"First high elevation hike of the season to acclimate for summer hiking. Still quite a bit of snow on the higher peaks, but the trail was clear to our destination today. I forgot how good the pines smell and the weather was perfect. Great day with my honey and puppy. " — maggielynn • May 15, 2024
"Research indicated this hike is not meant for the Two Muttz so we went muttless on this trip. We started at the base of Gold Mountain Road and took the Jeep road up to the top. The road is extremely rocky and is definitely not dog friendly. Beautiful views throughout the hike to the top." — TwoMuttz • May 14, 2024
"A total trail hike of Eagle and Balsam out of McKenley Hollow PA. Nearly 20* warmer today versus yesterday( 35*/52*) at 7am. Definitely quite warm today, bringing out the black flies, confirmed by the two other hikers I met today. Neither water crossing was a problem as the water levels are going down with the warmer temps and lack of serious rains. Numerous blowdowns on the trail between Haynes and Eagle that blocking the trail, need to get the maintainers out to take of them." — Nimblefoot • May 14, 2024
