Solo Mt. Washington Backpacking Trip on a Perfect Weather Day! | & Trying New Gear!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- I set off to on my first backpacking trip in months to hike Mt. Webster, Mt. Jackson, Mt. Pierce & Mt. Eisenhower. When I noticed how rare and beautiful the weather was in the Presidential Mountains, I kept on hiking and hit the peaks of Mt. Monroe and Mt. Washington too!
Besides being lucky with the perfect weather, I also enjoyed my beautiful spot at the Naumann Tentsite, getting to watch the Lake of the Clouds Hut resupply via helicopter, and getting to meet so many new people!

I'm older and have done a lot of solo traveling and frankly like it that way. The last time I stayed at a hostel, I noticed the young people weren't talking, they were all looking at their phones. They are really missing an opportunity to meet people from different parts of the world. Thanks for sharing.
It is a weird feeling to be stared at like what are you doing here.
I like that you can be honest with the camera about being lonely and off at times. Most people make hiking sound like it is all rainbows and wild ponies!
What an amazing hike. It's heartening to know there are still places you can leave a new bike locked up for a few days without it being stripped or stolen outright! Definitely I'll be taking the crappiest bike I own and/or thoroughly hiding it if I ever get the nerve to try a bike spotting trip!
We all feel that way sometimes Taylor. I've been there. I think its all part of the human experience. Loved the video! Looking forward to bumping into you again when I'm no longer a cripple!
Glad I'm not alone! Thanks! Heal up quickly
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker I forgot to tell you how much I loved your map graphics in this video!
I would have talked to you 🥺
🥺!!
Beautiful views! Went to Mizpah many times in the 60's/70's, back when it was being built. Thanks for taking us along.
Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night! Great to see you on trail!
love the footage of the helicopters in action, i knew that's how they got materials in, but ive never seen it in action
I was so happy I got to experience that!
Thanks for capturing the helicopter delivery system ... that was great.
I wouldn't sweat not connecting with strangers at camp, you met the cool camp host and caught a ride with a subscriber, sounds like great encounters with some cool peeps, you scored some amazing weather for views.✌️
I have struggled with socializing at camp on occasion. Mostly it depends on the feel I get for the people there. Maybe they realized who you were from YT and were a bit star ⭐️ struck. Lol. Beautiful views and happy trails. 🤘🏻🥾🏕
I stashed a bike on Lincoln woods just before black pond for my owls head trip…..so happy to see it on my way home!!!
Sweet. I really enjoyed this one. What a day to be on Mt. Washington and not even plan it. Next week I have 4 days planned from Crawford notch to Carter’s notch. (On the AT) It is also a training hike for the Geochalla trek in sikkim India in oct…. the part of your video that made me want to be backpacking the most was when you were in your tent just starting to pack up. That means it’s push time ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and congrats on your baby hiker.
Taylor, I so appreciated the chance to meet you at Parkside & Main--your kindness to step away from friends and family for a pic was super nice! Hiking solo but then being immersed in an environment with lots of other people can be uncomfortable--I get it. Love your videos! You inspire adventure. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi Mary!! I was hoping I'd find a way to send you a message. It was so nice to meet you and thanks for your kindness too :)
Thanks for sharing Taylor. I've felt that want for human connection yet have wicked anxiety about talking to people. I barely have the guts to say hi when I see you around town lol. It's a strange feeling yet I remind myself that hikers are typically super friendly. I haven't solo backpacked so not sure how I would feel. Happy hiking!
It is such a weird feeling, glad we aren't alone. And I'd love for you to say hi! Chet mentioned recently that he saw you around and I felt bad because I didn't recognize you. Hope to run into you again!
That looks like a sweet day. I love the idea of stashing a bike somewhere to allow you to do a loop va out and back. Great job getting back out there!
I always feel lonely in crowds, even if I know everyone. I'm watching you on your 2nd AT hike now. Love all your videos. ❤
So cool! i love and miss my MWV..
Bike spotting… awesomeness. I love watching you because you remind me so much of my daughter Olivia. Keep on keepin on!
That was a fun video. I like the biking back idea.
Glad you liked it!
