BTW, to answer your question about connecting Dolly Sods and Roaring Plains, I haven't done it, but it looks like it would be pretty easy with a small amount of road walking. If you hiked the...

I should have noted in my earlier post that Dolly Sods is _amazing_ and I think you'll love it. The earlier poster who mentioned making sure you get to the Forks of Red Creek is spot on. My...

I agree on the crowding on holiday weekends. The other thing to know about Dolly Sods and Roaring Plains is that the weather can be frightfully bad up there. It is usually dramatically...

We did this last New Year's Eve. It is a wonderful hike. We basically hiked it per Mid-Atlantic Hikes's instructions, but we added Dragon's Tooth on as an out and back, which added a little bit to...

I second the suggestion to email or call MSR. They have great customer service. We had a similar problem with our Hubba Hubba and they wound up replacing the fly.

There are a lot of options. These two websites are fantastic resources:

Crawford Pond is just off of the trail, about 52 miles north of Route 15 in the 100 Mile Wilderness. We used a bear canister to store our food and hid it a short ways off the trail. That was our...

Echoing what everyone else has said: We used them in July and had a great experience. We added a food drop at Crawford Pond, which didn't add very much to the cost of the flight for two of us. It...

We just did the 100 mile wilderness at the end of July. As to the question of parking, shuttling, and food drops, I would suggest using Katahdin Air. We had a great experience with them and it...

My first post after lurking for a while. We were out there for five days last May. We did a loop that crossed both Cranberry Wilderness and the adjacent Cranberry Backcountry. It is a spectacular...
