Does anyone know if Mt. Clinton Road is open? One website says yes, the other says no....

I haven't seen any updates for this trail for almost a month; any ideas on the current conditions? :confused:

Time started: 8:30am Number of people seen: 5 Started out with a few clouds in the sky and temps already in the 50's - definitely did not feel like the beginning of April! This was my third trip up this mountain (Mike's fourth) - and after not hiking for several months I wasn't sure if I would...

Date of hike: 11/8 Time Started: 9am Time Completed: 1pm I meant to post this earlier this week but am just now getting around to it. Sorry! This was the first real hike I had done since Mt. Moosilauke on August 8th - our year hadn't been going very well already when my father had to go in...

Time Started: 8:20am Trails taken: Gorge Brook Trail (ascent) Carriage Road, Snapper Trail (descent) We started out on the trail at 8:20 and with the beautiful blue sky above us, knew we would have a fabulous day to hike! The air was perfect; crisp and cool like fall, but...

Time Started: 2am Sumitted: 4:45am Trail taken: Crawforth Path We arrived at the Highland Center around 12:30am, way too early to actually start up the mountain without having a lot of time to kill at the top. So we hung around in the Highland Center waiting to leave. When it came time to...

Date of Hike: 4/25 Time Start: 8am Time Finished: 1pm People Seen: 44 Dogs Seen: 6 Special Equipment: SUNBLOCK, poles The day started out with extremely dark, cloudy skies. Even though the weather reports said it was going to be sunny - it certainly didn't look like it when we arrived. The...

Trail taken: Kearsarge Trail Trail Conditions: Trail was dry for the most part; towards the top more snow was in the area. Slippery leaves always make for an interesting hike. Time Started: 8am; summit 10:15 Special Equipment: hiking pole, warm clothes Comments: The trail was easily marked...

What really scares me is that you have to email this group (according to their site, if you call them they won't call you back) to enroll - and for 'newbies' it costs $300! You have to give them the money BEFORE they call you back and let you know you can go. That sounds a little fishy to...

I for one, thank you and all the other rangers for your efforts. I can only imagine the struggles and crap you have to put up with! I appreciate the time, effort and skill you all have - and am not shocked (but embarrassed) by the way others respond to situations such as the ones you were...

Way to go! What an amazing accomplishment! :)

We must have missed that! We'll have to look for it next time. There was definitely a lot of bright green leaves/moss around, but nothing super bright! Thanks for the tip. :)

Trails: Webster-Jackson Trail Elevation: 2500 Feet Distance: 6.5 miles People seen: 49 Direction: up Webster, over to Jackson, down Jackson. Trail: Trail was wet, wet, and muddy. The blowdown right after the Elephant Head junction was easy to get around. Saw a beautiful Falcon at the top of...

Trails taken: Edmands' Path, Crawford Path Time started: 7:15am Time finished: 12:55pm People seen: 89 Trail started out in spots damp and had a few patches of mud. Towards the top, there were more wet sections, but not nearly as bad or as slippery as it was when we were on this trail on...

Date: July 5th Hiked the Webster/Jackson Trail to Bugle Cliff to watch the fireworks. We reached Bugle cliff around 7:30pm and waited for the sunset, which was perfect: After the sun went down - the fireworks went off! It was a beautiful clear night and we had a great view from the...

Yesterday...Eisenhower Yesterday we climbed Mt. Eisenhower. When were putting our stuff in the car a van pulled up into the trailhead. It was three twenty-something guys who were going to hike. I could hear them talking about how it was only going to take them 1/2 hour to 1 hour to get to...

I was wondering if anyone has been on Mt. Washington near the alpine garden and the crawford path lately? I know there are still patches of random snow up there and didn't know if anyone knew if this section was clear. Any info would be greatly appreciated! :)

A few minor errors... A few errors in judgment come to mind: In 2003 - the first year we started hiking – our first hike was up Sabattus Mt. (.8 miles about 500 feet of elevation), our second hike was up Arethusa Falls (1.3 miles, 900 feet of elevation). We decided our next adventure would be...