What a great video. I love that you added your bike in the video. I’ve always wanted to do that. I live in Massachusetts. The trails are all long. I always have to go back and forth hiking. I was always nervous about using my bike and where to stash it. Everyone gets shy sometimes. Don’t worry about it. That was awesome the resupply at the cabin. So cool. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video, I needed this today. It made me feel better!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Well looks like you had a beautiful day, maybe your people in the hut felt that you weren’t approachable and that’s their loss. Have a great day.
Maybe :/ But it was a beautiful day! It was just an hour of me feeling sad, but other than that it was a perfect time.
seems to be a good year for nice days up there
I love the preview in this video! That was a really cool editing trick!
Wow! Had to edit this comment and say wow! I can see you are stepping up this editing! The map routing your hike was very cool. Great job!
I have never heard of bike spotting. That’s an intriguing idea.
Yes! Come hike the AT again in 2023! We would be happy to take you in :)
Thanks!! I had fun editing this video! I watch way too much RUclips in my free time and adapted some new things. :)
Awesome video. Thank you.
Me and my wife met you today at your store 😎. I hiked up Mt Washington yesterday for the first time my legs are dead today 🤣🤣🤣 i have been addicted lately to mountain bikes mainly downhill and trail riding its lots of fun and painful all in one. Great vid and your store is awesome i get the whole dealing w people sometimes at the races sometimes i get swarmed by people most of the time I’m ok and other times i am just really quite i guess it all depends on my mood that day.
It was so nice meeting you guys today! Thanks for stopping in 😊 glad you like the video and store, I appreciate it!
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker anytime.
Great video. I love that place and much enjoy you sharing.
My wife and I met you at your shop back in June. I was the awkward one that day. My wife had to introduce and break the ice. We all have nervous times. 😊
YES, you put in the mapped trail! Thank you, love it!!
Thanks! Glad you liked that!
ugh the white mountains are literally a heaven on earth
Oh my god, bike spotting. I never thought of that. It's perfect for me!! I actually geared up for cycle touring and added a backpack so I could go hiking too. I always go alone so that limits me to loops or out and back trips. bike spotting can easily make for longer trips. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with us. You're the best ❤
Nice bike! I am looking forward to the bikepacking content ;) lol
Thanks!
Yay! Taylors back!
Good video. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick
Thanks 👍
Hey Taylor. I'm gonna have to say there's absolutely no reason whatsoever why people wouldn't want to talk to you. I can think of a few reasons why they didn't engage.
1 from personal experience in the backcountry if there's a woman alone I usually do not go further than giving my friendliest good morning good evening ect. My reasoning is I don't want to appear threatening in any way .
2. Perhaps your appearance of being such a seasoned hiker was intimidating to them. Sometimes people gate keep themselves from someone in the backcountry who's obviously got it going on with ease.
I'm sure there are many more possibilities. But the fact of the matter is your presence around the campfire will only enhance the backcountry experience.
Thanks for sharing your vulnerable experience that's never an easy do. Much respect ✊!
Also would have loved to see the bike experience perhaps next time.
I feel like that when I solo backpack too! I'm afraid of bothering people, if they're hiking with friends or as a couple and they don't really want any outsiders. It's made me more aware when I'm backpacking with others and I try to invite solo hikers in to the group if they want to join. Missed seeing your videos! That looked like a spectacular day for hiking!
Love your videos! Taylor you are awesome!😊👍🏕🗻⛰
Thanks so much!!
I thought about doing the bike stash thing…I need to try this to extend my solo sections. Beautiful day in a beautiful area. Loving the new gear.
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Wow you hit the jackpot of beautiful days and how cool to watch the resupply. I like the bike idea. The one thing I'm not thrilled with are up and backs on the same trail, always feel like we could do more. Thanks for posting.
It feels like Christmas morning to me up in those mountains. ☃️
I think everyone feels awkward like that at times. Sometimes some groups of people are more welcoming than others, and it sounds like the people you were around were not. It’s not you! Keep on keeping on-love your videos and your spirit of adventure!
Your problem maybe stress, sometimes the mind can play games with you. Don’t listen to other people for advice talk to your doctor and good luck to you Taylor
Terrific video, Taylor. Enjoyed hiking along with you and look forward to your next adventure. As a shy person myself, I sometimes exclude myself from socializing on the trail and then get mad at myself for having done it. LOL. I wish I knew how to fix it. I hope you found someone to share with.
