So I finally had time and weather to check off a winter version of one of the White mountains of NH crown jewel hikes. In it's easiest form it is about 19 miles and 8700 feet of elevation gain. 12 miles are above treeline. After a car spot with my partner we started at 0545. Unfortunately my...

Was hoping to have posted more of the things I've been doing this winter but it seems that every time I go hike or ski i'm enveloped in a cloud. Finally got off the weather schnide yesterday in a big way. I had been watching the forecast and saw that the high peaks of the Whites were finally...

8.5 miles, 5100 feet of climbing, and the best undercast I've ever seen.

I injured my ankle pretty bad from running about 2 months ago. I was in a boot for almost a month and I'm getting physical therapy 3x week but finally got the green light from the doctors to start hiking again. So I went on my first trip of the season last weekend. Weather blocked me from my...

Finally got back up the White Mountains in my back yard (2 hours away) here in NH, and hiked to the highest point in the northeast, Mt. Washington. It was an awesome hike, and I've been bitten by the hiking bug again, hoping to knock off a few more of our 4,000 footers (I've done 27/48 so far)...

I figured I'd post one of my NH trip reports, this one from the Franconia Notch area of the White Mountain National Forest. We tackled two more of the 48 4,000 footers in the granite state. Photos and Tracks at Gib's Adventures Friday, Meg, Scott and I did our first climb up to Franconia...
