Thanks for the help. I'm leading a group on Memorial Day weekend. If I can convince everyone to bring a tent we might camp there if the weather is good. I was hoping to hear there were maybe some...

How is the camping on top of Grassy Ridge Bald? Is there water nearby? Any good places for hammock hanging around treeline?

I carried a bearikade on my thru-hike. I currently use an Ursack and love it. The security and convenience of a canister without the weight. Noice.

All answers outside of New Hampshire or Maine are irrelevant.

Or cross country running.

Hiking is absolutely not a sport. Trying to make it a sport goes against the very essence of what hiking is.

Having said that, I think it would be great if orienteering or adventure racing were...

Actually, here is a reason to keep your food in your possession.

Bears getting killed is not a good thing.

Anyway, I use an Ursack. Just slightly heavier than a regular foodbag, and you don't...

I generally dont recommend Rattle River Shelter, its too close to the road and gets a lot of transient traffic.

I can see that, although my experience there was just fine. It was just me and a...

Guyot is always full beyond capacity.

Even in the middle of the week?

In '04 I stealth-camped just north of Galehead Hut. Just continue maybe a quarter mile then look for a path off into the...

any good views from the moriah trail?

Anyway, I just threw that out there as a possible itinerary. I don't know this person's capabilities too well, so I tried to err on the side of less difficult. She can modify it to her needs and...

Hey, it's a good spot if she wants one more night in the woods. If not, move on to town.

When you get to U.S. 302 at Crawford Notch, there is a campground with a general store (Crawford Notch General Store and Campground) about 3 miles to the right, according to my '08 guide; probably...

If you need a little extra food, or just something different, try to stop at the huts just after lunchtime. They often have leftovers for sale or giveaway.

the 2 easiest stretches in the whites are zealand falls to crawford notch
Sure, it'd be easy to hike the 3 extra miles to Crawford Notch, but Ethan Pond is a gorgeous and serene campsite in the...

one possible itinerary:

day 1 glencliff to beaver brook shelter- 8 miles
day 2 eliza brook shelter 9 miles
day 3 liberty spring tentsite 11 miles. long hard grueling climb (2300 feet in 2.3...

If you have 2 weeks to hike, I would do Glencliff to Gorham. That's about 100 miles, and you get all the major peaks in. If you don't have that much time, do Franconia Notch to Gorham. You're looking...

I don't know where you got the idea that re-supply in SNP is difficult. What is it that you need that the stores don't have?

Maybe you should try hitchhiking into Elkton at Swift Run Gap or Luray...

i agree with warren. no way should going into town for re-supply/meals or getting maildrops be considered "support".

thats not hiking. thats off-road speed-walking. but good job anyways

i believe green mountain club sells a wall map

altho, here in korea, dayhiking is a very popular activity. backpacking, not so much. long distance hiking? nah. whatta ya gonna do? mokpo to seoul? fuhgedaboudit

I would have to go with the CDT for the reasons stated above. its longer than the AT, and the CDT and NCT are not continuously marked. the ADT and the ECT are the accumulations of several long trails...

i was 34 when i did it. i dont think my parents were thrilled when i told them, but neither did they try to discourage me. no one i talked to thought attempting the hike was a bad idea. it was the...