Taylor you and I are just the opposite, I'm a wicked introvert so I love time spent alone on the trail. I do stop and talk to other hikers if they start the conversation though. I definitely want to stop into your store and say hi, my girlfriend and I were in Meredith about a month ago but it was a little early and you weren't open yet. I'm a fellow Nahamsha resident so next time I'm in Meredith.
Oh that reminds me when you talk about the food I found out you don't need much food
I've walked into a crowded hut and right back out as well. Feeling you on the awkward. You had a gorgeous day going up to Washington though, bravo!
It is so nice to see a video of you hiking- looking forward to your hike in Oct !!!
Wow, bike spotting. I live near Dolly Sods and that could come in handy to not have to do a loop, but a point to point hike instead. I love my xTherm. Thanks for sharing.
I wholly understand - I generally don't mind being on my own at times, but yeah, sometimes you really want some company :)
Nice seeing you again. What beautiful weather for your hike. Stay well and be safe.
Thanks for the shout out Taylor. I really enjoyed meeting you finally!
Same here!
Great video and views. Thanks for sharing. How did you like the new tent? Stay Safe and HIKE ON!!!
Hi Taylor. Thanks for the making and sharing these videos. I too just got a new bike, a Trek Marlin 6 and am loving it. Again many thanks for ur videos
Taylor, thank you for sharing. I really appreciate your honesty in feeling a little weird and awkward on this trip. Personally, I struggle with group interactions, if I don't have an invitation. The idea of walking into a place and having everyone stair is a familiar one. Did you end up having the experience you wanted while cooking dinner on your camp night? I hope so. Thanks again for the ideas and the honesty!
No, dinner was still pretty lonely. I ate at a table by myself inside the hut. But I was just in a funk. Once I woke up, I felt a lot better and was social the next day :)
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker Sorry you had that bummer of a moment, but I'm really glad you were willing to share it. I wish more people would talk about their struggles, no matter how small. It helps us all feel a bit more normal when we are experiencing the same feelings, I think.
locking your bike to a tree up trail was awesome that's something I would do this video is cool
Nice idea stashing a bike or cheating as some purists may view it. Thanks for the episode and congrats on the wedding. My out and back on washington on Sept 10th was all fog at 6000 ft so congrats on the awesome weather. Washington only get 90 clear days a year
Another excellent video. Thanks for all the gear reviews you given us. I've tracked temps to fine tune my gear over the years.
Amazing video Taylor another great one!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing. Happy for you to be able to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Like another person said, it is still freaking hot in Texas. I'm thinking about moving from Texas is a few years.
I look forward to your next hike.
Hopefully it cools down a bit!
Beautiful video and great trail route!! We live just south of there in Jackson. If you're ever back and wanting company we'd be so pleased to have you visit. Happy fall and happy hiking!
Nice! You really hit the weather window, I was going to day hike Washington the same weekend but pulled a muscle in my back. I wouldn’t go past the entrance of the hut either unless I was desperate for food or beverage.
Kind of funny, because the Heard Hiker has been calling out to you for weeks on his NOBO as he passes thru NH......and there you are on Washington... you must have heard him...lol
I saw the same helicopter at the Madison hut that day, cool to see them resupply.
So cool! I got word the day before that it might be happening and i was nervous i was going to miss it!
When you are recognized people may seem timid cuz you are that RUclipsr. Just say hi,how ya doing? Love your hikes.
Stunning shots, trail looks somehow exotic. 👌👌
It was amazing!
Well I guess you could say I lived to see the day when the skies were blue, nary a cloud nor storm in sight throughout the entire presidential range. Now how did you manage that ? hmmm I think it might have been a wedding gift from the White Mountains to you. Congratulations on both accomplishments !!
(truly I never did see such weather up there all day long🎶) Beautiful video... sorry you had to experience "shunning" or maybe it was a memorial for a fallen friend,people are kind of an awkward quiet then too.We used to do that for lost comrades.Then one day,your the only one left... don't worry either way... you had an superb day
I felt so lucky with that beautiful day! I couldn't let it go to waste by heading back to my car that morning :) Thank you!
