Hiking The Hancocks After the Rain in the White Mountains of NH

I suspect the trail does not usually look this wet and muddy.
When I first starting hiking the list of 48 mountains higher than 4000 feet, I realized a barrier for me would be the capacity to cover 10 miles in one day hike, which seems required for many of the hikes.
This year I've committed myself to hiking more regularly and it seems to be increasing my ability in the duration department. This Hancock hike wasn't very exciting except for the fact that I did it without severe setback or need for recovery.

I can vouch that taking a dip when you find a nice stream or pond never gets old -- even at 66 years young!

@RachelWhelton 2 месяца назад

Ahh, good comment. I look forward to getting to that again.

@@RachelWheltonI just did the Hancocks for my #26&27...and in your honor I took a fantastic long dip at that very same water crossing. Thanks for inspiring it!

@@marcohanig176 Hooray! That sounds very refreshing! Glad you had fun and congrats on the 26/27.

That trail's a nice illustration of how walking in winter can be so much easier.

@RachelWhelton Месяц назад

Yes. Since I am currently working on healing a leg injury, any site of rocks makes me cringe. So I am hoping as I heal and we get to winter, the site of packed snow will cure my anxiety. I say this partly kidding and partly serious!

Love the end of hike summer tradition.

To me 9 miles is an impressive achievement. I guess it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Either way nice hike

@RachelWhelton Год назад

Thanks! I feel empowered to keep going.

Trail was rough that day. Extra muddy! I don't particularly care if people camp on those established spots along the trail, but a shame about the firepit - they should break that apart when they're done with it.

@RachelWhelton Год назад

It is very interesting for me to learn the rules and how different hikers abide by them. Probably some people think the fire ring defines this as a dispersed campsite and less use on the land because people only use the same spot. But if you break it apart as you say, that follows the rules for leave no trace.

So I just wondered...before you caught up with the hikers with sandwiches... around footage 10:30, what causes those trees to be cut off and have no branches and leaves? Aside from that I'm always amazed you can find your way thru all the winding trails ...do you ever refer to the Gaia app (or any app) to see where you are? It also amazes me how you often get a camera shot of you hiking when I then realize you had to set up the camera, walk across a stream or whatever, and then go back again to get the camera! I also wondered why the water in the streams is kind of brown? The water looks clean... so is that iron content covering the rocks or what? anyhow, another good video, and I say 9 miles is good enough! I only walked up and down the hall between my kitchen and computer room many times today. (working from home).... A lot less than 9 miles. 😬

@RachelWhelton Год назад

Trees on the top edge are exposed to harsh winds and bitter cold so they die back but still try to grow. I look at Gaia if I feel doubt but these common trails are not confusing. The water is brown from tannins in the trees. You can see a lot more about it on Google.
