I am visiting the Whites in September planning on doing the Pemi loop but also have Lakes of the Clouds booked for my 2nd night and plan to hike to that area from Pinkham Notch Tuckerman Ravine trail...
I am wondering if I should do the Pemi in mid to late September to most likely have better temps than even first week of October to concentrate on good weather for the mountains and not possibly...
I mainly read of hiking the Pemi loop in 2 to 3 days. Like other nearby areas should I plan for 1 mile per hour here and if so this is why I think of doing this over 4 days for the 1st week of...
Interesting that you mention WV because that is where I have lived.
I did the Presidentials over four days and wonder about the same for the Pemi because of similar terrain and less daylight.
I first would like to say a few weeks ago I was in the whites for the first time hiking the Presidential Traverse and loved it. Arrived in very bad weather and one person had died but a day later...
Parking at the Mt Willard lot may be good for me because I was looking to do that hike also because the view looks great. By the way I also thought of driving The Kancamagus Highway but wonder if it...
I have been planning my late June visit to the Whites since late January and believe I have everything already planned and paid for except what would be the best option to park my car near the AMC...
I had already sent an email to the state regarding parking after spending one night at the campground and received a reply that there is hiker parking right outside the gates to the campground and I...
I posted earlier that in late June I already have arrangements to fly to the region, rent a car to get to the Whites and then do the presidential traverse over a few days from the north staying in...
Are you allowed to park at Pinkham or Highland for multiple days when only staying there one night. I currently look to park in the area of Highland and take a shuttle to Pinkham for one night and...
I just booked my stays at AMC locations and I am glad I did since it seems at least the weekends in the valleys are already full just like my flight and they are not until early non official summer. ...
This morning I booked a flight to Manchester and small rental car arriving on a Saturday. Hope to be in the area mid afternoon and flight back Friday morning. I am trying to allow enough days to...
I also wonder about doing the presidentials by doing the AT south from joe dodge lodge to simply avoid one bus ride and finishing at highlands center area. Would the hike up to Madison from the...
I appreciate all the info and am sorry if I got off the subject. I also learned of an REI group hike in the area and the route they do but do not have the dates yet because of them looking to...
I have read of their trips which I believe are full. I read of a company titled wildland trekking which sounds very interesting. Much more expensive than trips I commonly do but I guess very...
Anyone have any experience or opinion on doing this area with a professional group where essentially you pay for a planned route, food, lodging and a guide on the trails for at least a few days and...
Do you feel I am concentrating too much on a night at the clouds hut. I read of the best time to be on mt Washington to be early morning because of weather and before the cog and road is open for...
I am still trying to decided what month might be best regarding best weather and not as many people and still not totally decided on a 3 day traverse or spending a week in the area doing different...
Thanks for the info. By the way what are the details of a place with self pay for parking. Do they only take cash and do they simply trust you to leave the correct amount in an envelope you place...
Anyone have any thoughts on renting a car at Logan Airport and driving to the area. Looks to be much quicker but much more expensive than taking the bus but would a rental car have advantages...
I have that book and printed and computer maps
thanks
I wonder if there are any good websites or books that would be a good source of doing day hikes up some of the mountains while returning to the valley for camping. I see AMC's Best Day Hikes in the...
Yes Covid is one reason I debate doing this at all this year. I do not fear it but obviously even after being vaxed it may not be good. I am use to mainly driving by myself and hiking and camping...
Concerning huts being able to find a campsite sounds very risky to me. I would prefer a campsite one night and possibly a hut the other night but I am use to backpacking mainly in off seasons and in...
