A fellow from southern New Hampshire is actively hiking all of the trails described in the AMC’s White Mountain Guidebook and is now more than 91% complete. At the same time, by virtue of hiking all the trails, he is also consuming the Terrifying 25 list and was up to 23 trails (12 of the required and 9 of the electives). He is now closer to the end goal for both lists.
His ideal route was to hike Huntington Ravine Trail from the Harvard Cabin to the Auto Road, then take Nelson Crag Trail down to Old Jackson Road (AT) and follow that back to the start at Pinkham. Due to the notoriety of Huntington Ravine Trail, however, he wanted a knowledgeable guide to go with. The last thing he wanted to do was to have some sort of mishap and be out there by himself. A reasonable request.
Inasmuch, we asked Redline Guide Will Murphy to take lead on this one and lead he did helping our guest meet all of his goals for the day making a complete loop. Will was able to grab some photos of the adventure, as follows:
