Come hike with us! Mt. Washington (Tuckerman Ravine + Lion Head) 

Washington is a great hike! Hopefully you’ll have a window of time to pick a great weather day, much of the year the summit is in the clouds. Thanks for watching!

Haha! For sure 😄 thanks for watching!!

and skin cancer:)

Haha thank you! The cog is still a fun time, so we hope you enjoyed it. We look forward to checking out your vid!

Haha, the music sure is a stylistic editing choice, definitely isn't for everyone. Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it! Interesting they kicked you out! Hopefully you'll be able to make the trek again at some point, but there are lots of other fun hikes out there too 😀

Thanks for watching! It’s definitely worth the visit, on the cog or through driving. Worth checking out the weather beforehand though, never know what you’re going to get up there at the summit!

Thank you! Just checked out your channel and subscribed. We look forward to keeping up with your adventures!

@@truenewengland you're welcome 😊 thanks for checking us out!

Congrats on completing it! Sure is a doozy on the legs and knees that’s for sure. Definitely worth hiking outside of the crazy peak summer season, but the only catch is the fall and spring can be pretty sketchy at the higher summits, more so than the summer, but definitely well worth it with less people if you hit the right day!

Awesome thank you!

Hello! Great questions, I think it may be worthwhile to do a video about questions like those to go more in depth. But to try to answer your question in a comment, I'd say start small if you've never done any hiking before. Find some local, easy to moderate trails around where you are, and do some research. Alltrails.com is a great resource to read about trails, their difficulties, what trail conditions may be like, etc., all so you know what to expect. I'd also suggest monitoring summit weather conditions before deciding to hike, and there are a few sites for that as well. Now when it comes to what to bring, it can be a lengthy list. We always have with us plenty of water, a waterproof map (don't rely exclusively on your phone, sometimes internet can be spotty and electronics can die), a first aid kit with a compass, hiking boots that have been broken in, trekking poles (we've started using these more recently with snow hikes and love them), of course snacks and a few other things, (bug spray, sunscreen, pocket knife). Also depends on the time of year. In New England, Spring is usually considered the most dangerous time of year to hike, with melting snow and ice, rivers and streams get quite high, and then you're also dealing with mud and often just all around poor trail conditions. Some trails even close during this season because they become unmanageable. Summer hiking in New England is probably the most popular. You have much more day light, it can be hot, but if you pick a good day this time of year offers fantastic hiking. Fall in New England is wonderful because of the colors, but this is of course when it starts to get colder, and higher elevations can start to have quite unpredictable weather compared to lower elevations. And shorts and t-shirt weather is often more preferred than having to wear a hat, gloves, face-mask, sometimes goggles, handwarmers, snow pants, gaiters, snowshoes or crampons, like you should in freezing temps with ice and snow on the trails like with winter hiking. Now with that being said, winter hiking can be spectacular if you're looking to get out on trails with far fewer people, no bugs and mosquitos, and experience silent forests and crisp winter air with little to no haze at the summit where you can see for miles. But I'd say that really do your research on the mountain you're choosing to hike in the winter, there are some that, if you're not an experienced hiker, should just be left for better conditions. Sorry for the lengthy comment, there's just so much to be said about hiking, what to bring, when you should go, and I barely scratched the surface! Luckily there are plenty of resources out there online nowadays to dip your toes into, if you're interested. Thanks for the questions!

Hey there, thanks for the comment. Not sure about other hikers, can’t speak for all of them, but it may be a matter of semantics. In our understanding of the words a “cascade”, or “cascade falls” or “cascade waterfall” is a type of waterfall, just as a cataract is a type. Waterfall then can just be a catch-all term that people use when describing any of the ten or so different types of waterfalls. So all cascades are technically waterfalls. But yes, we agree, not all running water is a waterfall.
