Robin...thanks for showing the documentation of your journey to Mt Washington. It gave me and three of my kids-16 & 2 x 13 yr olds- great pleasure to watch it from the comfort of a couch as we relived our recent hike up Lions Head Trail and back down Tuckerman Ravine. We completed this journey in the last week of July 2020 during the midst of COVID-19 so everyone was doing their best Lone Ranger impersonation on the summit virtue of wearing a mask...
Thanks again!
I hiked through lion head on a cloudy/rainy day, coming to this video to see the great mountain scenes, lol!
Was up in the Whites about a month ago. Your video and climb were spectacular. Thank you so much.
Appreciated labeling the mountains and trails.
That was one heck of a hike.
Great hike , beautiful views. I hiked the same trail 3 months ago. You are very brave by doing it solo. Congratulations.
Thank you for such an awesome video! Excellent quality. Great to see all of Lion Head Trail. We hiked Tuckerman Ravine Trail while engaged and I actually had a fever at the time that lasted a few days! Turned out to be UTI. We only hiked about a half hour longer beyond Tuckerman Ravine because of me. My husband has hiked Mt Washington several times while growing up.
Again thanks again for putting together a great video and showing many views on the way to the summit!
I just climbed the Tuckerman Ravine trail on Sunday ! This was my first climb, I can’t wait to get back to NH for more. We had perfect fall foliage and weather. Nice video man
My husband and I did the same trail up 2 years ago! Thank you for the video as it's fun to relive everything.
Nice job thanks. I hiked up Tuckerman's Ravine Trail, camped overnight and descended Lion's Head Trail. Loved every minute of it.
It's a unique place on the East Coast. Worth the effort.
Checked out your video before going. Clear picture of the trail. Thanks. Just got back from New Hampshire. went up Lions Head came down Tuckerman Ravine. I took 3:45 going up but I did stop and take pictures and spoke to a father and son, helped them take some pics plus I'm 50. lol. Coming down it was 4:15, I was taking it easy. I took 2 liters of water and was more than enough. I would caution anyone not used to hiking or out of shape to get some other trails in with a lot of boulders. The descent down Tuckerman was harder than the ascent up Lion's Head, for me anyway.
Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I have more hiking videos coming in the future.
Just watched this again. It's inspirational when on the step machine in the gym.
This comment made my day. That is so awesome!
Just did Lion Head two days ago. There was some detours due to rock slides and washed out paths. the detours tacked on an extra hr. we ended up having to go up tuckerman then hung a right at the cabin then connected to Lion head. If you start later in the day don't for get a head lamp for the treck down. Im glad I hit the stair master for the past month. lol
it was an awesome video....cheers.
I did this same hike. Not easy by no means. From Tuckerman's ravine on up, very steep.
OH MY GOD I WAS RIGHT THERE!!!! AND JUST LAST YEAR TOO!!!
Update: I did the same hike yesterday. I took me way longer than you but I'm a bigger guy. 4 1/2 up and about the same down.
I'm hiking this trail tomorrow in 90° weather
Went to the kangamangus twice, never seen mt Washington, looking at the mountains from belmont, at a lake, see mt Washington (barely)
How does this trail compare to Jewell trail? My wife and I are planning to hike Washington with our dog and want to choose the best route for safety.
Can't comment because I've never done the Jewell trail.
Isn’t there a decent trail up there? This looks perfect for snakes.
Nope, there are only indecent trails and I died by snake bite on my ascent :(
For future trips, can the camera move up just a bit? All we are seeing is a very close shot of the rock pile with out a perspective; like; where are you? Is it steep? It must be since you are using your hands. I sure did when I did this. without the perspective it's hard to know what's going on.
Yeah I wasn't happy with the angle either. This was a trial run of the rig I built. I adjusted and reconfigured things for the future. Speaking of which, a Franconia Ridge video is coming soon. ;)
The angle was a little off but was better Than most videos. Most people are bent over and the go pros are pointed downward mostly so you never get a perspective of distance, how high or steep the trail is or depth perception. I was able to get a better view and understanding of how level or steep the trail was with your video. Although I imagine hiking it will give me the best feel. Good job!
Hey great video man, you have a new subscriber! Is this a good first trail up Mount Washington? I’m not so worried about myself (Avid hiker and rock climber) as I’am my nephew. Is there a lot of scrambling?
Romulo Rubio there’s a fair amount of scrambling. Nothing too crazy I would say but I definitely wouldn’t recommend the hike for kids maybe under 10?
Robin Hikes Thanks for the info. I think I’ll take him in the Crawford Path, longer, but I’m not worried about his endurance on that trail.
Very cool.
My son, 18, wanted to hike up with me but no way, I am outta shape. So I have him looking into a guided hike. Any good companies that you reccomend? He is going alone with a guide. One company that I saw charged $250. My son is lean and fit but has NEVER hiked. What trail do you reccomend?
No idea about guided hikes. Sorry, good luck.
Thanks for posting. Can you tell us how long it took you?
3 hours to the top (could of been faster if I packed less). About the same amount of time coming down but I took the scenic way back. It shouldn't take nearly that long.
Did you encounter any snow on the trail?
No snow on the ground. It did snow briefly while I was above treeline though. Temperatures were maybe in the 50s so it was pretty strange.
I climbed the lions head before and that was difficult. Is the Tuckerman better for beginners?
Haven't done Tuckerman's so I wouldn't really know but I'd guess they're rather similar in difficulty.
There's some scrambling on Tuckerman's (but nothin' you need ropes for LOL) Tuckerman's DOES get narrow in places and it's a very long drop. Pay attention and stay off it in the dark. Most (not all) of the accidents happen when people keep trying to climb or descend when it starts to get dark. They miscalculate their climbing time and it starts to get dark and they use poor judgement and keep going. Dress properly. Right now it's a Sunday morning the last day of June. It's 9:18 in the morning and it's 65 degrees here and I'm only a couple of hours from Mt. Washington and it's 40 degrees on the summit. Mt Washington is the second coldest place on earth after the South Pole. I was up there on a Columbus Day weekend and it was 20 below at night and the wind was 90 miles an hour.
How long from start to finish? Thanks in advance
John Caban I did a loop which took 8 hours. If you’re strictly going out and back it can be done in 6 hours
would this be the best trail to go up on?
It depends on what you want to experience. I wanted to be above treeline as much as possible which is why I took Lion Head. I'm planning to do Tuckerman's Ravine Trail this summer.
Did this last Saturday. 2hr 51mins up, 3hr 32min down.
Where do you park to hike Lions Head?
Pinkham Notch
What song was that in the beginning of the video?
It's a live recording of a friends band. Glad you like it.
What’s all that squeaking?
Snakes :(
What's the most difficult trail to hike?
XxrayZxX902 I heard Huntington was extremely challenging
how much water did you bring with you
3 liters. In retrospect I could have gotten away with half that. There's a water fountain at the top. I said it in another comment that I packed too much.
sweet ty cant wait for the weather to get warmer to do this got inspired after watching Everest (2015)
Nah not for , terrible video compared to your others
Went back and looked at a comment of yours from 7 years ago. Nah not for , terrible comment compared to your others
