"Hiked up Borestone to see the eclipse. Only made it to the western peak, but the view of totality and the surrounding mountains was amazing. The snow and crowds lead to an interesting and slow descent, but also a very fun snowball fight" — noahthackeray • Apr 8, 2024
"Molly and I headed up from Kittery the day before for the eclipse. We slept in the car in the parking lot for Bald Mtn. We headed up around 10am and arrived at the summit around 11:00. The observation platform already had about 10 people there and a bunch of other people on the ground. The platform was also smaller than I recall it being. We claimed a spot and stayed there for 5 hours. Totality as around 3:30 for the eclipse. Everything turned dark, much like before sunrise. It was an amazing experience. There were about 100 people on Bald Mtn by then. We headed down the mountain soon after totality was over, being stuck in a conga line of 20-30 people deep. The snow was soft mashed potatoes and our microspikes helped. We then had the long drive home. From Oquossic to the Height of Land, it took us 1 hour, 5 minutes to drive 11 miles. Beautiful sunny day. Some wind on the tower made things brisk but we were well bundled up. " — newenglandwarrior • Apr 8, 2024
"Two season hike.. spring bare ground hike till entering the evergreen forest when it became a full winter condition trail. Spikes necessary for the steep final mile. Blue skies, little or no wind." — goshen-bagger • Apr 2, 2024
"5 of us hiked Spaulding Mtn from the Sugarloaf golf course. Nobody did their research on the distance of the approach. We bushwacked from the 11th tee to the CVR, then road walked for several miles to Caribou Pond. We went clockwise around it to reach a snowmobile pass. This was an abandoned snowmobile pass as we discovered, but it did take us to the AT. We then hiked past the Spaulding shelter and up Spaulding. Low cloud cover today and no views. We hiked back out the same way. Turned out to be a 17.5 mile day. Way longer then anyone was expecting and we were all tired. " — newenglandwarrior • Mar 16, 2024
"This was an add on to my planned hike. Saw a spur trail on the map beneath Mt Reho. When I reached that point on the map I was pleased to see a double yellow blaze. Followed the faded blazes on an unbroken trail to a beautiful series of ledges with great views west to Mt Washington. " — goshen-bagger • Feb 27, 2024
