My solo day hike to Galehead Mountain and South Twin Mountain via the third steepest mile on the Appalachian trail located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Both Galehead Mountain and South Twin Mountain count for the New Hampshire 48 4000 Footer (NH48) hiking list. The New Hampshire 48 4000 Footer list, created by the Appalachian Mountain Club, consists of 48 mountains in New Hampshire with elevations of at least 4,000 feet and a minimum of 200 feet prominence. This video is part of my series where I attempt to find the best day hikes in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Did I find the best day hike in New Hampshire? One of the top day hikes in New Hampshire at least! Specifically, Galehead Mountain and South Twin Mountain are located near Twin Mountain, NH in the White Mountain National Forest.

    Looked like you could see half the world from the South Twin summit! That hike looks doable in two days with one overnight. Very long trail and rocky section too! Like seeing you use the hiking poles.

  • @johannehoyt6868
    @johannehoyt6868 22 години тому

    Amazing views and video! I will not have this one on my hiking list due to that rock scramble. I loved the long distant shots. Keep up the good work as I am hiking these virtually through your videos😊

  • @MikeRyder-ml2mb
    @MikeRyder-ml2mb 23 години тому

    Yeah, for trekking poles! Never knew this was the 3rd steepest on the AT. I did this last year with 2 nights at Galehead Hut and included North Twin (nice outlook there too, not it’s summit). That was a more humane way to knock off 3 NH48 summits. Downside of that was you have to go up and down from Galehead Hut to South Twin.

    I went thru Navy SERE training as a U.S. Force Recon Marine in the White Mountains of Vermont/New Hampshire in Oct. 27th thru Jan. 7th 1975/1976. I still remember one of our instructors telling us the White Mountains will make you dead PDQ in any season, but especially winter if you aren't focused and smart and determined to stay alive.

    I hiked Mt. Adams quite a few times back in the late 70's through the 80's. It was the starting point for every hike in the White Mountains. Crag Camp and Gray Knob were the best places to rest, at a dollar or two a night you couldn't go wrong. We were a group of 12 backpackers and hiked throughout the region. Great times. I always had a walking stick, handy for stopping a slip.

    Nice video work, Adam. I'm a retired videographer for the Federal government. I appreciate your efforts. I'm 70 years old. Been hiking all summer, 10 mountains, Oseola the highest so far. It looks like you came down Hi Cannon. How difficult was it? Looks like going down Kinsman is even worse. Hope to do Cannon this week.

    I hiked this in the winter and came across the ladder long before i knew there was a T25 list. I didnt think twice about it being 'terrifying' 🤷‍♂️. Now I know theres a T25 list and could have sworn that the Chimney to Osceola would have been on it....but it's not. Who made this list!? 😅

    I'm always interested in your difficulty rating at the end. I know "a walk in the woods" is the easiest, but not sure how "off the beaten path" is different than a "road less traveled ". Maybe you can more detail in a future video.

    The monroe trail is also a lot of fun as well and has some easy level scrambles to summit camel's hump. Mt mansfield from underwood state park, killington via the bucklin trail up the backside and mt abraham on the battel trail are all great 4000ft hikes as well. Mt ellen is kind of boring and not much of a view.

    Love that first outlook. Just got to watch out for the aggressive Gray Jays that hang around there. At that point you just don’t know how many false summits you’re about to encounter.😓 Big rock scramble - How many times did you climb to get all those shots? Excellent perspective (especially the far away shot where you really get a sense how long that goes). Thanks for sharing!

    • @AdamHoyt