That's funny I was up in the White mountain September 1st to the 6th actually I went home the 5th because of too much rain I was supposed to have a six-night camping trip White mountains camp Lafayette I climbed up to mount Lafayette mount something I forget the other one got lost walked all the way down to the highway about two and a half miles away from camp after walking 9.5 hours some nice people gave me a ride back to camp
Thanks for being so transparent in your video. I have definitely felt this way too. I wonder if it has something to do with people having their cliques at the hut so they don't feel the need to socialize with anyone outside of their group? Either way, It's hard to walk into a situation like that when others don't seem welcoming :(
Did you get out for Flags on the 48? I should have bike spotted the time I went up Crawford Path with the intention of bagging Washington and heading back down Crawford Path. When I got to Lakes of the Clouds I was not in the mood to bag Washington and not in the mood to head back down Crawford Path so I took Ammo down, yes, I went down Ammo and WALKED back to my car. I need to clock it but I think there were at least 5 miles between the Crawford Path Trail head and Crawford Path Trail head. By the time I was back at my car, I was in tears because my feet hurt so bad. I had intended to tent at Zealand campground that night but after a short nap, I packed up and headed home to Concord to my comfy beds.
Thanks for sharing…
Thanks for watching :)
👋🏻
Go with your intuitions, we don't always know why we have them, messages from the Spirit world.
I'd be really interested to hear your opinions on the tent, especially how it might work with AT thru hike weather conditions.
I like the editing! It’s cool, would love to know how you mapped your hike like that. I wish I lived as close to the whites as you, I would hike alllll the time! Also the bike spotting is clever, I hate out and backs I get bored
Thanks! I used GaiaGPS for the map of my hike. And when I edited, i just opened it in paint and recorded myself drawing on the route i did haha. The Whites are amazing!
The loneliness could be part of the non-hunger issues you keep experiencing. Anywho, this is similar to the hike i have planned this weekend, except I will be looping down through the DRW area. Another good vid!
Thanks! Have an great hike this weekend!
taylor thanks for sharing. was wondering if you would consider hiking the wonderland trail next year. I am currently section hiking the AT with my daughter but would love to try the wonderland. Peach
I would like to do walk camp with you next year
You are amazing!! I am in the search for a new Trek - which one did you have there?
🦋
How did you get your shoulders accustomed to that pack…. I really missed the lift loaders.
It’s only fall there where you’re at. 😂 It’s still 96 degrees and ☀️ in here in Texas.
Big difference! haha
How do you feel about Tennessee making camping on public land a felony charge this year? Do you think it will spread to other states. As someone who camps I'd be interested in your opinion. Do you think Tennessee making it a felony aligns with this countries motto of being the land of the free?
i want to figure out how to get an umbrella to stay on my pack
Excellent video. I used to hike a lot in the Whites, one trail I never did was the Davis Path, have you considered that one?
Thanks! i havent taken davis path up washington, but im sure i will one day
Strange that you felt weird with the other hikers after you set up your tent. You seem like very easy person to get along with, and very personable on this channel. Then you ended the worry but never explain the outcome.
Have you done monadnock
also what mountain with good views would you recommend for hiking with an English lab? something very easy lol i want to visit in the fall
It’s funny…you showed wonderful equipment and places and only one minute of the video was about loneliness, yet 9/10 comments are about loneliness. 😳 Nice hike, looking forward to your details of AT NH. My brother and I want to do it someday so that will help us.
I do understand how you felt weird at the hut. I feel the same way if I enter the huts when they are full of paying guests. I feel like I am crashing a party. As an accomplished thru hiker, you probably long for the wisdom of thru hiker talk and you probably won't find that in an AMC Hut full of wealthy guests. I am not saying they aren't nice people, but they tend to be lacking in trail wisdom.
So what shoes are you hiking in
How tall are you and how did you fit in the Plex Solo? Do you think that it would be too small for someone who's 6'1" on a 3" thick sleeping pad?
I'm 5'8'''. It was a little close to the top while sitting up in the tent, but it was pretty roomy when laying down.
Taylor; beautiful day in the Whites. Congratulations on your recent marriage.
Thank you!!
Question: Did anyone (besides Dan) recognize you from RUclips ?
Yesssssssss it was an unusually busy day haha
Maybe you used the wrong pro nouns or something at the hut...they seem to be pretty big on that stuff there.
