HAHAHAHA LOL!! Thanks. I think I will rent a pair.

So from the sound of it, I'm likely to hit some snow this weekend...having never used snowshoes before, I was wondering if renting a pair for my journey this weekend would be worthwhile or not?? I just don't really want to be sinking 3' deep postholes every other step for a few miles with a...

thanks Thanks Michael for the info on spider bridge...I was actually planning on taking the highwater trail down to that bridge and taking black angel and basin trail to loop back to the campground...looks like I'll be re-thinking that section. Roy, can I assume rock ledges are a plenty in...

Howdy folks...haven't posted here in so very very long. Planning my first trip out since last fall, and it's looking like I'll be solo friday, and meeting up with some friends on sat. Right now planning on heading up carter-moriah trail from gorham up to the summit and then over the kenduskeag...

thru hike?? Could you thru-hike the NST?? Is there any legal camping along the way spaced a days' walk apart?? I'd love to thru-hike that in the spring sometime...

Howdy folks. Well, I'm leaving my job for a higher paying closer to home job...I'm giving myself a little bit of time off in between to decompress, and what better way then a little backpacking...I'm interested in doing this trip in VT, of which I know little about the trails/camping...

any campsites?? Hey askus, that route (approaching Moriah from the Shelburne trail) looks intriguing...are there any decent spots to set up a tent along that route that you recall?? Thanks!

ok, sorry gang, one more question...are there any spots to pitch a tent between the Imp campsite and Moriah?? Has anyone set up camp up there before, or seen any spots that look decent?? thanks again.

excellent Excellent...thanks gents!! I know my girlfriend will be pleased there are outhouses at each location...although, maybe not :o By the way, Dave I haven't it posted yet, but I can't thank you enough for the wealth of info your (and Mohammed's!!) site provides, I've been looking at it...

Hello again folks. Trying to gather as much info as I can before bringing my girlfriend on her first backpack this weekend. Planning on hitting the Moriah Brook trail around 2:00pm on friday and hoping to make it to the Imp campsite by 4:30-5:00...what are the chances the tent platforms will...

Good day everyone. Can anyone tell me anything about the crossing from the Wild River Trail to the Highwater trail, near the Wild River Campground and the junction with Moriah Brook trail?? Is there a bridge? If no bridge is the crossing difficult with high water?? Difficult with even low...

So I will be in MA sat. afternoon (south shore) and I would really like to head up sat. night for a quick overnight...hoping to leave S.S. MA by about 5:30 and get up to the whites around 8:00-8:30...any ideas on a route where I can head in from the trailhead a bit and set up camp for the night...

Thanks!! Thanks guys!!

Hey gang...first off I don't have a WMNF guide book, perhaps this question is answered in there...at any rate, I was suprised and overjoyed on my Rocky Branch/Davis Path loop around Isolation a few months ago to see the established tent sites along the route (the little brown square tent signs...

good info for the unaware... I was having some serious knee issues last year...really scared me....thought my days of hiking were over...so I looked into it...sounded like poles might help my problem...did some research and came across this site...

thanks... Thanks to Dave for the info on the water. Steve, I put a lot of thought into where to take him....and my biggest con with this area is the crowds...so we're going to hike it on a friday (I'm hoping there will be substantially fewer people on an early Friday morning that a weekend)...

cripple... HAHAHAHA...cripple. My toe does not hurt at the moment...I've taped it, and it has little opportunity to move in my shoes...my boots are significantly stiffer than my shoes and fit like a dream...no sliding forward on the downhills...but again, we'll see what happens...the chip...

thanks!! Thank you JFB!! That's precisely the info I was looking for!! Now one more question....is there any water to be found between the haystack and flume?? or even flume and liberty for that matter??

Wow... I forgot that most of this board is populated with old-timers :D Seriously though...that loop was my first serious hike, and I was pretty out of shape...only a year out of college...a pack and a half a day smoker (for 5 years). Ran cross-country in high school, but hadn't done ANY...

Howdy. So I'm taking my little brother hiking this weekend. It'll be the first time ever doing anything like this....he's never even really been in the mountains...just maybe seen a few from a distance through the glass on the car...he just turned 15, I think he'll be in good shape (better...
