Trip Report: North Twin, West Bond, and Galehead
Finally I can see the end of my 4000-footer list. This was my second to last planned trip to get them all complete this season. When I done my pemi loop a couple years ago, I did not knock off…
Trip Report: The Hancock Loop and the Osceolas
I was unsure of whether to count this as a single trip or multiple trips. Technically I hiked between the two trailheads (even if it was along a road), so it sort of was a single hike. But for the…
LT 2016 Day 3: Cooley Glen to Starks Nest
We woke up at 6:45am. We had a great breakfast, mainly because some one shared coffee. I don’t normally bring coffee on my hikes, so this was a nice treat. The first hill we climbed after the shelter was easy…
LT 2016 Day 2: Middlebury Gap to Cooley Glen
We woke up at Kim’s friend’s house and got a ride up to Middlebury Gap to start hiking by 9am. Our journey begins I was warmed up from the day before so it felt great to be out hiking with…

Trip Report: Hale, Zealand, and Guyot
Josh Ain and I were eager for one last trip before the winter set into the Whites. We were also hoping to get that magical snowfall that doesn’t really accumulate but makes a hike so beautiful in the shoulder season…
LT 2015 Day 7: Birch Glen Camp to App Gap
Today wasn’t really an interesting day with regards to hiking. I got up pretty early with the sun shining and hiked the rest of the path down into App Gap. My original plan had been to get to the Inn…
LT 2015 Day 6: Montclair Glen Lodge to Birch Glen Camp
Continuing my trek at a snail’s pace, I started at a normal hiker time (7:30am) and walked only until the early afternoon before stopping. My knee was still hurting and I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to…
LT 2015 Day 5: Jonesville to Montclair Glen Lodge
New Winooski Bridge Having rejuvenated after a night at the Squires’, I bid farewell to Shea and Four Eyes and head across the new Winooski Bridge that was recently built. The new bridge reroute took me away from my resupply…
