Black flies here in central NH were very short-lived this year. As Peakbagger mentioned, usually Mother's day to Father's day but at least here they were gone once we got into June. On the other...

+1 on the Collegiate Peaks Loop if you can fit the 160 miles in. Otherwise, Segments 18 through 24 which is Route 114 at North Pass to Molas Pass and Rte 550 between Durango and Silverton. 108...
Greetings. Heading out this week from New Hampshire to hike Segments 18 through 24. Wondering if anyone knows the current status of the seasonal or those "semi-reliable" water sources in Segments...
Way above average rainfall for July in the southern half of New Hampshire and presumably the same for VT. Be safe out there but have fun.
Nice job on the guide. Hiked it NOBO the first few days of November a couple of years ago and had a great time. Had the trail and the shelters to ourselves that time of year but plenty of wildlife...
I live in the Concord area and always looking for an excuse to get up north as well as an opportunity to pay it forward/pay it back. Would be willing to pick you up at the bus station in Concord and...
Nice write-up. I hiked it the first few days of November a couple of years ago and although we had some cold nights, short daylight hours, and foliage was obviously gone - really enjoyed it. Had...
Thanks Rob. Yeah, the train to the airport certainly looks like the way to go. We ended up in the Denver area after our Collegiate Peaks Loop hike a couple years ago and after seeing Bonnie Raitt...
Once again the Whiteblaze community comes through. Much appreciated!
To those from and/or familiar with Denver. We are planning on getting off the CT after a week and a half long section hike on Saturday or Sunday of Labor Day weekend and getting a ride, bus, or...
Thanks Rob and Lonehiker. Rob, your advice was spot on when we hiked the Collegiate Peaks Loop so I often find myself reading your posts with extra interest. I have looked at resupplying via Equity...
Thanks. Agreed, how things work out on the trail continues to surprise if not amaze. A couple of years ago we hiked the Collegiate Peaks Loop and had flown into Aspen from NH. My hiking partner...
Thanks the info guys. Digging a little deeper, apparently the "noon" volunteer shuttle runs until August 31 and like Idsailor mentioned, if it even ran at all this past year. I do see two other...
Happy New Year all. Planning on doing another section of the CT the end of August beginning of September this year. Wondering how easy or difficult it will be to hitch a ride from the trail on...
Ditto on the +1 for Frog Toggs. Those black spruce branches will do a job on most any rain gear so better to have to replace one or two at $20 a whack versus crying over a $100 jacket or having to...
Go for it. Kerosene makes some great points so please read his post a couple of times. My daughter did a SOBO thru in 2012 and started in mid June. She was similar age as you (22 at the time) and...
Gorgeous! On my ever-expanding bucket list. Thanks for posting.
I just saw your post (a few months late). Hope you had a great hike. Although ours was 4 years ago, it was memorable and we are in the early stages of planning a hike from the southern end of the...
Ditto on New England in late September or early October. Rutland, VT to Lincoln, NH would be approx. 115 miles would would make for a full week and some great NE and AT scenery. Enjoy and be safe...
Have never filtered but always treat (with AquaMira) unless it's out of a spigot. I'm an old fart and have done this on the AT, LT, CO Trail, and all around NH. So far, so good.
Tarptent Notch and include a set of their folding poles instead of using your poles. A great tent and problem solved. https://www.tarptent.com/product/vertical-support-pole/
Ditto on the Notch. Double side doors and vestibules are a real plus. Very well made and great service when and if needed.
Very cool! Congrats.
While I agree with the earplugs suggestion, I, and I suspect many others, respectfully disagree with the rest of the post. I've always slept like a rock at home but on the trail it's a different...
"Peak" brand. A product of the Netherlands but I found it in an Asian-African market. I think it's a bit tastier than Nido - which I like also.
