"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
"We started at 8 am, a couple cars beat us. Cloudy skies and in the 30s-40s at the base. The first mile was gradual with patches of snow. Snowshoes were needed for the rest of the ascent. The next 2 miles were basically straight up until a junction. We decided to skip South peak, as it wasn't broken out. The mile to Moosilauke peak was a flat alpine zone then a bare climb. Some peaking views through the clouds but overall was in the cold and windy haze at the summit." — gregoryskiba • Mar 16, 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 for a Calendar Day and for Molly's Grid. We did a car spot so we could grab NE Cannonball for her NEHHw. From Lafayette Campground, we hiked up a hard packed trail up to Lonesome Lake. We then hiked into the col. A short steep hike took us to NE Cannonball. We carefully came down (some slick spots) then headed up Cannon. There was a lot of really icy areas and we had to go off trail for a few of them. Once above them, it was a quick hike to the summit of Cannon. It was windy on the summit and some low cloud cover. We were not socked in, but Franconia Ridge was not visible. We came down the KRT down to the Tramway." — newenglandwarrior • Mar 2, 2024
"Five of us drove to Twin Mountain,NH with one mission to get the smallest and oldest member of our group, 82 yo Marguerite(AKA Itty Bitty), to Mount Jefferson. It would be her finale peak of her W48 quest.
Today we choose Mount Jackson as our warm up hike/peak while we wait for bluebird day for Jefferson. Unbeknownst to us she began to suffer a small stroke as we started the hike from Rt 302. Moving very slowly and unable to talk within minutes of the road we promptly aborted and got her back to the motel. The local in our group got her to the hospital in Littleton for an MRI then got admitted.
The three of us went back to the TH and had a wonderful romp up to the open summit. The forecasted strong winds and cold temps were not an issue as we took in the fine views, particularly to the Presi range.
