My first response was skepticism for many of the same reasons. But now, waiting for confirmation.

We got a credit (not a refund) when a tropical storm came through. Next time we had to cancel the second day on a 2 day hut stay we did not get a credit. For me it’s worth the risk.

A trend? Looks pretty similar to the new AMC logo.

Not the worst state high point I’ve visited. Before they “modernized” Mt Sassafras SC, we were met with a cell tower lying next to the USGS marker. PA had graffiti and a damaged summit spike; MS and KY we’re equally unimpressive.

if you haven’t already been there, Mount Rogers is the geographical high point of Virginia. Not a spectacular summit by any means but if you start at Massie Gap, head up to the Appalachian Trail and turn left, you’ll be on the Grayson Highlands. The summit trail is off the AT. Up and back,it’s...

My condolences to his family. He helped to shape my hiking throughout the years and I will miss his wisdom!

“Bet she was carried most of the way”…🥰

I had to bribe my two grandkids with candy and gifts to get them to summit. It was clearly about what I wanted them to accomplish. I started this practice after polling other parents to see how they got kids to reach the top. Not every kid is dying to get to the top!

Not a fan of real little legs making it up ALL 48 and there’s no way a small child is doing it because they want to complete the list. Little kids don’t make those decisions. I typically don’t share my views on this - don’t want the pushback.

It’s great when you can share your passion with those you love, and they “catch the bug.” For years we dragged our Tampa grandson to the huts. As he grew, so did his athleticism and appreciation for his trips to NH, a place unknown to most if not all of his friends. Two years ago he announced...

Thank you - we are going to shoot for 7:30. Although it’s a Wednesday, it will be a holiday week. Fourth of July.

In two weeks, I’ll be taking the gkids for a night at Madison Spring Hut and hopefully a summit hike or two. What is the parking situation? We plan to be there at 8 am on a Wednesday. The shuttle isn’t an option right now. If the lot is full, do cars park on the street? I’d rather not, but...

I had the honor of being the first to purchase the card years ago, just before rollout. I worked at DES, next door to F&G on Hazen Drive and wound up connected with the person in charge of the launch (discussing another matter), so I asked to be first. The Tampa grandkids have been "persuaded"...

My number one nightmare concerning winter peakbagging. Probably why I'm just 13/48 in NH!

Worked for DES for years and as we were representative of a State of NH agency, the majority of us refrained from publicly commenting on media articles and voicing contrary opinions during events and presentations to the public. It was never an issue for me and I too, am happy to support F&G in...

Anyone know the episode number? I may have missed it in the comments. I love this show, reminds me of home, but there are some episodes where not much goes on (the raccoon finds his own way out of the basement, the hiker made his own way down) and if I knew which episode I could get to the...

Me too for the same reasons. I was the very first to purchase the card years ago ( I asked to be).

As a hike leader in my community (and someone in her 60s), my first thought when I heard where he was hiking was of his age. I’m being honest - not judgy. I have folks in their 70s and a few in their 80s hiking with me and they are good company - grateful to be still doing it. But my routes are...

Curious if it's still closed. I don't see any mention of it on the Forest Service webpage. I live out of the area now and took family for a week in the Whites last week. Feeling VERY lucky we enjoyed great weather!
