"Calm and snowy day. Well trodden path with some blow downs here and there. Summit was cloud but calm. The Tower was covered in snow and ice and I didnt dare to go up past 2 flights. Great day! " — bobbaker • Jan 30, 2024
"Coming back from NY, 3 of us hit up Mendon for maybe Frank's NEHH finish. We started from the Bucklin Tr and followed the road. We crossed the river then followed some roads upwards. We eventually reached a point and just went up. We approached from an angle I have not done before. It was steep. The snow was somewhat firm. Sometimes we broke through and sometimes we stayed on top of it with snowshoes on. We found the summit and also went to the false bump as well. I did not realize there was a spectacular view to the south from there. We did not bother signing into the canister. We headed back down the same way we went up. " — newenglandwarrior • Jan 15, 2024
"Hike of Mt. Worcester, very muddy and wet. Trail badly marked in places and had to rely on Alltrails to make sure I was going in the right direction. Last mile or so is up a frozen stream to the steep, rocky/icy final scramble. Saw no one else during the hike fun day! " — bobbaker • Nov 16, 2023
"My son and I staarted about 10am and it was an incredble climb. This was my sons second trip up but my first. It was a challenge and i pushed myself beyond anything i thought i could do. We completed the top about 2:30pm. Cold, windy but beautiful. We decended and Im glad we were prepared for anything cause we got caught in the dark. Although the sunrise was gorgeous my calculations were off. Websites and reports are incorrect with the milage and times. Im an advid hiker so i come well prepared. I planned my trip based on reports and i was so far off. Trail was difficult with headlamps but i made it with my poles and my son lead the way out. We met someeone coming down that was just casually waking their dog and we knew then we were almist back. That last 2 hours felt like forever. We reached the bottom at 5:28pm 14.4 miles later. 7.5 hrs later. We will remember this adventure forever!" — valeriedupont • Nov 6, 2023
"My first VT Fire Tower just over the NH border. It gets you above the trees and the views are awesome! The top cab portion is not enclosed however, so you need to be prepared for windy conditions. Attempted to take the longer bike path down but lost the trail about halfway down due to leaf drop and lack of trail markings." — SteveM_StickMan • Nov 5, 2023
