Hiking In The White Mountains & Adirondacks
2w ago
- Winter is quickly vanishing in the White Mountains as February was one of the warmest and snowless months in almost ten years. With the warm temps and easy snow conditions Sarge and I took full advantage of it as February rolled into March.
- Frist up, a pre-work scamper to Tuckerman Ravine for Bowl Pawtrol with special guest Bo Jackson (see pic below). We made it to Lunch Rocks at 8AM, it was unseasonably warm and quiet, I could have easily taken a nap in the sun without worrying about getting cold at all.
- Sarge and I had the whole ravine to ourselves and we spent about fifteen minu ..read more

Trip Report:
- Sarge had been waiting about two months to get Rockpile #50 and Sunday he was rewarded for his patience. Temperatures were mild above treeline, mid to high twenties which is quite warm for late January, and the wind was nonexistent. To add to our good fortune, we were treated with undercast, so it was a "unicorn' type of day in the alpine zone.
- We took the express way up to the summit, t ..read more

Caps Ridge Trail: 5.0 miles, 2,800' elevation gained
- Sarge spent the end of summer working on his four-season grid, he already finished the winter 4K list in 2021 but since then I haven't focused on the peaks he had left in spring (5), summer (12), and fall (1). Most of the summer ones he had left were not the most exciting peaks and with this being the summer of rain I had no interest in taking him on any water-logged trails. Instead, Sarge spent the summer accompanying me up the rockpile on Dood friendly days and running the Great Glen Trails on hot and humid days.

Adrew S. just completed a 110 mile fast-pack with Philip Carcia traversing all the wilderness areas in the White Mountains over flooded trails, disgusting humidity, and rainstorms, so this morning would be a piece of cake for him.
