This is the best, concise yet comprehensive overview of NH’s 4000 footers on the whole of the internet. Cheers.
Thank you. I am an Adirondack 46ers. When I did those, I started with most of the better ones and the end was mostly the lesser ones. I want to work the other way when I get to New Hampshire.
Great video! Brave to make a list! 😊
A few thoughts. Talking with many hikers, I think most would put Owl’s Head much lower. Such a long hike for such a mediocre summit, though slides are fun.
Mt Jackson is not a Presidential. It’s named after an early NH geologist.
I suggest Lincoln and Lafayette be done as a loop. Up Falling Waters and down Old Bridle Path, so you get that super cool 2 miles or so ridge line. If anything that’s even cooler than the peaks, and it’s still only a little over 8 miles.
Totally agree about Washington, shame to hike all the way up to a parking lot of cars and tourists. Huntington is an outstanding way up. Wife and I took our 9 year old twins up one summer day. I’ve later taken one of them Huntington a few times in the winter. Great fun.
In fact, winter is our family favorite time to hike the Whites. Actually easier than summer, no bugs, fewer people, snow is beautiful!
Thanks for the video!
When you were on South Carter, there should've been a vertical piece of wood on a tree to the left (if you came from Carter Dome). It had SOUTH CARTER 4430 carved in it. But I climbed it last in 2010, so it may need to be replaced or maybe it fell off. It was about 40 minutes past the Carter-Moriah trail sign
Great job! Exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to hike them all.
Thank you! I'm planning some hikes and this is a great resource
Prime hiking season is winter! Never too hot. No bugs. Fewer people.
Great job and summary of the NH 48 mountains.
Thanks for posting this great video and commentary!
Thank you for watching! More cool stuff on the way!
Great video, man! Thanks a bunch! I’m planning a single season summer 48. This helped confirm some things for me.
Glad to hear it! Best of luck on your endeavor
Mountaineers greetings from the alps, the 4000 meters peak area. Hey, a wonderful video and door to the white mountains.
Thanks for doing this! I got some good ideas from it too😊
Love the trail going up E Osceola from Greeley Pond, the Tripyramids (and the gigantic erratics S). Hiked there 50 years ago with a descendent of an original family.
Great to see. The list is subjective, but that's how it should be - each of the 48 holds something for every one of us, so there's always room for all thoughts and ideas. "Traveling is better than arriving."(sometimes attributed to Walt Whitman - true source, unknown). Be well, stay safe.
Thanks for sharing your experience with everyone. You perspective is much appreciated. I've done some of these climbs when I lived up north (now in southern NH) and would like to do more, but at my age I have to pick and choose carefully because my knees have a limited amount of hikes left in them. I wish I'd climbed more when I was closer to the Whites and had the time and stamina.
I pretty much agree with all this. I’m a huge fan of the Northern Prezi’s too! ✨💖
Awesome video!!! Thanks
Thank you!
Adams is a wise choice for #1! Looking back down on Star Lake and across to Madison is one of my favorite views in the Whites.
It’s a view I wish I could see again for the first time!
@@nimmoinnature7622 And then there's the huge white Boulder by Star Lake.
Great review. Totally agree with Washington. Loved going up Ammo to Monroe and then down tge Gulf and Jewell. Not a fan of the summit craziness. Planning on finishing on Madison by September 2023.
Done them all twice. Great video and it brings back so many good memories. Pretty much agree with your rankings. Happy to see the so called dreaded (LOL) Owls Head up in the rankings. I love that mountain. And I rank Carrigan up there more than you. Great job overall!!
my first 4k was last week. Glad that you approved of it . ( Jackson)
Good take on them ‘ I agree on most I just feel like Liberty has a different feeling at the top and maybe would have put it 15-12 . Thanks good listen
Great video! May I ask what trail/ loop you would recommend for crossing off multiple mountains? I’ve done about 5 of the 48 and saving the more challenging hikes for when I get more endurance. I’m a slow hiker.
Mt Garfield. Believe that it is the highest tent site location in the Whites (?). That's why I have been there so much.
Bro I can't believe I haven't seen this until now! Fantastic video! tho not sure if I agree with the list.... lmaoo
also 26:29 I wonder who that is
Here's an idea, if you've done the winter list (I haven't, too slow and cold phobic for the really long ones). Rate them according to winter. My daughter is 25% finished; I am one behind because I couldn't get the last several hundred feet of Jackson.
It would certainly be a different order because in winter several routes are not available or not feasible, making some trips totally different. For instance, the Tripyramids are better approached from the Pine Bend trail than the loop and slides. Isolation has some bushwhacks you can do from the Rocky Branch trail, and going up Glen Boulder to Boott Spur would be craziness. I did Owls Head as a day hike in the summer, but you’d have to camp it out in the winter.
I really liked that the trails you took weren't always the customary (easy) ones. That kept me interested wondering which way you'd go. Forgive me (please forgive me, it's not a criticism of you in particular) but I have to correct your pronunciation of some White Mtn place/ names. If I don't correct you, viewers will think the way you pronounce them is correct and it's not. You are correct on Moosilauke; said with or without the E. Pemigewasset is pema- Ja- wasset. Guyot is a French spelling so, GEE-O, that's not Gee as in Oh Gee!! But Gee as in Geek. Willey is Willie, if it were wiley (like Wile-E- coyote😁) it would have only one L. I think that's it. Q: have you hiked in the Mahoosucs yet? Small, but gnarly.
You out moosilauke WAAAAAAAAY too high. And above Jefferson? Can’t agree more. But other than that I appreciate the ranking
Huntington or knife edge?
