Trish, I'm hoping to be up there with my son (he's 10) at the same time if scheduling allows. We'll be sure to say Hi if we see you. - debi

Kevin,
My husband and I were up around Franconia Notch photographing waterfalls on Saturday. We were in the crowds and all I kept thinking is I bet it's gorgeous on any summit. Thanks for the pics...

Kevin and Mark - thanks for the input. It would be a bit long. Hubby lugs around a 4x5 camera and could probably entertain himself for a couple hours but it does sound a little long overall. ...

Chris,
Thanks. Sounds doable with the family

How far in are the falls? My husband and daughter aren't interested in the summit but would hike that far with my son and I if it isn't too long or hard of a hike. We would leave them there to take...

My family and I are on Site #12 for Fri and Sat nights

I live in Amherst which is in the south central part of the state. We love it here. Has gotten a little busier since we moved in 10 years ago and some day we hope to move closer to Tim&Val but it's...

Welcome. STP is a wonderful experience. I hiked last year with my sister and brother in law (Tim& Val). We met a lot of great people from the forum.

Congrats on another great hike. My son is excited to start hiking this year, he is 10. My 12 year old daughter thinks she is too young/small to hike a 4K so I showed her the pics of Alex and her 23...

Gorgeous as always. Great trail report.:)

Weather is predicted at 60 and sunny and it's a little more predictable in the southern part of the state although it's still early in the week. I was just having the discussion with Val today about...

Our schools do this with the kids for the couple weeks before Earth day. They take them for local hikes and our Fourth graders go up Pack Monadnock. I'd be up for a month off to just hike and be...

Excellent pictures. Looks like a gorgeous day. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info, may need to check it out. I bet they would love it.

Mark - I showed your pictures to the kids. Their eyes got big and they said "isn't it scary to slide down that". Then they got really excited about the prospect. May have to hike it again when it...

Beautiful butterfly picture. I believe it is a silvery blue. I will direct my friend the butterfly enthusiast toward the picture for confirmation.

The pictures look great. I haven't been up this one yet. Val & Tim, pick a date and I'll be there!!!

Thanks. It was well worth the effort of the climb. The views were gorgeous, and I got to hit Tim with a snowball in June. What more can you ask for.

Thanks for the support from all of you. I look forward to spending much more time in the mountains and to STP.

Thanks Val but I hardly out hiked, I just kept up. It was fantastic. i can't wait for Monday and Monroe.:)

Thanks Mary. We've been up it before just not this early in the season. This is an "easy hike" to start training for STP. Not easy for me but just an afternoon walk for my sister and her husband...

Not to get off the topic, but how was Monadnock? I plan on either that or north/south pack in the next few weeks and was wondering how the trails are.

Great trail report and pics. I will be with you next time, definitely. I'm glad you had a good hike. Debi

It might be fun to slide down but I would have to climb up first and until we start that training thing for STP I don't think I would survive the up. Maybe on a "smaller" mountain but the we...
