    Tough call. Every state has some great trail, even PA west of the 501 Shelter. My two finalists are NH and TN/NC. The Whites are hard to beat but TN/NC has both GSMNP and the balds, especially the...

    Kinsman Notch

    I didn't find any suitable campsite between the Beaver Brook Shelter and several miles north of the Notch except one in the Notch itself. Just look for the No Camping sign about 0.2 mile south of NH...

    Arthur Jolin

    He operates a shuttle service based in Gorham, NH, that I may use for transportation between Crawford Notch and Glencliff. I would be interested in feedback from anyone who has used his service.
