Started at Fürenalp around 9:00. There was some fresh snow, but the trail was clear until Blackenalp. Several centimeters of (quickly melting) snow above that; was glad to have gaiters and hiking poles for descending through the slush on the other side of the pass. Encountered few people on the trail -- just two parties upon...

Decided to check out the Spannorthütte while having lunch at the Stäfeli. The trail was steep (and perhaps not the best place to be on the hot afternoon with a full stomach...) but well marked. Met just one person on the way up, and the custodian at the hut (who mentioned she might be leaving soon due to the forecast snow)....

Started in Engelberg at 7:00. The trail was in great condition with some mud above Rugghubelhütte and a few centimeters of hard snow above Engelberger Lücke (used microspikes but didn't bother with gaiters). The trail above Rugghubelhütte wasn't obvious but was well marked. Didn't encounter anyone on the trail on the way up...

Started at the cable car station in Kriens just as the first light hit the summit. The trail up to Fräkmüntegg wasn't too interesting, and quite steep from Fräkmüntegg up to the Klimsenkapelle and Pilatus-Kulm. I was glad the trail was clear of snow and not too wet. Didn't see a lot of people on this trail. Passed...

Headed up to the Trübsee station from Engelberg via Bänklialp and Gerschnialp. Despite the late start (after 9am), most of the trail was still in the shade. The trail was also in great condition--apart from a short section above Gerschnialp that had been turned to mud by cattle. From the Trübsee station I followed the...

Followed the "Walenpfad" signs from the Ristis chairlift station to Rosenbold, Walenalp, Walegg, Oberfeld, and down to the cable car station at the Bannalpsee. The best views were at Walegg. The restaurants at Walenalp and Oberfeld both looked inviting. The trail was in great condition. The spectacular, exposed trail between...

Took the cable car up to La Flégère. Followed the signed trail to Lac Blanc. The trail was rough in places, but well signed (once we found it), and there was a constant trickle of people. After an extended lunch break at the Chalet du Lac Blanc we headed back to La Flégère via the Lacs des Chéserys, just in time for the...

Followed the route described in the IGN TopoGuide, except that we started from the Anse du Petit Bas-Vente, and ended up in Deshaies (both places have bus stops on the N2). Had no trouble following the route, and managed to cross all the beaches without getting wet feet. Rated this hike T2 because of the steep and rocky trail...

This hike is described in the IGN TopoGuide. Perfect rainy day hike, as most of the trail was covered with enough rocks, roots and leaves to keep the mud at bay. No views, just forest scenery, and a few glances at the river. Didn't encounter many people. Before heading home, we headed down to the "Maison de la Foret", crossed...

Followed the hike described in the IGN TopoGuide. For the most part, the trail passes through farmland, with a few glimpses of the ocean, and decent "territorial" views. The trail was well signed, and in good condition, apart from some mud, and the fact that the boardwalk near the end of the loop was completely overgrown. Had...

Started at noon from the end of the road at Les Baines Jeunes, and took the shortest (or at least the most popular, judging from the crowds) route up. No issues with the trail. The last section was quite steep and required some care, especially going down. Some nice views on the way up. The top was in the clouds, but the...

Followed various trails and beaches from the Plage des Amandiers (near Sainte-Rose) to Anse Tillet (near Fort Royal). The trails were well-signed, for the most part, and I managed to keep dry feet... Crossed a few crowded beaches, but encountered few people otherwise.

Left the car at the pullout on the north side of Hwy 89, past the (still gated) Spring Creek Rd, and walked to the end of Spring Creek Rd. Couldn't find an obvious trail, and turned back when after half an hour of bushwacking a view up along the winter route showed nothing but more of the same, and not a speck of snow. Next, I...

Left the car at the gated entrance to D.L. Bliss State Park, and walked down the road (with some shortcuts) to the trailhead. Followed the trail to the boat campground at Emerald Bay. The first mile or so didn't have much views, but the rest more than made up for that. Encountered quite a few people on the trail; must get very...

Left the car at the Inspiration Point viewpoint, and walked through the closed campground to the trailhead. The trail to the falls was short and easy (though a bit rocky in places). Near the end, the trail isn't obvious (the ground is covered in granite slabs, and people go in all directions), but you can climb down some rocks to...

Reached the Paso Picacho campground at 4pm. Left $8 in an envelop at the entrance for parking in the day use area. Found the Lookout Road after walking through the campground, and followed it up to the top. On the way down, I took the Conejos Trail to Azalea Springs and back to the campground. The trail junctions were all well...

Started out at the trailhead near the Wasserfall restaurant at 10am. The trail was clear up to the bridge over the Tätschbach, and patches of soft snow after that. There was only one, short section of the trail that was somewhat problematic (narrow and exposed, hard snow, handrails not installed yet). Did a short trip up along...

Reached the trailhead at 11:00, after a kilometer or so on a decent dirt road. There were plenty of cars there, but I didn't have any problem finding space to park. Hiked a clockwise loop, with a short detour to the lighthouse (and the amazing viewpoint just behind it). The first part of the trail followed a maintained dirt...

Started from the large parking lot at the l'Aileron trailhead sometime after noon. The trail up to the 3rd shelter was steep in places and rough, but well-signed, and the footing was good. No mud! Climbing up above the 3rd shelter, the trail was often nothing more than a bunch of slippery boulders. After stumbling around in the...

Started from Grand Anse. The trailhead was up a short, steep road. If the trailhead hadn't been signed, we wouldn't have believed that what we were looking at was the trail. Looked more like a river, with large rocks and plenty of water. This continued for all of the trail, except for a flat stretch near the top, which was muddy...
