just had our other driver bail on a trip for next weekend to do the Lincoln Gap > App Gap segment of the Monroe Skyline in VT. so we are in search of a good Loop hike. 3 of us, have done Greylock, Washington & Katahdin in the past so 'strenuous' level hikes are OK, and preferred. All with...

nice! can't wait for it.

howdy folks, haven't been here in a while (both this forum & the mountains of new england) my buddy & I are dusting off the hiking boots for a couple day trips around Jay Peak for June 18-19-20 We'll be up there for the Widespread Panic show on June 19, but in between guitar solos & IPA...

seems like Maine has a small window early on Saturday...

never done anything in Evans Notch, which is what I'm looking at now... any good loops in that area? taking a dog, so no ladders please. Thanks for the help!

sorry if this is the wrong place, but Kona has been my companion on most of my trip reports I've posted here, so it's a little relevant. If not, Mods, please delete. my wife & I came to the realization our Kona simply can't be in the house anymore with our 2 little boys crawling/walking...

heading up there Monday, based on a few rec's from this place just started doing trail research, can anyone advise on a good vista-heavy loop trail? Thanks folks

hey folks - heading up to NH next month to catch the Allman Brothers / Widespread Panic show in Gilford, and we thought it would be a good opportunity to check out one of the more popular NH trails we always end up avoiding due to crowds. Monday August 24th is the day originally we looked at...

Date Hiked: 6/27/09 Trails Hiked: Weathersfield Trail Total Distance: 5.8 mi Difficulty: Moderate Conditions: Good Special Required Equipment: none Trip Report: had the parameters of a sub-three hour drive from Boston, and nothing east of I-93 in NH due race traffic concerns, so VT it was...

hey folks - anybody got a good recommendation for a southern or central VT day hike? Trying to keep driving time under 3 hours from the Boston area. Skipping NH due to race & lake traffic concerns. So far I'm looking at Mt Ascutney...any thoughts? So far only found out & backs on it, would...

unless they are camping in Baxter - with reservations all set - they are going to have a tough time getting in. July 4th weekend and all. I've heard stories of parking lots filled by 5am on summer weekends. I've only summited Katahdin on a beautiful August day, so I can't comment on bad...

not a big gear guy, but the New Balance store in Brighton now carries a wide foot hiking boot. I'm also a 12-4E and wore their old hiking boot ("Raniers"?) for several years before wearing it out. It was probably the most comfortable shoes/boots I owned. The last few years I haven't seen...

haven't bought new boots in years...unfortunately I research trails far more than I actually hike them...but it's time. I had a great pair made by a New Balance division that came in the 4E widths. felt like slippers and served me great. now it seems like every pair I try on or read about...

wow, thank you very much for the feedback he's not a great scrambler, but what he lacks in skill he makes up for in brute strength. we got him as a stray 3 years ago, and I don't think he'd been hiking at all before I took him, but he gets better every time out. probably the most demanding...

finally gonna make it up to Franconia Ridge Trail this summer and wanted to ask about dogs on the trail. probably the Flume>Lafayette day hike with 2 cars. I've got a 7 year old, 90# malamute who never goes off-leash and has been with me on all my hikes (5-10 mile dayhikes in Mass, VT, and NH)...

nice, thanks for the tip on Marsh-Billings, we may check that out depending how early we get moving.

We're looking for a day trip up to see some leaves this weekend and the Quechee Gorge has always been on our list. Any comments? Looks like it's about 2.5 hours from me in Dedham. It will be my wife & I, and our two dogs. Are there enough trails in the area to make the 5 hour RT...

good afternoon - I'm trying to squeeze a day hike into a wedding trip next weekend. I'm looking for a decent workout (5-6 miles) with a good view, preferably not with ski lifts. hopefully the weather cooperates. I've got good trip reports for Cardigan & Kearsage, any others to check out...

so I think this weekend may be my first chance to get out of the city since the winter. I'm looking for a 9 hour day max, which has to include driving time from Boston (Dedham) due to the Alaskan Malamute I'll be leaving at home in the AC. would like to do something big, but given the time...
