Hello all,

I'm looking to get a shuttle from Hwy 501 to Bearwallow Gap this Thursday evening. Who would be someone nearby I could check with?

Thanks in advance!

My life is about music. Heck, I own a music store, but I agree with Creek Dancer.

My suggestion would be a three day from Crawford Notch to Pinkham Notch, hitting the northern Presidentials. Leave your car at Pinkham Notch visitors center and get a shuttle back to Crawford. Our...

A man has gotta get props for that comment. Good one!

I was there a couple times last year and from the Lake Burton (east side) the FS road will end at a gate. From there it's about a one mile approach until you reach Addis Gap. It did not appear that...

I just assumed you might have included book times for different directions as the elevation gains are pretty different. Who knows... :)

Seems like book times in the Whites are a bit misleading,...

In case anyone is interested in the outcome, on 7/13 I left Carter Notch Hut at 5:45am and made it to Hwy 2 at 5:25pm. I took many breaks, about 2 hours or so in total. Spent some time chillin' on...

I hear ya, moldy, but just because a hiker isn't in shape doesn't mean the section that took him/her off the trail is the hardest. Besides, someone should have told them about the parking lot 1...

Sixhusbands is right. I just hiked that section a couple days ago. For the purposes of planning, you won't actually have to go down to the shelter. The water is right on the trail by a bog bridge...

Its a fun climb, but having just returned from finishing the White Mountains, I'd have to say not even remotely close. In fact, the climb around Firescald Bald just north of Hot Springs is even more...

Did you start at Rte 16 on the 19 Mile Brook Trail, then left on the Carter Dome Trail up to Zeta Pass, then AT to Rte 2? If so, that looks to be a bit further than Carter Hut to Rte 2. Carter...

Thanks, peakbagger. VERY good info! In speaking with Bruce again, I now realize he meant some thrus do the Pinkham to Rattle River TH in 11 hours, not the stretch from Carter Hut to RR TH.

Last...

So, you went from Pinkham Notch to Imp via the AT, which is 13 miles of *very* tough terrain, in 8 hours? If so, cool. That gives me a bit of hope. :)

I spoke with a shuttle guy (Bruce "Golden...

Oh, haha. I see how that's confusing now.

What I meant was that I used to be 110lbs overweight, but now only 40lbs. I just included that in there to help indicate that I've hiked a ton lately,...

Thanks everyone for all the info! I'm figuring on a Stony Brook Trail exit if need be (or Carter Moriah).

Speaking of hot time of year... How hot are we talking on average? I just ASSumed it...

Hello all,

I'm heading up to the Whites on July 11th to finish out the stretch from Crawford Notch to Gorham. Due to various circumstances, I am starting at Pinkham and going to Gorham, then...

I've used this guy a couple times. Nice dude.

Stick, I just did the Fontana to Clingman's section last week. As far as views, one little side trail is practically mandatory in my opinion. When you get to the top of Shuckstack, you'll see a...

Whew! That looks to be a tough one. I don't know if you figured it into your mileage or not, but remember that Peck's Corner is .5 mi off the AT. Personally, I'd try to do it in four days. Three...

I absolutely love them. I have both bad ankles from a couple accidents (one foot was nearly amputated back in '98, had multiple surgeries, lots of hardware in there, etc) and I can tell that it...

I'll throw in my two cents worth on the matter...

I had several cases of PF over the past 10 years, and in all instances I changed to very soft soles (running shoes and crocs) until the pain...

Thanks! I still have a way to go, but I'm chipping away at it and lovin' it!

I am section hiking with a friend right now. We go at different paces throughout the year. Sometimes I'm faster, sometimes he's faster. We used to always hike together, but now we usually hike...

Well, there it is. That makes sense for sure... As a big dude, I usually require water like it's going out of style. I was trying to carry less weight and just refill water at streams. No doubt...

Quick history: I'm 5'11", 255 lbs. Lost 60 lbs last year after becoming obsessed with hiking the AT. :)


This year I'm just getting back into the groove of things after a two month winter...
