Thanks!

Ha! We’d want a lot more than that for nettle angels!! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the rest of the video!

lol! thanks

Oh thank you so much for the wonderful comment and the reminiscing about the NPT! Jeff grew up spending a lot of time up there and did northern half of the NPT with his dad in the late 80s too! You should still get outside and enjoy the outdoors - never say never! We've been through ups and downs with health and life - and always work our way back into the woods, even if we have to start really small before we get back to where we were. We hope you enjoy our other videos just as much!

​@HikerTrashHusbands my renewed interest in the ADK (and NPT) comes from a recent weekend trip to the Indian Lake area with my 15 y/o nephew. We rented a cabin in hopes to see an Aurora and the Pleiades meteor shower. My main issue with roughing it is lower back issues. Sleeping on a firm mattress has me walking like a 70 y/o. So I can only imagine what a night on the ground would be like. I have considered a kayak or day hike to Kelly Point (one of my favorite places in the ADK). I love the rock point and the remaining foundations of the old camp. Have ever visited there? I am a co-host of a LGBTQ+ community radio show out of Rochester NY (though I live in Chenago County NY...the power of Zoom). If you are interested in spreading the word about outdoor adventures let me know.

@@gregcooper7396 Moe is much more of the backpacking fan than Jeff and swears by using a hammock to camp - has a whole set up for it. We stopped at Kelly Point when we did our NPT hike, but haven't been back since (Jeff stayed there as a kid too on a Long Lake canoe trip). It is such a nifty place and so beautiful. We'd love to chat sometime about the outdoors and our adventures. You can send us an email at thehikertrashhusbands@gmail.com.

We’re glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching and hope you enjoy our other videos.

It would be a fun snowshoe! Will have to remember that.

Most of the primitive camp sites and leantos in the northeast US are first come, first serve. In the White Mountains of NH some are reservation based or require payment when you arrive. There are also huts in the White Mountains run by AMC, which require reservations and payment. If you look in our video description there’s a link to the White Mountains guidebook. You should get yourself a copy of that and it will give you all the details on what’s free and first come, first serve and what you have to pay for and get reservations for.

There are some really great little mountains in that area - the Royces and Caribou are great hikes.

Hey everybody! A good portion of 113 closes for winter, so get up there! We went down that way, too. We were camping at Hastings.

@@beckiejani7782yup, this is all closed up in the winter!

It’s a wonderful spot!

The Whites are really just a magical place. From the big and rocky mountains, to the quiet wilderness areas. We are so lucky to have it be our backyard of sorts, feel blessed with every trip up here. Though we’d love the trails to be a little less rocky lol - two boys can dream!

We were over on Monroe on the 4th! Kinda in the same neighborhood. Awesome video as always!

@@zerolimitsoffroad6346we could have waved to one another from the summits! One of these days we’re bound to run into one another and we look forward to it! Appreciate all the kind words on the videos 😊

Thanks for watching!

Hahahahahhaa. I stood there and was like omg 🤯

Thank you! Only sometimes in the Whites. Other times you can hike for miles and be like is this the trail.

Awww, I saw the tracks but missed the moose! Willy from the other side is a lot of climbing and those ladders are crazy! Nothing too scary, just lots and lots of them as you come up to summit.

Great spot to visit year round! We’ve got a video on our channel about visiting in winter.

Ha! So true - up and up and then right back down. Thanks for watching!

There are trails.... some trails.... ok, a few, that do have sections that actually switchback... but not many of them. Wish there were more of them.

@@rogerlevasseur397we think you could probably count the trails with switchbacks in the Whites on two hands max!

It’s a beautiful falls

It was an awesome hike!

Gotta Do the Dew! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed our journey. Hope you check out the rest of our adventures.

Hahahahahahahaha

​@@HikerTrashHusbandshaha, Seth. First and funniest!

@@beckiejani7782 💯

Glad to hear that you had such a good time!! It's one of the amazing and rugged treks in the Whites. We love it and can't wait to do it again.

It was so freaking cool!!

It’s such an amazingly scenic area. Every time I’m there I’m still amazed by the diversity and beauty of the region.

We had planned on a paddle on the river, but the water levels were too low when we got there, so we settled for some tubing and lots of exploring.

It sure was an adventure climbing down to the waterfall underground!

Easiest ascent to the hut is via Valley Way trail, which starts at the Appalachia Trailhead. From there take the Appalachian Trail up to the summit of Madison. Go back down the way you came up. Every other approach is longer and or steeper (or both).

We’ve been working our way thru Moe’s old pics and videos to see what we can pull together.

@HikerTrashHusbands Super cool stuff. Doing the 4ks on the weekends and found your stuff recently. Watched thru alot of AT thru hike stuff and your NH hikes. Glad I found your channel!

@@buckaroobanzai2551 Awesome of the 4000-footers! Glad you've enjoyed the videos - we've got some new NH content coming up after a few more videos from our Arkansas trip. Thanks for watching and maybe we'll run into you in NH!!

Thank you 😊

Just a great section of trail

Thank you!

It sure was! Loved the hike and the amazing view from the Imp Face!

They are some great views! Glad you enjoyed the video.

It sure was! And what a view at the top!!

👍

Very cool! If you do attend next year, we will need there.

👍

Very inquisitive one, we sat there talking and staring at one another for a few minutes

👍

Thanks!

Yes, definitely the Imp Face, but overall it’s a nice loop (especially without snow) for a 3-4 hour hike that’s relatively moderate for White Mountain standards.

I haven’t been to the Imp Camp, but it’s on the list of places for us to further explore.

@RhodySeth, just got back from a Wildcats-Carter-Moriah traverse. We backpacked it. Stayed at Carter Notch Hut and Imp Shelter. Imp Shelter was brand new in 2017. I highly recommend staying there.

@@OutdoorsWithJohnUSA good to know, thanks John!

@@OutdoorsWithJohnUSAthanks for the info!

Not sure where the name comes from, but it’s a great hike and you can’t beat the view from the Imp Face/Cliff itself.

It sure is!

Glad you enjoyed the hike and the video! It sure is a beautiful mountain and a great hike. Hope you check out our other videos too - lots of Catskills’ hikes
