Highlights
"Hiked with Dean today. We left the Upper Giant parking area at 9:25 am @ 8° and under cold blue skies. Micro spikes door to door. Trail was frozen hard packed with 1" of fresh powder. Views from the Nubble were gorgeous! Took pics and enjoyed the summit, then returned to the car at 12:05. A short morning hike with big rewards!" — garyogden • Feb 5, 2025
"Hiked with brother Dean today. Left the car under partly cloudy skies, windy and 12° with flurries. Trail was perfect... hard packed and frozen. Some ice near the summit. Spikes door to door. The views were good but limited with the flurries." — garyogden • Jan 24, 2025
"Ice only near the summit, I had my microspike. Negligible quantity of ice on the summit. There is a narrow bridge without a guardrail near the beginning of the trail that must be crossed." — pierredenommee • Nov 15, 2024
"From AMR lot to H G Leach Trail by moonlight, headlamp to Bear’s Den, up to Dial, over to Nippletop, down to Elk Pass, up over Colvin to Blake, back over Colvin, down to Fish Hawk Cliffs, Indian Head, Gothics Window and back out to the lot. Long day " — DHiker • Oct 23, 2024
"My first hike of the day. I came in from the Crane Road parking lot. Flat approach, then some ascent. Beautiful directional view to the west from the summit. I headed back down and went off to hike my second peak of the day." — newenglandwarrior • Sep 17, 2024
