    Sorry... I am confused. If the Perch is one mile down off of the ridge how can you take a "blue blaze" trail to or from the Perch to save 0.7-mile? I obviously am missing something.

    Hmm... that's a difficult one. Where was it before it ended up in the truck? Was it in a warmer environment or was it already cold? If it was inside your pack then I am guessing it was fairly well...

    Thank you for the info, it is very much appreciated! I read in the White Mountain Guide book that this was a fairly rough trail. It also said it was easy to lose the trail in the areas where it...

    Thanks. This is good info to know because my buddy and I are coming from Michigan and are not well-acquainted with the fine details of specific trails in the Whites.

    And yes, I plan to avoid trails on the east side that head down into the The Great Gulf. I've read that those trails are steep and rugged and don't lead to anything very quickly. Although, I do...

    Thanks Slo-go'en. Our plan is to get the shuttle on Monday morning, hike up to Madison and start heading south. We have the option of Crag Camp, Gray Knob or The Perch along the way. But depending...

    Thank you for the info. We now have some serious things to contemplate. It seems we have many fewer options than when we attempted the Pemi loop several years ago.

    Thanks for the info. I definitely did know any of that. It looks like we may need to rethink how we plan to do this. Although, this is exactly why I asked the question.
