Your Favorite Hike.

[andyzee]

OK, I have no work from Mon-Thurs and planning on gettin in a good hike. Most likely hike will be the same one we did a couple of weeks ago, Algonquin Peak, NY 09/17/007 , or a variation of it. Also considering heading up to Whites in NH. As a result, I'm wondering what everyone would pick as their favorite.

For me it's the above hike or Breakneck Ridge in NY, I can do that one anytime since it's only about 60 miles from me.

I really enjoy the long trail from Lincoln Gap to the Appalachian Gap..Camels Hump is also nice..as well as Mount Hungar. There are also some cool sections of the Catamount trail north and south of the Winooski river with nice watering holes that look like natural Jacuzzis. I've never hiked any of the big Adirondack peaks yet..

I've been busy lately but I was just thinking of a thread for people to list their favorite hikes by state.

Algonquin trips are always nice.

A couple of mine:

Cascade (ADK's) not a hard trip to get a view. (I was shorted on my trip, in the clouds)
Macomb, (ADK) Views open up as soon as you hit the slide, lakes & autumn leaves

In VT, Hunger is not bad, not too long (in the fog the day I did it but wide open summit on south peak)
VT - I like Mansfield from Underhill State park, can be done as a ridge loop, Hit Sunset Ridge one way or the other

NH Lots of favorites, Mossilauke from DOC's Ravine Lodge, Garfield, Franconia Loop over Lincoln & Lafayette (going to be crowded until late October on weekends) Eisenhower, Twins, Osceolas

OK, doing some research. Any comments on Brothers/Big Slide?

Brothers & Big Slide comments:

This is a great hike too. Just even doing the first couple of brothers would be a great trip with all the ledges. The view of Gothics & company from Big Slide is real nice too.

Yeah, that's what I thought this thread was going to be about....

Anyways, I love going to Baxter State Park in Maine. My all time favorite is Chimmney Pond from Roaring Brook. But I don't think there's a hike at BSP that I haven't liked, well except for that one scary section(for me) on Hamlin Ridge, the rest of Hamlin was great.

Let's see in NH, one of my favorites was Jennings Peak and that one was kinda by default. We were attempting to do some of the Sandwich Range, but stopped at Jennings Peak, which worked out very good. But now we're working on the 48 list.

My favorite hike is.....one I am going to keep my mouth shut on. Seriously, the last time I saw it featured in a newspaper, it was crazy busy.



That said, if you want to know where an incredible, short, interesting hike is located, PM me and maybe I can show you....kind of like those killer glades in ski season.
