"We made the summit of Marcy to see the total eclipse. About 50 of us there got to witness one of the most spectacular sights in nature. As the totality of the eclipse hit, the sky went dark and the white halo around the moon appeared. Stars were visible in the sky and colors like the sunset were visible in every direction you looked. A moment and a trip I will remember vividly for the rest of my life. " — j-mulligan • Apr 8, 2024

"Warm, wet, foggy, windy with low visibility on our climb up then as we approached, the final 0.3 miles, the clouds parted to let the blue sky greet us. Perfect timing for some photo ops while taking in the views. On our way down we got to see what we missed on the way up. Because of the conditions many folks turned around and missed a nice day. Once back to tree line the clouds came back. Trail conditions were less than favorable with soft mushy snow, some ice/crusty snow and way too many exposed rocks. No need for snowshoes only spikes which were useful half the time and a complete PIA the other half. Plunging into mini-ponds on our way back." — Nimblefoot • Mar 3, 2024

"A hike with Molly for our Grid. Busy day out on the trails. We headed up Falling Waters Tr and reached Little Haystack. Beautiful day up on the ridge. No wind until the northern side of Lincoln. We bundled up on Lincoln and wore jackets until Greenleaf Hut. Blue skies and fantastic views all the way across. We came down Greenleaf Tr and Old Bridal Path. We both picked up 2 Grid peaks today.

"Embarked from the Loj around 730 am. Heard from the ranger there was high water at Avalanche Lake and the bigs, so our original plan to hike Cliff and Redfield was cancelled. So we adjusted and hiked Marcy instead. Icy for Loj to Marcy Damn, then snowshoes needed the rest of the way. Clear and sunny skies at the summit, but an undercast of clouds made for a picturesque view with peaks breaking through. 15 miles in 8.5 hours, 3600 ft elevation gain. Warm temps for winter, light wind." — gregoryskiba • Jan 27, 2024

"A hike up Jefferson for my Grid. Headed up Caps Ridge Tr. Barebooted the whole way. Managed to work around the ice around the caps. About a half inch of snow at higher elevation. Barely any wind above treeline. Coming back down the caps, saw a black bear along the second cap. I finished my November Grid. 4.85 miles!!" — newenglandwarrior • Nov 1, 2023
