As I have been hiking last few years, primarily the 52wav, I have noticed that blazes in general are not so great to downright poor. I know blazing can be a contentious subject, my point here is not necessarily to debate that, but to...

Took my usual route up Champney Falls trail, hit the summit than looped over Middle Sister and jumped on the MS cut-off to get back on the CFT. Stick season is upon us and it felt fantastic. Fast conditions, no snow, no ice and cool temps for my dog who cruised along at a nice pace. Gusty winds...

For our 4th trip up the Royce's I was planning on trying a new approach via the Burnt Mill brook trail. Looks like the Wild River road is closed and it's too far to walk it. From what I could gather from the Forest Service site, this closure is fairly permanent? I know Daytrip haunts that area...

As a soloist and an introvert, I enjoy hikes that are not that busy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy meeting people on the trail for sure. This holiday weekend gave me few choices, but looking at my list, I thought Mt. Hayes might work and it came through with flying colors. I decided to take the...

The ATC has issued a statement saying mile 0 to 860 of the Appalachian Trail is to be considered closed. Some friends of mine were down there to do a TN section and they had a rough time during the storm at their hostel before ever setting foot on the trail. They are back here now safe, giving...

I wanted to hike on Sunday, but had no desire to join the leaf peeping madness in the Whites. Decided to hit one of our home ranges the Ossipees. Turns out, we needed Shaw for our 4th round of the 52wav list as well. I took the route from the Castle grounds and I never tire of the tote roads and...

Great hike up the Horn today. Rain off and on, but not too bad. Mud as usual, great cool temps, it was chilly traversing the ridge being wet in the wind, but it was perfect for my dog. Our third time up and it's still fun.

Me and my trusty sidekick are heading to VA to hike McAvee Knob next month. I confess to doing a shoddy research job on VA. Anyone have a cool peaks in the state let me know, I am familiar with the peaks near the knob.

Olivarian Brook trail to the loop, we went clockwise to ascend the ledgy section of the ledge. Passaconnaway cut-off is a dream to descend. Had a great hike, never saw another person, water everywhere for my dog. Our first good hike in three weeks with good temps for my dog. Fungi everywhere...

This summer has been brutal. Me and my dog haven't hiked in 2 weeks ( I did do Kearsarge south without him). Looks like the sun will give us a break starting tomorrow and we can't wait to get back out there. I used to love summer, now I long for shoulder season and my K10's, lol.

I love Mt. Monadnock, but they do not allow dogs and I own a dog. I have over 200 ascents, but I rarely ever set foot on the peak anymore, because my dog is always at my side. Well, my dog is nursing a leg injury, so I thought, I'll lie to him and tell him I'm going to work and scoot over to...
