    Redfield via Lake Arnold & Feldspar Lean-to

    Redfield Thanks for the information. It's good to know that I can leave the snorkel and flippers at home. I do like the route from the south. The choice this time is driven by the overnight accommodations. But next time...

    Is the first 100 yards along Uphill Brook from the lean-to now the standard start for both these peaks? If they are not the same, does anyone have any tips for differentiating the two starting points? Thanks. Cheers! JC

    Couch and Allen

    Has anyone hiked in to Couchsachraga or Allen in the last week or so? I'm contemplating doing so late next week (Friday April 29th) and am curious about trail conditions. I note there have been no write-ups on these peaks since mid-March... is there a message there I wonder? Any and all...
