Hey everyone,
My dad had me hiking the AT through the smokies by the time I was 10 years old. Now 27 years later it's my turn to take him on some hikes that he has always wanted to do before he hangs up the pack. He is still in great shape at 62 years young but is preferring the RV more and more every year, lol.
We are wanting to fly in and hike Mt. Washington then drive north and do Mahoosuc Notch and then drive north again and do Mt Katahdin and then fly home. I have a few questions, if you all could help me out with this, it would be great!
1) What would be a great hike 2-3 days to cover Mt Washington? Does the AT go to the summit or is that a side trail? Should we spend the cash to stay in the hut?
2) What would be the best way to cover the "slowest mile", Mahoosuc Notch? Is there any loop trails?
Sorry for newbie questions but most of my experience is on the southern AT.
Thanks in advance!
