In less than two years, we hiked the Appalachian Mountain Club’s (AMC) list of 48 mountains above 4000 feet in New Hampshire.
While not a fan favorite, we loved this 18.5 mile hike of Owl’s Head to finish our 48 4,000 foot journey.
The Carters and Wildcats Traverse held up to its reputation: steep, rocky, and long. However, with the end of the 48 in sight, we pressed on and tackled this traverse, minus Moriah, in one day!
Hiking the Presidential Range in one day, which includes the highest peak in the northeast — Mount Washington — was a daunting feat. But, it was perhaps the best day of hiking we’ve ever experienced.
Hiking Mount Isolation was the most difficult test of our entire NH48 journey: winter route-finding, a bushwhack, and the coldest either of us have ever been before.
