NOTE: This is not a beginner's hike. If we haven't hiked together before OR your Ridj-it profile is bare, please comment with some of your past experience before signing up for the trip. Also, we'll be on the teetering brink between fall and winter in the Whites, so please be prepared for wintry conditions! I'll be reporting back on the weather when we get closer, but it's probably safest not to sign up just yet at least if you don't have winter hiking experience.
Enjoy this 13.2-mile loop trail near Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 8 h 1 min to complete. This is a popular trail for backpacking, camping, and hiking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of the day.
We will be bagging two 4000 footers in this hike and this is a long hike (13 miles). We will be starting our day very early so we can use all the daylight we can. Depending on the speed of the group, we might have to hike in the dark as well.
